How to have back button bring you back to the widgets list?

Question

Issue:

I have an app I am working on that has a glance view, and a regular view when you click on it. Currently when you enter the regular view and hit the back button it doesn't bring you back to the widgets list. See images below. It brings you back to a Connect IQ screen. I am not using any delegate for the onBack it is just the default behavior.

I tried adding a delegate that popped a view when the back button was pressed and it threw an error.

The code isn't anything too fancy, Here is the app startup code. it is pretty much the default widget code.

--- AppBase ---
// Return the initial view of your application here
function getInitialView() as Array<Views or InputDelegates>? {
    return [ new $.testWidgetView(tracker)] as Array<Views or InputDelegates>;
}

function getGlanceView() as GlanceView {
	return [new $.testWidgetGlanceView(tracker), null];
}

Regular View: After Back Is Pressed:

This is where the sim differs from a real device. In the sim, when you start with a glance, the widget opens full screen and that back button terminates the app and you see the blue triangle. Same as if you sim on a device without glances or with glances disabled. The back button terminates the widget. Another difference is that widgets don't time out in the sim, where on a real watches, there's a 1-2 minute timeout where the glance/full screen widget will terminate. 
 using popview is a widget doesn't work. Long story, but the best way to do thing is to just not have onBack in a widget and let the default action to occur.
