appActive event for phonegap-iphone
// insert this into your AppDelegate.m file
// this will fire an "appActive" event on the webview every time the app is launched
// whether through fast-app switching or a cold launch
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {
// delay of 1ms ensures code will be executed in new stack trace
// that way, event listener can't block applicationDidBecomeActive
// and crash the app
NSString *fireActiveEvent = @"window.setTimeout(function() { \n"
"var appActive = document.createEvent('Events'); \n"
"appActive.initEvent('appActive'); \n"
"document.dispatchEvent(appActive); \n"
"}, 1);";
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:fireActiveEvent];

I agree, this should totally be in PhoneGap by default! Why isn't it yet? :)

Any tips on how I can accomplish the same as the above gist on Android? I'm not that good with Java :P

EDIT: Figured it out: https://gist.github.com/9de0b38205ee62b43dfe
