Idle Status

Why idle?: Some apps require your constant attention. Such apps often include games, media players, anything that is CPU/battery intensive, and so on. For these kinds of apps, it may be important (as well as user-friendly) to do something when a user is no longer actively interacting with your app.

To control idle status for current client use - Session.get('UserStatusIdle').
