App Lifecycle Demo App

Medium post is here: http://proandroiddev.com/react-to-app-foreground-and-background-events-with-processlifecycleowner-96278e5816fa

Summary

This project demonstrates using the new ProcessLifecycleOwner (bundled with Lifecycle Architecture Components) to react to foreground and background events.

ProcessLifecycleOwner provides lifecycle for the whole application process. For more details, see my post on Medium.

Use Cases

App is foregrounded. ProcessLifecycleOwner notifies the LifecycleObserver of Lifecycle.Event.ON_START

App is backgrounded. ProcessLifecycleOwner notifies the LifecycleObserver of Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP
