public class MyActivity extends Cocos2dxActivity {
public static void showSDKLogin() {
sdkMgr.showLogin();
}
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
static {
System.loadLibrary(“game”);
}
}

in sdkMgr.showLogin() function it start a new activity to show some dialog. i call it by jni in cocos2dx c++ code.

I have the same problem!

I’m integrating Samsung In-App purchasing, and when the Samsung’s purchase dialog appears, the game screen flickers. It’s like when there are two screens which are switching at 60FPS.

The same thing happens with Google Play game services.

This happens also when there’s no dialog displayed, but another activity is started to do some work, like authenticating the user with Samsung Account.

This is a serious issue. I don’t know is it our fault or there is a bug in cocos2dx?

i think it is our bug, a lot of games using the same sdk api do not flicker. but i can’t find any suggestion with google

I have the same issue and still don’t know how to fix it.
Did You fix the issue?

#5

What version of Cocos2d-x?

#6

No, I didn’t fix the issue.

Version 2.1.3. I didn’t try with newer versions.

#8

Cocos2d-x 2.2.0
Here is some video http://youtu.be/IH1WEggREUg
Program loads screen1, then switches to screen2 and then the program calls

Activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                gameHelper.beginUserInitiatedSignIn();
            }
        });

where gameHelper is instance of GameHelper (Google Play Service helper class)

I delay calling beginUserInitiatedSignIn in 3 seconds and everything seems okay!

thx i will try it

#13

Does anyone have any idea why the call to ‘super.onPause()’ is commented out?

That is really suspicious.

#14

Is this an issue on 3.0beta2?
