SDL_OnApplic...terForeground(3)

💖 SDL_OnApplic...terForeground(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS section of the manual, and this one is literally named SDL_OnApplic...terForeground — yes the ellipsis is real, the page title got squished and we're just living with it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_OnApplicationDidEnterForeground — the little helper that lets iOS apps with their own external event handling report onApplicationDidBecomeActive. 🍓

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_system.h>

void SDL_OnApplicationDidEnterForeground(void);

no args, no return value, just vibes and a function call 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this function lets iOS apps that handle their own events hook into SDL so SDL can generate SDL events. it maps directly to an iOS-specific event — but plot twist — since it doesn't actually do anything iOS-specific internally, it's available on all platforms, in case it might be useful for some specific paradigm. iykyk 😌

heads up bestie: most apps do not need to use this directly. SDL's internal event code will handle all of this for windows created by SDL_CreateWindow! so like, if you're not doing the custom event handling thing, you can just close this tab fr fr 🙈

---

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

it is safe to call this function from any thread. go off, no cap 👑

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0. iconic behavior honestly 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie — slay, ate, no crumbs left. this cutie came to you from the fine folks behind Simple Directmedia Layer, documented as SDL 3.4.18. mwah 💖✨🎀
