Hello... I am wondering if I am the only one having this issue or not. After hitting the home button on any android device (and emulated devices too) I am getting only a black screen upon resuming. It does not seem to be just my app, but other example apps that I have tested as well for tier 1 (been messing with this all day and have found nothing on the forums that explains it).

I am not broadcasting because I want my experience to be as close to the user experience as possible (I learned the hard way a few years ago with my first app, I don't trust "middle men" anymore LOL). I am exporting an APK and running these examples on an android 4.0 device, a 4.4 device, and various others from 3.2 up to 5.0 on the emulators.

Any hints?

Thanks!

I have same issue when the app is resuming.

I tried this example. http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Core/GetResumed.htm

Scenario)
1. Run GetResumed example in Android device w/o AGP player.
2. Press Home button
3. Restart the testing app

Result)
I can see only the (R=50,G=50,B=100) coloring screen. I cannot see any virtual buttons and the green cross image. The app is not response anymore.

I tried this example on my three android devices.
But the results are same.

This issue is occured from official AppGameKit player also.
I just ran AppGameKit player w/o any broadcasting and debugging on Android device.
I pressed home button and tried resuming.
There was only black screen w/o anything.
It was not response anymore.
There was need to force close the AppGameKit player.

In case you missed it, it looks like this may have been fixed in the most recent update 2.0.13:
