// The first event that a Starboard application receives is Start
// (kSbEventTypeStart). This puts the application in the |STARTED| state.
// The application is in the foreground and can expect to do all of the normal
// things it might want to do. Once in the |STARTED| state, it may receive a
// |Pause| event, putting the application into the |PAUSED| state.
//
// In the |PAUSED| state, the application is still visible, but has lost
// focus, or it is partially obscured by a modal dialog, or it is on its way
// to being shut down. The application should pause activity in this state.
// In this state, it can receive |Unpause| to be brought back to the foreground
// state (|STARTED|), or |Suspend| to be pushed further in the background
// to the |SUSPENDED| state.
//
// In the |SUSPENDED| state, the application is generally not visible. It
// should immediately release all graphics and video resources, and shut down
// all background activity (timers, rendering, etc). Additionally, the
// application should flush storage to ensure that if the application is
// killed, the storage will be up-to-date. The application may be killed at
// this point, but will ideally receive a |Stop| event for a more graceful
// shutdown.
//
// Note that the application is always expected to transition through |PAUSED|
// to |SUSPENDED| before receiving |Stop| or being killed.

  // should perform initialization and prepare to react to subsequent events.

  // SbEventStartData is passed as the data argument.
  kSbEventTypeStart,

  // A dialog will be raised or the application will otherwise be put into a

  // received after a Start event. The only events that should be dispatched
  // after a Pause event are Unpause or Suspend. No data argument.

  // put in the PAUSED (e.g. partially-obscured) state. The application should
  // unpause foreground activity like animations and video playback. Can only be
  // received after a Pause or Resume event. No data argument.
  kSbEventTypeUnpause,

  // The operating system will put the application into a Suspended state after
  // this event is handled. The application is expected to stop periodic
  // background work, release ALL graphics and video resources, and flush any
  // pending SbStorage writes. Some platforms will terminate the application if
  // work is done or resources are retained after suspension. Can only be
  // received after a Pause event. The only events that should be dispatched
  // after a Suspend event are Resume or Stop. On some platforms, the process
  // may also be killed after Suspend without a Stop event. No data argument.
  kSbEventTypeSuspend,

  // The operating system has restored the application to the PAUSED state from
  // the SUSPENDED state. This is the first event the application will receive
  // coming out of SUSPENDED, and it will only be received after a Suspend
  // event. The application will now be in the PAUSED state. No data argument.
  kSbEventTypeResume,

  // The operating system will shut the application down entirely after this
  // event is handled. Can only be recieved after a Suspend event, in the
  // SUSPENDED state. No data argument.

  // current user changed. No data argument, call SbUserGetSignedIn() and
  // SbUserGetCurrent() to get the latest changes.

  // consider handling it by navigating to the corresponding application
  // location. The data argument is an application-specific, null-terminated
  // string.

  // timing-sensitive, so as little work as possible should be done on the main
  // thread if the application wants to receive this event in a timely manner.
  // No data argument.
  kSbEventTypeVerticalSync,

  // The platform has detected a network disconnection. The platform should make
  // a best effort to send an event of this type when the network disconnects,
  // but there are likely to be cases where the platform cannot detect the
  // disconnection (e.g. if the connection is via a powered hub which becomes
  // disconnected), so the current network state cannot always be inferred from
  // the sequence of Connect/Disconnect events.
  kSbEventTypeNetworkDisconnect,

  // The platform has detected a network connection. This event may be sent at
  // application start-up, and should always be sent if the network reconnects
  // since a disconnection event was sent.
  kSbEventTypeNetworkConnect,

  // An event type reserved for scheduled callbacks. It will only be sent in
  // response to an application call to SbEventSchedule(), and it will call the
  // callback directly, so SbEventHandle should never receive this event
