Phonegap: Calling an action when an app is opened after clicking the home button (iOS)

I have an app that's making calls to my server.

When I press the home button and then reopen the app, I'd like it to check the server again.

I've tried the code below but the onResume doesn't seem to even run.

// Wait for device API libraries to load
//
function onLoad() {
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}

// device APIs are available
//
function onDeviceReady() {
    document.addEventListener("resume", onResume, false);
}

// Handle the resume event
//
function onResume() {
    // Call to the server
}
Solution

  • I ended up finding success using

    document.addEventListener("resume", function() {
    // Action when resumed
});

    and it worked perfectly!
