      &lt;ion-side-menu-content&gt;
          &lt;ion-nav-bar class="bar-positive" align-title="center"&gt;
              &lt;ion-nav-back-button&gt;
              &lt;/ion-nav-back-button&gt;
  
              &lt;ion-nav-buttons side="left"&gt;
                  &lt;button class="button button-icon button-clear ion-navicon" menu-toggle="left"&gt;

                      &lt;i class="icon menu-icon ion-home"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
                      &lt;h2&gt;Hom&lt;/h2&gt;
                  &lt;/a&gt;

                      &lt;i class="icon menu-icon ion-android-list"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
                      &lt;h2&gt;Item 2&lt;/h2&gt;
                  &lt;/a&gt;
              &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/ion-content&gt;

  &lt;/ion-side-menus&gt;

  <p>As you can see im using the <code>menu-close</code> directive because i want the side menu to hide when i clicked on an item. The problem is that using this <code>menu-close</code> directive the state of the selected item is set to be the root. That means if i press the back button i wont get navigated back. </p>
  
  <p>How can i close the menu when i click on an item without setting the selected view to be the root of the state?</p>
