• Is there any conclusion on this topic? I've just hit it: I need to run some function when the app starts and when the app closes. I assume I should be able to catch these app-level events somehow. However, when I add the following lines I see that only 'pause' and 'resume' work:

  Titanium.App.addEventListener('open', function (e) {
      Ti.API.info('app.js: Open event on '+Ti.Platform.osname);
  });        
  Titanium.App.addEventListener('close', function (e) {
      Ti.API.info('app.js: Close event on '+Ti.Platform.osname);
  });        
  Titanium.App.addEventListener('pause', function (e) {
      Ti.API.info('app.js: Pause event on '+Ti.Platform.osname);
  });        
  Titanium.App.addEventListener('resume', function (e) {
      Ti.API.info('app.js: Resume event on '+Ti.Platform.osname);
  });
  

  I see only pause and resume events are fired.

• Hey, you have to put the open/close listeners on your main window…

  var main_window = Ti.UI.createWindow();
  main_window.open();
  main_window.addEventListener('open', function(e){ ... });
  

• You don't need the "open" event. Just put your code in app.js which is interpreted only once.

• Events for each object is in the API documentation under the event section.

  For example, for mobile window object events see: http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest/Titanium.UI.Window-object
