How to test fast application switching in Mango?


I want to test out whether fast application switching is working in Mango. I start the app from the IDE, it kicks off the emulator. I then move away from the application (by clicking the Windows button on the emulator). Then I go back into the application from the phone.

However, the IDE loses connection to the emulator and I can't debug what happens when the app is reactivated.

Is there a way to do it?


Solution

  • My debug session seems to continue working. I started debugging an app, tap the start button on the emulator, which took me back to the start screen, then I hit the back button on the emulator, my app came back, and I hit a button where a break point was inserted, and I hit the break point. Is this the order you're doing things in with the emulator?

    Just to be sure, I just did the same with using tap/hold on the back button, and it worked as well.
