App not in foreground

[Nicholas Martin]

I was wondering if there was a trigger to check if the app is in foreground or not for droid/ios? I want to send data to a server with the get object when the app is minimized, and then again when it has focus. Does anyone know how, or if this is possible? So far I got it to work when the app starts, and when it ends.

Not as far as I know. In my opinion this is a much needed feature, what if the user receives a phone call at a crucial moment in your game, and then returns to the game only to lose immediately? Our apps should be able to pause themselves automatically in events such as these!

please to do so you need to add read_phone_state permission and it should be take care by OS

remember if you expect this to happens uncheck "end when not in froeground" since this is the true behavior for phones

and of course take care of the exit process via buttons

What they are referring to is an event to detect this, i believe the admob object has this condition "on leave application" which should work.
It would be great if the regular android object had these two conditions: "on application deactivated" and "on application reactivated", would that be possible?

The ios object already have these two conditions.

It would be great for a few things:
- to make a manual pause button, so the user can click "resume" without jumping straight into the action unprepared when there is an interruption.
- save and load certain values on a server with the get object, as op requested.
- disconnect/reconnect from multiplayer games, (or set status to away etc).
