Stopping sketch from restarting when keyboard's open?

in Android Processing • 1 year ago

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a game using Processing, and I've run into a small issue. For devices with physical keyboards, like the Motorola Droid, the sketch resets whenever the keyboard is slid out. It seems there's a way to circumvent this when developing in the traditional way, but I can't seem to find it in Android Processing. Could anyone point me in the correct direction? I'd really appreciate it.

Edit your AndroidManifest.xml file, and replace line:

<activity android:name="">

with this:

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden" android:name="">

and if you want to remove orientation reseting too, use this:

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" android:name="">

or if you want to force use landscape mode, use:

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation" android:screenOrientation="landscape" android:name="">

And of course you can give name for your activity.

Edit:

Forget this... sorry.

You also need to add these lines of code into your sketch:

import android.content.res.Configuration;
// This fixes the orientation bug, that restarts or fails the process when
// power button is pressed
// or physical keyboard is slided in or out
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}

I hope this helps you.
