Running a tiggzi created app in background while using another and then pop after timeout

[jeff]

Hello,

Is there a way to start a tiggzi app, start it polling every x seconds with a timer. Then open up another app and use it. After the tiggzi app timesout it interupts the app that you are using and displays it's message or comes to the foreground?

IE: Start a tiggzi geoloaction app to poll for your location every 5 seconds to see if you are x distance away from a preset location. You start up the browser and start surfing. !0 minutes later you are with in the boundaries and the first app interrupts and displays a message stating that you are x distance away. Now you are back operating the tiggzi app.

How do you configurae the Tiggzi app to display overtop of the app that you are using so that you can start using the tigizi app?

Tiggzi is an app builder. When you create an app in Tiggzi, you create a standard mobile app (HTML/JS/CSS) or a PhoneGap app (http://phonegap.com). This means you can build any app that the browser will support. With PhoneGap, you can publish the app for iOS/Android and also get access to native device features.

To answer your question -- yes, most features that you describe can be implemented.

Thanks for the reply but how do you make an app automatically take the foreground or display on the screen when you are current working in another app.

I tried to use setTimeout. The timeout did work but it did not immediately display on the dispaly. I had to manually go back to the background app to see the alert message.

1) Start app click button and timer started

setTimeout(function(){
alert('Timer timed out');
}, 10);

2) Open up another app played with it for 30 sec. and alert never displayed.

3) Went back to the firsat app and alert message was there.

The alert never interrupted and showed the alert. How can I interrupt and show the alert while using another app?

I believe for mobile web apps, if you put the app in the background (the browser window), it stops "running".
