Hi. i am developing a financial application. i want to add time out thing after 15 min. but how can i detect that the UI is ketp idle that is no action has been taken.

please if any one has any idea let me know.

What are you timing out from and what action do you want to take when the timer goes off?

[amit.prabhat]

its like timout or as in a web application we have session invalidation

umm.. don't have an exact or good answer for ur query, but here's something that we can use....

After a screen is rendered, suspend painting and note the time or start timer.
When a key is fired and paint is called.. check if painting suspended. If suspended, calculate the time from when it was suspended and compare with the timeout duration. You may resume painting if timeout is not exceeded.

I think this suspend-resume and checking isSuspended etc. can be checked with listener too..

am not sure if this works...Just knew the APIs so thought of this.
isSuspended, suspendPainting etc. are available in UIApplication.

Will let u know if i have a cleaner way to do this

How about DeviceInfo.getIdleTime() ??

Returns the number of seconds since the last key or trackball event.

Yes, getIdleTime is a lot better !!
