Can only speak for iOS. Pause which corresponds to system event UIApplicationDidEnterBackgroundNotification: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVViewController.m#L896-L900
Resume which corresponds to system event UIApplicationWillEnterForegroundNotification: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVViewController.m#L879-L883 Here's more info on the app states on iOS (see Moving to the Background section): http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneosprogrammingguide/ManagingYourApplicationsFlow/ManagingYourApplicationsFlow.html My blog post (note we don't support iOS 4 anymore, but there are some interesting tidbits): http://shazronatadobe.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/apache-cordova-lifecycle-events-in-ios-4-versus-ios-5/ On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 9:54 AM, Michael Sierra <[email protected]> wrote: > (Retitled the thread to narrow this issue.) > > Would an app typically be paused by the device platform as it anticipates > it's about to die for lack of battery? > > Also, please confirm pause/resume necessarily applies only when execution > of an application is actually suspended, not when it's somehow running in > the background in some minified way as was the case on meego.
