ios/android black screen after app minimize

November 25, 2014 - 11:49am #1

Hello I'm having issues with the Vuforia AR on ios or android when closing the app and returning to it, sometimes the AR camera will not come back and only displays a black screen. UI still renders fine. Even after getting a black screen, closing and reopening the app 'might' bring the camera back.

Unity 4.5.5f1

Vuforia 3.0.9

xCode 6.1 ( 6A1052d)

 

The below is what I get from xCode on returning to a black screen.

Help fixing this is appreciated. Thank you.

ios/android black screen after app minimize

February 16, 2015 - 12:09am #9

The script provided in my previous post simply takes care of stopping the QCARBehaviour component (which is handling the camera and tracker initialization) when the App is paused, and re-enabling it explicitly when the app is resumed. The script can be attached to any object n your scene, although a good candidate might be the ARCamera object itself.

Hi slowin,

thanks for sharing your "tip";  however, re-loading a Level  (as you show in your snippet) at each OnApplicationPause, might slow down the resuming;

I think you could give a try to the snippet I suggested in my previous post, as this should be significantly faster (disabling / re-enabling QCAR should take almost no time, while re-loading a full Level might take longer)

private QCARBehaviour qcar;
void Start()
{
qcar = (QCARBehaviour) FindObjectOfType( typeof (QCARBehaviour) );
}
void OnApplicationPause(bool paused) {
if( paused ) {
qcar.enabled = false;
} else {
qcar.enabled = true;
}
}

I'm having this exact problem too, in iOS.

I tried this code, a rate of incident is down.

 

void OnApplicationPause( bool _paused ){
Application.LoadLevel(0);
}

 

same issue...

Actually, we have code in the app that enables and disables qcar on certain application events, but have found that on Android, qcar does not re-enable properly, so we commented that code out on Android. I was assuming that the resume from background was related to the enabled/re-enabled issue. I am willing to give it a try to only disable on pause, and re-enabled on resume, though.

Have you tried by disabling QCARBehaviour (i.e. stop camera and trackers) on pause, i.e. with some code like:

private QCARBehaviour qcar;

void Start()
{
  qcar = (QCARBehaviour) FindObjectOfType( typeof (QCARBehaviour) );
}

void OnApplicationPause(bool paused) {
  if( paused )
  {
    qcar.enabled = false;
  }
  else
  {
    qcar.enabled = true;
  }
}

?

We are seeing this same problem, but only on Anddroid. Unity 4.6.0f3, Vuforia 3.0.9

Anybody find any workarounds to fix this?
