The runtime lifecycle defines a common runtime
architecture that is the same for all apps. This makes mobile apps much easier
to design, and means that you don't have to worry about complex interactions
with the system; critical system interactions are already built into the
lifecycle.

Following are the events which used in order
while your application will move through.
| Event |
Object |
Method |
| Application launched. |
UiApplication |
main( String[] args ) |
| OS tells application to start. |
MainScreen |
activate() |
| Screen is pushed onto
stack. |
MainScreen |
onDisplay() |
| Screen about to be drawn. |
MainScreen |
onUiEngineAttached() |
| Menu or dialog is removed. |
MainScreen |
onExposed() |
| Screen is closed. |
MainScreen |
close() |

The BlackBerry Tablet OS is a multithreaded,
multitasking platform so it can run multiple applications at the same time.
While your application is running in the foreground, it is active. However, it
can be interrupted when another application opens and replaces yours as the
active application
These events can be fire into three main phases
in a BlackBerry application runtime life-cycle:
- Startup : startup is generally done
by one of the following three ways
- User clicks the application's icon on the home screen.
- Application is automatically started when device is turn on.
- The application is run by another application.
- Running
- Exiting
