Activity_Pause/Resume events not firing?

[kanaida]

I'm not sure if i'm just not understanding something here but i'm just trying to do something simple. Store the scroll position of a list on Pause() and restore it on Resume() so that orientation changes etc.. don't reset it to position 0.

However when i look at the logs i see this:
[Common.java:151:Log()] ** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
[Common.java:151:Log()] ** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = false **
[Common.java:151:Log()] ** Activity (main) Resume **

but I set breakpoints on:

Sub Activity_Resume
sv.ScrollPosition = LastScrollPosition
End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
LastScrollPosition = sv.ScrollPosition
End Sub

The breakpoints never hit, the code isn't run at all. I'm running it in debug mode, not sure where i'm going wrong here...

Two things:
You need to store the scrollposition in a text file, because the variable will lose its value when the activity is removed from memory.
Breakpoints will not work in Activity_Pause, and neither will messageboxes. Use Log or ToastMessage.

I use StateManager to keep track of variables when my activities are paused/restarted. It works perfectly.

If it is just to ensure the scroll position is maintained when the device orientation changes then what you are doing is correct, as long as LastScrollPosition is a Global variable.

Thanks.

I stored it as a Process_Global. That should stay there as long as the app isn't killed.

I just loaded a bunch of thumbnails, saved em in a process_global along with the scroll position so that on activity create I don't reload everything unless I trigger it with a refresh button.
