With the advent of Google's Digital Wellbeing , it became possible to better manage your time spent on your device. This is especially true if you happen to have a codependent relationship with that phone.
One way to break that chain of dependency is with the app pausing feature. Originally, this feature allowed you to set timers for apps such that, once you used the app for the allotted time, the app launcher would become unusable.
With Android 9 , the pause feature added an on-demand functionality. This new means of pausing apps put the user in control of when an app is paused.
Once an app is paused, it'll then be unavailable for the rest of the day sort of. But how do you use this on-demand pause feature? It's actually incredibly simple. I'm going to demonstrate with Android 10 on a Google Pixel 4.
So long as you have Android 9 or newer, this should work in the same way. To pause an app, long press the app launcher in question and then tap Pause App. During normal app use, the foreground activity is sometimes obstructed by other visual components that cause the activity to pause. For example, when a semi-transparent activity opens such as one in the style of a dialog , the previous activity pauses. As long as the activity is still partially visible but currently not the activity in focus, it remains paused.
However, once the activity is fully-obstructed and not visible, it stops which is discussed in the next lesson.
As your activity enters the paused state, the system calls the onPause method on your Activity , which allows you to stop ongoing actions that should not continue while paused such as a video or persist any information that should be permanently saved in case the user continues to leave your app.
If the user returns to your activity from the paused state, the system resumes it and calls the onResume method. Note: When your activity receives a call to onPause , it may be an indication that the activity will be paused for a moment and the user may return focus to your activity.
However, it's usually the first indication that the user is leaving your activity. Figure 1. When a semi-transparent activity obscures your activity, the system calls onPause and the activity waits in the Paused state 1. If the user returns to the activity while it's still paused, the system calls onResume 2. When the system calls onPause for your activity, it technically means your activity is still partially visible, but most often is an indication that the user is leaving the activity and it will soon enter the Stopped state.
You should usually use the onPause callback to:. For example, if your application uses the Camera , the onPause method is a good place to release it. Generally, you should not use onPause to store user changes such as personal information entered into a form to permanent storage.
The only time you should persist user changes to permanent storage within onPause is when you're certain users expect the changes to be auto-saved such as when drafting an email. However, you should avoid performing CPU-intensive work during onPause , such as writing to a database, because it can slow the visible transition to the next activity you should instead perform heavy-load shutdown operations during onStop.
You should keep the amount of operations done in the onPause method relatively simple in order to allow for a speedy transition to the user's next destination if your activity is actually being stopped.
Note: When your activity is paused, the Activity instance is kept resident in memory and is recalled when the activity resumes. When the user resumes your activity from the Paused state, the system calls the onResume method. Be aware that the system calls this method every time your activity comes into the foreground, including when it's created for the first time. As such, you should implement onResume to initialize components that you release during onPause and perform any other initializations that must occur each time the activity enters the Resumed state such as begin animations and initialize components only used while the activity has user focus.
The following example of onResume is the counterpart to the onPause example above, so it initializes the camera that's released when the activity pauses. About Android Legal Support.
