I've surveyed most of the questions on the web but this still gets me confused....
My question is, how to detect hide/leave event of a website tab in mobile phone browser, my situation is NOT about closing the tab(like pressing the X button at the up-right or up-left corner), and also NOT about closing the whole mobile browser app directly.
(Previously, I have a webpage with a websocket connected to receive the encoded audio content, and then use AudioContext to play the sound)
Below are the two situations I've encountered.
When I press the HOME button and the mobile browser app hides.
When I click a url in the Messenger app or Facebook app of my iPhone, and press the Back button to go back.
the url link is opened in the in-app browser which made by Facebook directly, and when I press the back button on the left-up corner, the view jumps back to the Messenger window or the Facebook timeline.
In these two cases, I have listened beforeunload (and also pagehide event for iOS), but neither one is catched. And I have found that the websocket connection is still connecting and the audio is still playing. It seems like the whole page is still running somewhere(but you cannot see). I also tried listening to a div :visible, but it is still giving me true when I pressed the home button or leave the facebook in-app browser.
Is there still any way to detect these two kinds of situation? I want to turn off the streaming sound and also close the websocket connection.
