Chartboost - Disable Pause Function?

[sanstarr]

hi there,
i use the chartboost plugin with the android exporter.
a few weeks ago my application does not paused, if displays an add.
but now - my application goes to "sleep / pause", when chartboost display commercials.
please help me to disable this "pause mode" - it's a timer in background, that stops working then.

thanks!!!

Would you be able to post an example file to see how you are doing it?

oh this is due to the latest changes they did, they are using now google play services lib, so when they are showing you the ads the application go to pause.

[sanstarr]

Ok :/ and there is nothing that i can do?

I will retest here but anything that trigger another activity is out of the scope of your game so it stop your game or app until it finish and return and give you the control again.

Ok, thats terrible.
Thanks for your fast Support / Reply!
And thanks for testing it again

I had noticed this as well. Before, it would resume the game automatically...

right now, unfortunately, it appears to be automatically pausing the application which is not ideal.

this is nothing related to Fusion Android Runtime, this is simple the way it is, when you run another activity on top of yours, yours go to pause. actually theses depends on Chartboost SDK, also AdMob and Leadbolt SDK. when you go to a browser URL and back

here is a link for you, which will clarify more what I mentioned above.

Yes it does this for all ad networks on android, i think it also did this on the previous version? but i have been updating the sdk manually, so that could be why. I think it's usually convenient, if you need the timer to keep running behind video/fullscreen ads, i would change it to use the time and date object.
