Requesting Run-In-Background feature.

Post by GozUer »

Hi 4144,
You might remember me from in-game PMs, i'm an Android TMW user, i like to use it when im away from home on a trip or in vacations... and i use mostly to talk with people.

I know its hard to do, but i really wanted to see this possible one day! Just wanted to let you know about this once again.

Using atm: ManaPlus 1.3.11.24 Android, SDL1.2
Device1: Samsung GT-S7562 / Android: 4.0.4
Device2: Alexis Tablet RX5DC / Android: 4.2.0

The Problem is, on the cell phone if we got or low battery warning, or incoming call or press the return button by mistake, the game closes and we have to log in again... its really annoying.

And Samsung has a problem with his keyboard--- this -> Link to keyboard photo

You see the gear and the microphone next to the "space"? if you accidentally press one of them, a sub-menu will appear and close the game =(
Tablet is just if you press back or go do anything else...

You think you can do it? I think other people might have this problem as well. We count on you!

Best of regards and sorry for all the reading!
Keep the good work! we love it!

...hope i'm in the right place :P

With SDL 1.2 i think this is impossible,
But you can try test build with SDL 2.

Thanks for the reply,

My "Google Play Store" auto updates my Android Client of Mana+, and it did not long ago, google play updates wont update client SDL version?
Anyways ive tried the SDL2 you gave me on my Samsung, and its unstable and unplayable, low FPS on mine 1Ghz Core o.o
and unstable because, well i think it worked i think the game remained open after i went to the main menu of the cell phone but when i return the screen gets black forever, and if i press around i can hear im attacking something... (pinkie :P) but the game wont show itself only sounds... and on the log in menu the windows get messed up and untouchable (sometimes)
SDL 1.2 is very stable btw...

I think i should let you know of this =)
Want me to try on my tablet or it wont make a difference?

Hahaha you da man!
Changing to Mobile openGL worked game is fast again
and i have to say that SDL 2 is lot lot better than SDL 1.2, nice job.
But im guessing, is this version yours? why "Google Play" didnt update it to SDL2? even tough it was making updates... =O everyone should have this version... is awesome.

In settings look in "theme" tab for "language"
