Handling suspend, resume, and activation in windows 10 UWP

Question

In the windows 8.1 universal apps, the suspend/resume modes were handled using the NavigationHelper.cs ans SuspensionManager.cs classes included in the APP template. These classes doesn't seem to be there in the windows 10 UWP apps. Is there a way by which we can handle the suspend/resume states?

Answer 1

There's an interesting framework being developed by the community (but mostly I think Jerry Nixon, Andy Wigley etc.) called Template10. Template10 has a Bootstrapper class with OnSuspending and OnResuming virtual methods that you can override. I am not sure that there's an exact example of doing suspension/resuming yet with Template10, but the idea seems to be to make App.xaml.cs inherit from this Bootstrapper class so you can easily override the methods I mentioned.

sealed partial class App : Common.BootStrapper
{
    public App()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.SplashFactory = (e) => null;
    }

    public override Task OnStartAsync(StartKind startKind, IActivatedEventArgs args)
    {
        // start the user experience
        NavigationService.Navigate(typeof(Views.MainPage), "123");
        return Task.FromResult<object>(null);
    }

    public override Task OnSuspendingAsync(object s, SuspendingEventArgs e)
    {
        // handle suspending
    }

    public override void OnResuming(object s, object e)
    {
        // handle resuming
    }
}
