hideBackButton attribute hides the menuToggle button too

The Problem

I push the Root Page to Page2 that supports a side menu, the issue is that when it opens Page2 it shows the back button and hides the menu button for that I've tried to add hideBackButton to Page2 in order to see the menu button but I both the back button and menu button disappeared!

Here is my current code:

  <ion-navbar hideBackButton>
       <button menuToggle start>
       <ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
       </button>
 </ion-navbar>

The expected behavior should be:

Should hide the back button, and show the menu button.

You can use following instead of your code:

<ion-toolbar hideBackButton>
       <button menuToggle start>
       <ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
       </button>
 </ion-toolbar>

If you don't want to allow the "back" action on your Page2, and since you face a problem hiding the button, why not removing your root page from the history stack before accessing your Page2?

In such a case, the "back" action not gonna be allowed and the "back" button not gonna be displayed too.

About how to remove a page from the history stack before pushing another page, you could have a look at:

You can't do that following that way; however what you can do is to do a setRoot instead of pushing from the root to Page2
