Blackberry browser back click

Question

I am trying to go back back to the previous page after loading a browser but it takes three back clicks to do so. I tried overriding the back button click but it still takes three clicks. I used following code to load the browser:

BrowserSession browserSession;
browserSession = Browser.getDefaultSession();
try{
   browserSession.displayPage(mapLocation);
}catch(Exception e){
   e.printStackTrace();
}

EDIT copied from answer by user:

I want to go to the previous screen not the previous page in the browser. The code for the back button :

protected boolean keyDown(int keycode, int status) {
  if(Keypad.key(keycode) == Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE) {
      _theApp.popScreen(this);
      return true;
  }
  return false;
}

Answer 1

to return to the previous page you may try the following:

UiApplication.getUiApplication().popScreen(UiApplication.getUiApplication().getActiveScreen());

I hope it will be helpful.
