Update refresh every time the app launch

Is it possible to forced update/refresh every time the app startup? Like an autorefresh every time the app is launch. Is there some code for doing that?

My coding is very dodgy so please backup your app before trying this: 1. Go to BT_base_activity.java.Expand by clicking on plus. 2. Find confirmRefresh().Click on it. 3. Where it says confirmRefreshAlert.show(); Replace it with refreshAppData(); 4. To change the loading text go to res>values>strings And find "loading title" string. Click on loading Title String. As I say, please make sure you can put your app to how it was before you try this.

That's android - have a look in your iOS folders for something very similar.

why you want to do that? you must consider that something like that will be very annoyed for your users . every time wait the app to refresh even it was not necessary . Buzztouch (i think you know it that allready) has by default the option that every time you make changes in your BT apps control panel and publish the changes , then next time user start you app in the phone the app will see that there are changes and will try to update

I'm not getting there. I switched the [modifiedAlert show]; by [refreshAppData self];. I changed the "CurrentMode": to "Live". but when I make a change in BT Apps control panel and publish changes, the app dont assumes the new change. I restart the app several times but nothing changes. Change only happens when I click on refresh. This app will likely have daily changes. I need to be sure and the user has the correct information. I think the [refreshAppData self] is not working well.

Any chance you could link to a webpage for the information that updates regularly until you can get this sorted?

In this case no. It is an image of a button on the homepage. this button has an image URL and needs to be changed daily. The app is not published is still under construction. But it is an aspect that is really important.
