Description

When attempting to include

document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBack, false);

within my onDeviceReady function, the app crashes (quits) during the loading/splashscreen phase.

I have also tried to use the WebWorks function

blackberry.system.event.onHardwareKey(blackberry.system.event.KEY_BACK..

but get the same result; app crashes during loading.

I have set the appropriate permissions in config.xml.
