I am having a application in cocos2d-x. I want my application should run always until manually stops. But while enters into the background it got paused and when return back it resumes. I removed the codes 

CCDirector::sharedDirector()->pause();
CCDirector::sharedDirector()->resume();

from Appdelegate.cpp functions (applicationDidEnterBackground() and applicationDidEnterForeground()). But still my application got pause while enter into background.I want my application should pause only when i got a phone call or manually i pause my application, until or unless it should run in the background. Please me to solve this.

Here is what happens when your app goes to background

class name >>> Cocos2dxActivity.java

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    Cocos2dxHelper.onPause();
    this.mGLSurfaceView.onPause();
}

I think the code is self explanatory,i.e, it is pausing your app when it enters background (the whole purpose of onPause) and the ApplicationDelegate methods you mentioned are just JNI functions called when the activity goes to background/foreground so that you can do game related stuff there. As you may know that CCDirector's pause only pauses the running scene (scheduled timers) and changes the draw rate to 4 FPS to reduce CPU consumption.

So, removing pause/resume calls to CCDirector in Appdelegate will not help achieve those goals. For that you have to override the method and related methods I mentioned above and stop the activity from pausing.

  • Check your AppController.mm file, from there the calls are made to the AppDelegate.cpp file. – Syed Mauze Rehan May 28 '14 at 07:07

  • thanks for your comment, but that's not my concept.I want my application should run while the device is locked. – socrates May 28 '14 at 13:06
  • Yes I know, I was mentioning the last comment which says not to deactivate your audio session, may be this is what you are looking for. – Syed Mauze Rehan May 28 '14 at 13:18
