[maemo-developers] RE: How to catch “lock screen event”?

[From: Xin Zhang]

Hi Eero,

You said “Your window loses focus and it isn't anymore the topmost window.”

Do you mean the use of “SDL_ACTIVEEVENT”? I can get an “SDL_ACTIVEEVENT” event if I get an incoming call while playing the game. However, I don't get the “SDL_ACTIVEEVENT” event if I lock the screen using the lock screen switch, or even the screen gets locked automatically, after idling for 30 secs. Is there a firmware update addressing this? I wonder if there's a way doing this without dbus...

Thanks & best regards,
Zhang Xin

Therefore, the game is still active running even screen is locked. I hope I can catch these system events and make the game paused. Could anyone give me some direction in fixing the problem?

Your window loses focus and it isn't anymore the topmost window.
When the screen is blanked, there's additionally also a D-BUS message.
