• Here are some useful application events that you can listen to against Titanium.App:

  • pause: fired when the phone is interrupted (as in an incoming phone call)
  • resume: fired when the phone resumes after an interruption. note, you will only get this event if the app is restarted from a pause
  • close: fired when the app is shutting down to allow you to save state etc.

  For startup, just do something in your app.js since that's startup.

• This doesn't appear to fire, at least not in the iPhone simulator:

  Ti.App.addEventListener('close',function() {
      Ti.API.info("save active tab: " + tabGroup.activeTab);
      Ti.App.Properties.setInt('activeTab',tabGroup.activeTab);
  });
  

• Nice… this is very helpful…

  Did I miss this in the online docs, or has this part of the documentation just not been ported over yet?

• It seems something changed on OS4, I can't get the startup events just adding on app.js

  It seems to be something about the new Multi-task feature, so now I can't figure out a way to use the getArguments() to retrieve data from Safari when using Custom URL Schemas.

  The 'resume' event works, but I can't retrieve the data with getArguments().

• I wanted to do a follow up on the status of the startup and the shut down events. I want to do some general housekeeping events on startup, like downloading a config file from the internet to refresh some content. Perhaps even download some pictures. So I am looking for a good spot to have some directory synch logic. Perhaps a manifeast file that compares file dates, and uploads the newest files? could I get some heads up on that. It also needs to run on iPhone and Android.

• I have a similar question that I already asked here… http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/68121/on-startup-if-i-wanted-to-dl-some-config-data

  sorry about the double post.

  This question is 7 months old… are there any updates I should know about?
