Android: “Application level” Pause and Resume [closed]

Answer 1

Another solution to the problem would be to just keep track of the count of onStart() and onStop() calls from every activity. Example:

First, create a class to hold the counts:

public class ActiveActivitiesTracker {
    private static int sActiveActivities = 0;

    public static void activityStarted()
    {
        if( sActiveActivities == 0 )
        {
            // TODO: Here is presumably "application level" resume
        }
        sActiveActivities++;
    }

    public static void activityStopped()
    {
        sActiveActivities--;
        if( sActiveActivities == 0 )
        {
            // TODO: Here is presumably "application level" pause
        }
    }
}

Then in every activity, simply call the activityStarted() and activityStopped() methods:

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    ActiveActivitiesTracker.activityStarted();
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    ActiveActivitiesTracker.activityStopped();
}
