Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like figure 1 As shown, an embodiment provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0022] A static variable currTaskID is set in the device memory. For example, when the mobile terminal is powered on, the static variable is initialized to "home" or other window identifiers, and a temporary variable tempTaskID is required.

[0023] Step S1, when the mobile terminal needs to switch to another task when executing a certain task, the user presses a function key. For example, naming the function key as the return key.

[0024] In step S2, the identification of the foreground task is recorded in the temporary variable tempTaskID.

[0025] Step S3, the task indicated by currTaskID is placed in the foreground through an application programming interface API (Application Programming Interface).

[0026] Step S4, assign the identifier in t...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for managing multiple tasks, which comprises the following steps that: a first static variable is set, a foreground task is required to be switch to a background, an identifier of the foreground task is assigned into the first static variable; and when the background task is required to switch back, the task indicated by the first static variable is called as the foreground task through an application program interface (API) interface. The device comprises a variable storage module, a foreground task switch-out module and a background task switch-back module. The embodiment of the invention also provides a mobile terminal comprising the device. Through the embodiments, the problems that the switching time among mobile terminals is long and the operation of the user is complicated can be solved.
