Close pop up on back button

according to http://www.mylearning.in/2015/06/close-modal-pop-up-on-back-button.html

    $('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
        window.location.hash = "modal";
    });

    $(window).on('hashchange', function (event) {
        if(window.location.hash != "#modal") {
            $('#myModal').modal('hide');
        }
    });


if (window.history && window.history.pushState) {
    $('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
        window.history.pushState('forward', null, './#modal');
    });

    $(window).on('popstate', function () {
        $('#myModal').modal('hide');
    });
}

This could be done easily using Apache Cordova but not sure if you are using it to show your page in webview.

function onBackKeyDown(e) {
  e.preventDefault();

}
document.addEventListener("backbutton", onBackKeyDown, false);

bootply.com was down when I was testing my answer. See the inline script and comments at the bottom of the code below. The rest is just Twitter Bootstrap boilerplate so that I could easily test it locally.
