Is there any possible way to have my app refresh every time, even though there is not any changes in the app's control panel? I need this because the only way to get the full screen ad to pop up on my home screen is when the app refreshes. I already have auto refresh on, but it only refreshes when I make a change in the app's control panel.

I don't know 'how much longer' this will be valid for Android, but placing: refreshAppData(); in a strategic part of your app, for example, towards the end of the 'OnStart' method of your BT_activity.java file should do the trick. With respect to Xcode, You can tell it to: [self downloadAppData]; After it does that, it will populate throughout the app, as if you hit the refresh button. Put it somewhere relative as well... perhaps at the end of "applicationDidBecomeActive" in the xxxx_appDelegate.m file You may have to play around with these; placements are a guess, although those should be the correct methods.

Do you think it is possible? Comments @SmugWimp This is an iOS app. I need to find out a way to auto refresh when the app opens every time, even if there are changes or not?

bfoutty Code is Art Posts: 185 Reg: Jun 12, 2011 Youngstown, OH 12,650	01/05/14 11:39 AM (9 years ago) I am updating my app with BT v3.0 core and I still want to automatic app refresh that Thomas Boyd wrote about. We now have to update the code for the 3.0 core. The BT 1.5 and 2.0 core code changes of [modifiedAlert show] to [self downloadAppData] now needs to be changed on line 423 from [modifiedAlert show] to [self refreshAppData] It is working for me. Let me know if anyone sees a problem with this. Thanks. Comments I am updating my app with BT v3.0 core and I still want to automatic app refresh that Thomas Boyd wrote about.
