If your visualforce page has a custom controller you can specify the page redirect in your Save method, eg

public pagereference mysave() {
     try{
      //save your record
       
     }catch(DmlException ex){
   ApexPages.addMessages(ex);
 
     }      
    
return new pagereference('/'+record.Id);
}

This kind of redirecting is not working for Salesforce Mobile. I have tried out. Mobile VF Page is diffrent.

Thanks,

Apologies, I missed the moile bit. Can you post a copy of your code that contains the javascript function mobileforce.device.close()?
Have you used your browsers debug tool to look for any javascript errors?

Below is the VF Page. No option is working.



<apex:page >
<apex:form >
<html>
<head>

    <script type="application/x-javascript" src="http://na1.salesforce.com/mobileclient/api/mobileforce.js"></script>
    <script>
    function doClose() {
        mobileforce.device.close();
            return false;
    }
       
    </script>
</head>
<body>
        <a href="mobileforce:///close">HTML close</a><br/>
        <br/>
        <br/>
        <a href="#" onclick="return doClose();">JS close</a><br/>
        <br/>
        <br/>
        <apex:commandButton value="Click"  onclick="return doClose();" />
   
</body>
</html>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
