# globalEvent 0.14

globalEvent are used to listen for persistent events, such as changes in positioning information, gyroscopes, and so on. A global event is a secondary API that requires additional APIs to work with.

# Built-in global events

You can specify the event name as WXApplicationDidBecomeActiveEvent or WXApplicationWillResignActiveEvent to obtain application becoming foreground or background, so that you can pause your video or music at this time.

var globalEvent = weex.requireModule('globalEvent');
globalEvent.addEventListener("WXApplicationDidBecomeActiveEvent", function (e) {
  console.log("WXApplicationDidBecomeActiveEvent");
});

• WXApplicationDidBecomeActiveEvent, fired while application did become foreground
• WXApplicationWillResignActiveEvent, fired while application will become background
