PhoneGap keep running on Android after onPause

Question

I decided to test if phonegap WebView is live when app is in a background.

function test2(x){
    $(\'
\', {text: x.cmd}).appendTo($(\'         


        

Answer 1

I am late with response. In phonegap there is KeepRunning param in config.xml

You must add following line to config.xml

<platform name="android">
    ...
    <preference name="KeepRunning" value="false" />

It will call pauseTimers() and pause all WebViews. pauseTimers() is not hidden method and no reflection is needed.

Answer 2

This should help: WebView threads never stop (WebViewCoreThread, CookieSyncManager, http[0-3])

Basically you have to use reflection to access the WebView's onPause/onResume methods to really make it pause and resume.
