How to know when an app is maximized?, I need to refresh npc positions after maximize. (iOS / Android)

I've tried to find a solution catching or delegating onResume() event [Android]. No way.
And I don't find a function in EE to know when user resumes the game.

Some advice plz?

Hi, i don't know if Android call the Update function when an application is minimized but i have think of something like that.

Code:

clock_t update_position_time;

Bool Update()

{

    if (static_cast<double>(clock() - update_position_time) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC > 1)

    {

        // Update position.

    }

    update_position_time = clock();

    return true;

}

Basicaly update the position if the application has not been updated for one second. Probably not a good way, but it could be a workaround.

- Npc positions are controlled by server.
- Android and iOS don't call nothing when application is in background (that's why I need refresh positions after resume).
- Not a good way, and not safe, there are several situations where something can delay the game more than 1 second without minimize.
- I will need to know it for more things like refresh ads and other things.

For android, esenthel uses NativeActivity and android_native_app_glue which send this event for sure...

I'll add following callbacks to Application class
void (*paused )( ); // pointer to custom function called when application is being paused (lost focus), this function is used only on mobile platforms, default=NULL
void (*resumed )( ); // pointer to custom function called when application is being resumed (gained focus), this function is used only on mobile platforms, default=NULL
