how to know the app is idling in the background?

Post by Jellobus » Tue Mar 29, 2016 12:52 pm

Hi all, :D

When I launch Twitter app from the current app, Twitter app pops up and the current app will be idling and running in the background. Is there any message sent when the app goes in the background?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Dixie,

"suspend" message only applies to window, mac and linux. Is there any message for the mobile environment? or any walkaround to know the app is running in the background?

Thanks,

Louis

Then you should load the question into the 'iOS Deployment' section... !?

Hi Dixie,

I will use "suspend" message when I develop app for desktop. I reposted on android deployment section. Thanks for your help!

Have a great day!

Louis
