"App is Running in Background" Action ![SOLVED]

[Loganou974]

Hi there !

We're currently making this tamagotchi-like game and i was unable to find an action that can inform if the App is Running in Background or Not. See i need to know whenever the player decides to put the game in standby.

Can anybody help me with this ? I really think this action (or similar) would be useful for those who design games for iOS /Android !

Hi,

 you need to listen to the system event "APPLICATION FOCUS" and or "APPLICATION PAUSE"

Thanks for the support, i'll try this out right now !

EDIT : I feel ridiculous for having forgotten these useful system events... Seems to work perfectly fine now ! Thanks a lot !
