Back button on popup show not disabled in android

[LeleDev]

When a popup is shown, the user can still navigate back through the underlying views using the physical back button, on Android. I think that this behaviour can lead to many unpredictable states and issues. Could you please block the back button while a popup is visibile?

Thank you in andvance

We'll make the back button close the popup instead. Thanks for the issue!

Thank you!

Similarly the hardware back button also navigates back while the loading overlay (from $ionicLoading) is displayed.
Personally I avoid this by making the back button close the loading (I use promises to know it's been closed or not), but in some cases it could be better to just ignore the back button.

Ideally I think there'd be a sensible default (no action ?), and the possibility the add one's own callback.

What do you think ?

@gouegd , nice point, I totally agree! It would be wonderful if we could disable the back button when the loading overlay is visible!!
