I have a splash screen and a menu screen class that loads all my texture atlases and skins for the menu and processes lots of stuff. If I put the constructor for the menu screen in the SplashScreen constructor or in the create() method of my main game class (MyGame class) then it would pass a lot of time with no splash screen render image on the phone while the whole stuff loads so I have delayed the loading of the menu class to the second frame render (gets called in the SplashScreen render method in the second frame); I simply check if I passed the first frame then I call a method on the main game class that loads the menus.
It all works fine , as expected , but only if the SplashScreen load process is not interrupted. If I get a call or I simple press the HOME button of the mobile and then I re-enter the game by clicking the icon on the home screen I get an AndroidGraphics error : "waiting for pause synchronization took too long: assuming dead lock and killing"; this is just after I can see the splash screen on the screen for about a second;
I tried to dispose the MyGame in the hide() and pause() methods of both the main game class and the splash screen class so it's terminated if I press the HOME button but they never get called.
How can I fix this? It would be annoying to get a call while loading the game and after you finish the call and try to re-enter the game it crashes.
public class MyGame extends Game{
...
public MainMenu menu;
...
@Override
public void create(){
this.screen_type == SCREEN_TYPE.SPLASH;
splashScreen = new SplashScreen();
setScreen(splashScreen);
}
...
@Override
public void pause(){
//never gets called if I press the HOME button in middle of splash screen
if(this.screen_type == SCREEN_TYPE.SPLASH)
{
this.dispose();
}
}
...
public void LoadMenuTimeConsumingConstructor(){
//load all menus and process data
main_menu = new MainMenu();
loaded_menu = true;
}
}
public class SplashScreen implements InputProcessor, Screen{
public MyGame main_game;
...
public SplashScreen(MyGame game){
this.main_game = game;
}
@Override
public void pause(){
//never gets called if I press the HOME button in middle of splash screen
if(main_game.screen_type == SCREEN_TYPE.SPLASH)
{
main_game.dispose();
}
}
@Override
public void hide(){
//never gets called if I press the HOME button in middle of splash screen
if(main_game.screen_type == SCREEN_TYPE.SPLASH)
{
main_game.dispose();
}
}
@Override
public void render(delta float){
...
//wait 1.5 sec
if(TimeUtils.millis() - startTime > 1500){
{
if(main_game.loaded_menu = true){
main_game.setScreen(main_game.main_menu);
}
}
...
if(is_this_second_frame){ // we start loading menus in the second frame so we already have the splash onscreen
main_game.LoadMenuTimeConsumingConstructor();
}
...
}
}
