Question

I wrote a simple iPad app in Xcode 4. When I exit the app then go back into the app, it starts on the last page that I was at before exit. How do I have the app restart at a designated page at each restart?

Answer 1

Look in your AppDelegate.m file for the method applicationDidBecomeActive: (below). This gets called whenever your app becomes active – either through being launched or through being returned from the background. This is the event that you would use to restore the state of you app – but the specifics would depend on how your app is setup.

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
    // Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while 
    //the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background,
    //optionally refresh the user interface.
}
