Is it possible to let Appery apps running in backgrond?

Hi,

Code: Select all

I'm writing an application that picks geographical positions and send it to a server using REST services. I would like to add a feature, so that if I suspend the application (using the home button), it continues  running in background, sending geographical positions to the server. Is it possible to be done? 

Thank you very much.

Appery.io app is just a standard jQuery Mobile app or a hybrid app with PhoneGap, see: http://docs.appery.io/getting-started.

I don't believe pure browsers app can run in the background. For hybrid PhoneGap app, it might support an event such as 'suspend'. Please check their docs.

Hi Max,

Code: Select all

You say that I must export the application to IOS or Android (hybrid app) and use PhoneGap  resources to suspend the application? 

Thank You

That's one option. You can also build a binary with Appery.io

Hello,

The link provided regarding the Pause event, states that it fires after the app runs into the background, not on the "ground".

https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...

What I need is an event that runs when the app goes/falls into the "Ground", is there such an event on PhoneGap?

Thank you,

Alberto da Silva
