Application suspension question

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hello,

I want to deal with application suspension issue in my app, for instance I want to make sure the app saves the hiScore and other game variables no matter what happen to the app ( for instance th user quit the app or receive a phone call). I found the code below (great Mobile Tuts) and was wondering this:

Do I need to put a similar code on each module (I am using Director) or can simply put that code in main? I think I will need to put that code on each module (menu, help, gameScreen,…) but I am not sure,

Thanks for any help.

[lua]----- main.lua -----
 
– hide the status bar
display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )
 
– setup a solid background
local background = display.newRect(0, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight)
background:setFillColor(191, 69, 66)
 
– create a function to handle all of the system events
local onSystem = function( event )
    if event.type == “applicationStart” then
        print(“start”)
    elseif event.type == “applicationExit” then
        print(“exit”)
    elseif event.type == “applicationSuspend” then
        print(“suspend”)
    elseif event.type == “applicationResume” then
        print(“resume”)
    end
end
 
– setup a system event listener

It has been a little since I’ve played with this but I believe it can’t be local if using Director.

You could test this quite easily using the simulator though, just put a print statement in Exit and then refresh sim from a different screen to where this code is.

Make sense?
