Paused on Hold Mode

yubaro

Samsung always giving me a headache! 8-} :-))

Samsung rejects application by "Application is not paused on Hold mode"

Does anyone know how to make a pause when the device enters this state?

@r2rsawseen any idea?

Thanks!

Interesting
they are actually the best at testing usability. Apple published app, Google Play published app, but only on Samsung market they noticed there was a bug saving a highscore. Awesome people there

But to answer your question, listen to Event.APPLICATION_BACKGROUND and pause your game/show menu or something when it is dispatched

Do you get another event to say resumed?

@ar2rsawseen, thanks for your response!

You always extinguish the fire!

Now I'll try your suggestion!

@ar2rsawseen, actually Apple is interested in checking for malicious code (despite Flashlight apps that were more sinister), Google does not check at all (Maybe these days they might for malicious code) and yes I will agree with you Samsung have a very good checking system they even send you screenshots to explain the issue and provide feedback on the issue and how they came to that.

@SinisterSoft sure there is:
Event.APPLICATION_FOREGROUND

@OZApps thats true, but you would think larger corporations would dedicate more resources to keeping quality control

Oh I think OUYA also did a great job providing feedback on improvements, etc

I have tried this and not working.

self:addEventListener(Event.APPLICATION_BACKGROUND, self.onApplicationBackground, self)

also

self:addEventListener("applicationBackground", self.onApplicationBackground, self)

function nivelArcade:onApplicationBackground() print("nivelArcade - onApplicationBackground") self:openMenu() --> show menu paused all end

@ar2rsawseen, there is something wrong?

ar2rsawseen

hmm, then try Event.APPLICATION_SUSPEND
I always mix those two, one is when app loses focus, other when it is completely hidden

@ar2rsawseen , now if it works .... thanks again for all the great help!
