  An Android 'back' will close 'heavyweight' windows. Since you're creating a lightweight window back closes your app instead. Have a search for 'heavyweight' to see previous threads on this topic.

• Actually, you can capture the back button click. When you do this, it no longer closes the current heavyweight window. See answer here: http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/118993/how-to-fire-androidback-or-simulate-back-button-click

• You can't add one window to another window, as far as I know (or at least you don't need to). When you call inner_window.open(), doesn't that open the window right on top of win? Then when you call inner_window.close(), it should just close inner_window and leave win in place.

• modal:true,
  exitOnClose: false

  this fixed my problem, Thanks
