android-app-pause

This library simulates Application-level onPause() and onResume() life cycle events. But, what does that actually mean? For the purposes of this library, the following definitions apply:

An app is considered to be paused when the app is no longer visible to the user. By definition, this means that when an app is paused, none of the Activitys that belong to the app are visible to the user.

Along similar lines,

An app is considered to be resumed when at least one Activity from the app is visible to the user.

##How to Use

android-app-pause is provided as an Android Library project. To use it, follow these steps:

1. Add android-app-pause as a dependent library to your Android Application Project.

• Extend AbstractAppPauseApplication and override the methods onAppPause() and onAppResume().
• For every Activity in your app:
  • Extend AbstractAppPauseActivity, instead of android.app.Activity.
  • (Optional): If you want device rotations to trigger app pauses, call setTreatRotationAsAppPause with a value of true.

Check out the sample project to see how it is used.

##New in v2.0 v1.0 of this library did not take into account the device rotations. Hence, when you rotated the device, onStop() would be called on all the activities, all clients would "un-bind", and your onAppPause() would be called followed by onAppResume().

v2.0 takes device rotations into account. By default, device rotations do not trigger app pause events. This behavior can be altered using the setTreatRotationAsAppPause(boolean) method.
