Event when application opens, activates

[rob.n]

Hi,

Ive been trying to listen for some sort of event as the application becomes active, initially loaded or when been "minimized" and reopened.

Should i listen for some like "activate" on Viewport or is there some other way?

The problem is that i cant seem to find a way to solve this.

I build my application using PhoneGap and the reason i want to do this is when a push notification arrives and the user clicks "View" i want to trigger some event.

Thanks!
Robert

Have you tried listening for the painted event? What made me understand the order of events was also to put this at key points in my js files:

console.log('Main View Loaded');

console.log('Main Controller Loaded');

so I could see in what order things were happening. Not sure if this works too well when using Phonegap though, I heard somewhere that it is hard to debug...

Hi digeridoopoo and thanks for your answer.

Been trying to catch the painted event as well without any luck.

When debugging using XCode when closing the app an event is triggered perhaps theres one when the app comes alive?

One solution might be to trigger the show event on all views and with that trying to guess if the application comes back from background...

Found the solution, Phonegap raises an "resume" event.
