You all might know that iOS takes a screen shot of your application before throwing it into the background. This is usually for a better User experience like quick animation
Implementation with some animation while going in background and reverse action
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
// fill screen with our own colour
UIView *colourView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:self.window.frame];
colourView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
colourView.tag = 1111;
colourView.alpha = 0;
[self.window addSubview:colourView];
[self.window bringSubviewToFront:colourView];
// fade in the view
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
colourView.alpha = 1;
}];
}
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
// grab a reference to our coloured view
UIView *colourView = [self.window viewWithTag:1111];
// fade away colour view from main view
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.5 animations:^{
colourView.alpha = 0;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
// remove when finished fading
[colourView removeFromSuperview];
}];
}
