Android app calls onCreate when it should call onrestart

Unity Engine

After opening the Android application and pressing the Android home button, onPause and onStop are called as expected. However, when I try to load the application again from the recent Activities list onCreate is called instead of the expected onRestart. I do not see a call to onDestroy. This is causing my application to completely restart instead of the behaviour I want which is to load the app in the state it was left off in when I first pressed the home button.

How do I get it to load the state it was in when I first pressed the home button?

Are you sure that OS doesn’t close the app because other apps need more memory?

There are no other apps running and I can see the App in the recent activities list. If the OS was destroying the activity, onDestroy should be called and I shouldn’t see it in the recent activities list.

Nevermind, I just read this:

So, it looks like it is probably destroying it because my app does take up quite a bit of memory. I’ve also read that it will call onCreate on the last activity that was in use, but Unity only ever uses 1 activity, correct?

Ok, so I just tried doing this with a new Unity project that should take up very little memory and it still has the same behaviour where it has to reload the entire app and I can see the Unity splash screen. So, it doesn’t look like its because the App is taking up a large amount of memory

I have an Android library plugin. The manifest file looks like this:




I have found another thread that has the same issue: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/127794-Android-Apps-crashing-on-resume but I’ve added the configChanges to the manifest file and I still have the same issue.

This is the output of the logcat when the app crashes:
