[fr3nzy]

Versions

• Python: 3.60
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• Kivy:1.10.1

Description

Apk created using p4a, command used:

p4a apk --private $HOME/Documents/Code/Kivy/kivytest --package=org.example.myaasdqpp --name "My appliasacation" --version 0.1 --bootstrap=sdl2 --requirements=kivy,python3crystax,pyjnius,android,sdl2 --ndk-dir $HOME/Documents/Code/crystax-ndk-10.3.2 --android-api 28 --arch=armeabi-v7a

Whenever the home button is pressed or the screen is switched off, report for the app crash appears and according to the logs, python for android ends:

12-10 20:47:23.996  6150  6150 I python  : [INFO   ] [WindowSDL   ] App doesn't support pause mode, stop.
12-10 20:47:23.997  6150  6150 I python  : INFO:kivy:[WindowSDL   ] App doesn't support pause mode, stop.
12-10 20:47:23.998  6150  6150 I python  : [INFO   ] [Base        ] Leaving application in progress...
12-10 20:47:23.998  6150  6150 I python  : INFO:kivy:[Base        ] Leaving application in progress...
12-10 20:47:24.201  6150  6171 I python  : Python for android ended.

The back button does not mention App doesn't support pause mode, stop., but ends right away.

Code and Logs

import kivy
kivy.require('1.10.1')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.relativelayout import RelativeLayout

class Root(RelativeLayout):
	def __init__(self):
		super().__init__()


class WhatToday(App):
	def build(self):
		 return Root()
	def on_pause(self):
		pass

WhatToday().run()

This occurs whilst using the crystax ndk and sdl2 as the bootstrap. I am unable to run the android ndk or pygame to test as a comparison because both bring about errors that have no mention on the internet. Since using the crystax ndk and sdl2 are the only ways I can successfully create an apk.

I believe on_pause should return True so that the app doesn't stop. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20719383/run-the-application-in-background

Having said that there is something really wrong with SDL2, as I've been able to check with python3:
See kivy/kivy#6075.
I understand this is a critical bug as it is basic functionality in the default configuration.
