resume

This is an event that fires when a Cordova application is retrieved from the background.

document.addEventListener("resume", yourCallbackFunction, false);

Details

Cordova consists of two code bases: native and JavaScript. While the native code pulls the application from the background the resume event is fired.

Typically, you will want to attach an event listener with document.addEventListener once you receive the Cordova 'deviceready' event.

Supported Platforms

  • Android
  • BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)
  • iOS
  • Windows Phone 7

Quick Example

document.addEventListener("resume", onResume, false);

function onResume() {
    // Handle the resume event
}
