How to fix screen flicker on Application.Quit() in Android?

In an Android game I’m currently working on, we’re calling Application.Quit() when the user presses the back button on the main menu. The problem we’re having is that the screen flickers for a second before the game closes, flipping between the current and previous frames. How can we avoid this flicker when calling Application.Quit()?

Well, you could do something like this:

When you want to close your app, start a coroutine which does this:

  • Disable all camera(s)
  • yield WaitForEndOfFrame
  • GL.Clear(true, true, Color.black, 1.0f);
  • yield WaitForEndOfFrame
  • GL.Clear(true, true, Color.black, 1.0f);
  • Application.Quit();

I fade my screen to black similar to what Bunny83 said but instead I create a 2D texture, set its Rect to the Screen.width and Screen.height, set it’s color to black and it’s alpha to 0.0f then Lerp it to 1.0f over 2/3 seconds. once the alpha channel is 1.0f I do Application.Quit();

There are some great scripts out there that do this :slight_smile:
