native.showPopup how to remove?

I love the native.showPopup, but I can’t manually get rid of the popup. It seems the user has to manually cancel the popup which makes it very akward if they start navigating through the app but the popup is still there. I’ve been all over the internet and the forum, am I missing something?

With native.showlWebPopup() ther is native.cancelWebPopup(), but what about for native.showPopup(“sms”, options)?

Thanks

p.s. i would settle for a listener to know when the popup is cancelled by the user. That way I could hide the nav buttons when the popup shows, and display them again when the popup is dismissed. But I can’t find such a listener, the only format that seems to have any type of listener is the Twitter popup. Once again, am I missing something?

There isn’t a way to cancel the popup.  Its up to the user and there currently is no communications that can be tracked to let your app know it’s been dismissed.

Well that’s a bummer! Is this something that is in the works, or is it just not an option?

Thanks

I don’t believe it’s possible.  It’s launching the devices app store app and backgrounding your app.  You are not really there to return to.   If the stores build in the ability to relaunch apps, then we could possibly do something with URL Schemes.
