Integrating with the Browser History

In addition to the view changing, you may notice the following when you navigate between views in your application:

• The URI in the address bar changes.
• The status of the browser history buttons is updated.
• The browser's title bar is changed to display the title of the view.

These changes occur because the navigation framework integrates with the browser's journal, which maintains the browser's history. When each view is navigated to in your application, it will be added to the browser's journal, which enables you to navigate through views you have previously visited, using the browser's Back and Forward buttons as if the views were standard HTML web pages.
