"Back" button in title bar?

If you open a new window with and it has a bar at the top it will have a button to the previous page automatically. You can also put a button into the bar on your own

var back = Ti.UI.createButton({
    title: "Back",
    style:Titanium.UI.iPhone.SystemButtonStyle.BORDERED
});
back.addEventListener("click", function() {
    Ti.UI.currentWindow.close();
});
Ti.UI.currentWindow.setLeftNavButton(back);

Hi Shlomo,

What's your windows variable set as? If you're using CommonJS, then you can try…

function someCoolWindow() {
  var self = Ti.UI.createWindow(...);
  var backButton = Ti.UI.createButton(...);

  self.leftNavButton = backButton;

  return self;
}
module.exports = someCoolWindow;

If you have just a .js file and are using say
```
win
```
as your window variable, then you can do
```
win.leftNavButton = backButton
```
