Hi
In my application when open it first time i retrieve some data from server and display it. Now when i click escape on this screen i make the application to go background so that the application will be minimized and the homescreen will be shown.

But the problem is when i reopen again the application by clicking on the icon on the homescreen the i want to perform some function like calling the data from the server again. so how do i capture this event of reopening the application again. One way is i can make System.exit(0) when the escape key is pressed, but when i use this all my threads running in the background are destroyed so i cannot do this.

Is there any way how i can achieve this.

Thanks

Either I do not understand somethn' or you are not clear.
If "make the application to go background" means that it's still running
then it may keep status, which you can use with the second "start".
If the app was completely closed then it lost the retreived data.

You need to over ride the definition of activate on your class that extends UiApplication (or possibly Application):

public void activate()

    Handles foregrounding event.

    The system invokes this method when it brings this application to the foreground. By default, this method does nothing. Override this method to perform additional processing when being brought to the foreground.

Question remains "Is your app still running or not?"

The way I read this:

at least the OP intends that his application is still running. Giving the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you all for giving attention

Thanks hrbuckley, i override the activate method and now i can perform the functions. The app still runs and when i escape it then it goes to background and in the activate() method i hv added my function so that when the running app is opened again the method is called.

Thanks once again.
