Using the provided AppLifeCycleObserver shown below, you can ensure that LifecycleTransitionType.BACKGROUND_TO_FOREGROUND is triggered exclusively when the app transitions from the background to the foreground within the specific fragment where the observer is initialized. I want the observer to remain silent when you navigate to another fragment or open a new activity, ensuring that the observer's callback is invoked only for the intended transition from background to foreground within the fragment.
// Define an enumeration for different lifecycle transition types
enum class LifecycleTransitionType {
FOREGROUND, // Represents when the application or fragment is in the foreground
BACKGROUND, // Represents when the application or fragment is in the background
BACKGROUND_TO_FOREGROUND // Represents the transition from background to foreground
}
// Create an AppLifeCycleObserver with a callback for handling lifecycle transitions
class AppLifeCycleObserver(private val listener: (LifecycleTransitionType) -> Unit) : DefaultLifecycleObserver {
private var isApplicationInForeground = false
private var isScreenInForeground = false
private var previousState: LifecycleTransitionType? = null
override fun onStart(owner: LifecycleOwner) {
isScreenInForeground = true
if (!isApplicationInForeground) {
isApplicationInForeground = true
// Notify the listener about the transition type based on the previous state
if (previousState == LifecycleTransitionType.BACKGROUND) {
listener(LifecycleTransitionType.BACKGROUND_TO_FOREGROUND)
} else {
listener(LifecycleTransitionType.FOREGROUND)
}
previousState = LifecycleTransitionType.FOREGROUND
}
super.onStart(owner)
}
override fun onStop(owner: LifecycleOwner) {
isScreenInForeground = false
previousState = LifecycleTransitionType.BACKGROUND
isApplicationInForeground = false
super.onStop(owner)
}
}
In the fragment:
// Define the AppLifeCycleObserver with a callback to handle transitions
val appLifecycleObserver = AppLifeCycleObserver { transitionType ->
when (transitionType) {
LifecycleTransitionType.BACKGROUND_TO_FOREGROUND -> {
// Handle background-to-foreground transition here, specific to your fragment
// You can put your logic to react to this transition
}
else -> {
// Handle other lifecycle transitions if needed
}
}
}
// Attach the observer to the fragment's lifecycle
lifecycle.addObserver(appLifecycleObserver)
How can I refrain the observer from being called when a new activity or a fragment is opened?
