I have an app on Amazons underground app store that pays developers 0.002 cents per minute the app is being played, see below;
Amazon determines app usage as the amount of time that an Android Activity for your app is open and running in the foreground of a mobile device. Amazon uses four standard Android lifecycle calls to determine when an Activity gains or loses focus and is in the foreground:
• onStart
• onPause
• onResume
• onStop
I used AppGameKit version 2.0.14b Tier1 to create my app.
Does anybody know if the activity log is created/maintained by the android operating system or does the app itself have to create the events to place in the activity log. If the app itself has to create these events, does anybody know is the AppGameKit package is handling these events because AppGameKit Tier 1 does not allow me to write these events.
I am asking this question because the Amazon Developers Portal shows that I have downloads but it says the app has been played for zero minutes. It might just be that Amazon takes a few days to compile the activity log data before it is displayed.
