Description

Natively it is possible to hide the backButton programatically using the hidesBackButton attribute. This is discussed in this StackOverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/614212/how-to-hide-back-button-on-navigation-bar-on-iphone We should consider using this property when the user wants to hide the button.

    We can expose this property as property of Window - Titanium.UI.Window.hidesBackButton
