Those blocks open the “Info” screen and close the screen that is currently open.

What do you mean (currently I am on screen1 and after clicking on that button I am switched to the “info” screen and closes screen1) Is that so?

#4

Yes, that’s correct.

thanks for your information :slight_smile:

So what is the benefit of using this function? We could also open the Info screen directly.

This is one of the way of closing the screen properly. Using this block you make sure you are closing the current screen and then opening a new screen.

In this way app has only one screen opened at any given time. And thus you can avoid errors like OOM(Out Of Memory).

Say one more thing when we do not put any condition of back press on a screen. Still if that screen close, is it close in actual or not?
