Events

logMessageReceivedEvent that is fired if a log message is received.
logMessageReceivedThreadedEvent that is fired if a log message is received.
lowMemoryThis event occurs when an iOS, Android, or Tizen device notifies of low memory while the app is running in the foreground. You can release non-critical assets from memory (such as, textures or audio clips) in response to this in order to avoid the app being terminated. You can also load smaller versions of such assets. Furthermore, you should serialize any transient data to permanent storage to avoid data loss if the app is terminated.This event corresponds to the following callbacks on the different platforms: - iOS: [UIApplicationDelegate applicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning] - Android: onLowMemory() and onTrimMemory(level == TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL) - Tizen: ui_app_add_event_handler with type APP_EVENT_LOW_MEMORYHere is an example of handling the callback:
onBeforeRenderDelegate method used to register for "Just Before Render" input updates for VR devices.

Delegates

AdvertisingIdentifierCallbackDelegate method for fetching advertising ID.
LogCallbackUse this delegate type with Application.logMessageReceived or Application.logMessageReceivedThreaded to monitor what gets logged.
LowMemoryCallbackThis is the delegate function when a mobile device notifies of low memory.
