Hello Everyone

I have an application with user interface and it implements PhoneListener. I want to run that application in the background and bring in front when user selects from the icon or from swtich tab.

How do I achive this?

Thanks

So your class looks like the following?

public class MyClass extends UiApplication implements PhoneListener

That should be all you need to do what you're describing. Unless I'm missing something...

Thanks for the input zechariahs.

I know how to implement PhoneListener. I want to run the application in the background and bring to front when user selects the icon or from swtich tab.

Try this How To - Setup an alternate entry point for my application.

Alternate Entry Points can be used to launch the user interface (UI) component of the auto-started application when the user selects the icon from the ribbon.

Thanks zechariahs.

I understand what is explained in the document. But, what do I need to do from application getting closed using "Close" menu.

Thanks

From a user perspective, I would be pretty ticked if I couldn't close an application if I wanted to. Personally, I would override the onClose() method to prompt the user: "Are you sure you want to close? Yes | No | Cancel."

Also, if you really want to prevent the user from closing the application, override the onClose method to always return false.

Thanks zechariahs.

Thats what I did.

To put an application in the background call Application.requestBackground(), possibly as mentioned in the onClose() method.

Hi pravi

You just need to override the onClose() method for doing that, as mentioned above.
