Restoring application state (on iPhone)

[Youval Bronicki]

Is there away to have PhoneGap iPhone applications restore their
state?

Since Safari does this for web applications, I am hopeful that this
should be feasible.

SQLLite an option maybe?

Hi Vidal,

SQLite is useful for the application to reload itself, but I'm
concerned about start-up time.

I was hoping to reduce the start-up time using whatever mechanism
Safari itself uses to reduce its own start-up time.

Thanks,

Youval

HTML database support? http://ajaxian.com/archives/html5-features-in-latest-iphone-application-cache-and-database
(requires iPhone 2.0 software or greater)

If Safari does this like Firefox then it just reloads the page from the server and re-populates the fields from a persistence storage. You'd probably have to handle that all yourself as I doubt the WebKit includes the same session management. Still, database, file, cookies.... there are several different ways to store data.

Although check the docs in your source code as they will be more up-to-date

You'll need to patch your source or ff on Nachoman's tree to get that.

Thanks ,everybody, for your feedback.

I was hoping to see something more immediate, as you see when you go
from Safari to the home screen and back to Safari.
Jeremy line of thought leads me to suspect that Safari simply keeps
running in memory (and that's a privilege that Apple applications have
over regular iPhone applications).
