Hi! I am working on an Android port of an iOS game and am facing a little bit of a problem with the integration of a new SoundManager Class for the application.
WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: We have an achievement system integrated in our game that relies on the utilisation of the OpenFeint SDK. Whenever we click on the achievement button, an OpenFeint quote is played and needs to be maintained as the application open's up the new OpenFeint Activity window (aswell as the background music). I wanna be able to do this with the In-App Billing window activity also further down the road. Whenever a new activity is launched, the onPause() method of my application is called and inside it is a call to PauseAllAudio() of my SoundManager class which stops all sound. PARTIAL SOLUTION: I have added a AddPauseException() method which adds the handle of the sound inside an array so the PauseAllAudio() method will be able to check if the sound needs to be paused or not once it is called by onPause(). PauseAllAudio() will only do this operation depending on a boolean within my main activity which is only set to true when OpenFeint's Dashboard is openned. Otherwise it will pause all sounds in order to prevent external Activities being initiated while the sounds are kept playing (receiving calls etc.). The boolean is immediatly reset to false once PauseAllAudio() has been called. SPECIFIC PROBLEM: The sounds now keep on playing fine when the OpenFeint Dashboard is opened. The problem is they will keep on playing if I hit the Home button or if another Activity is created on top of OpenFeint since only OpenFeint's onPause() get's called when this happens. QUESTION: Is there anyway that I could link both of my activities so that onPause will be called inside of my main Activity (The game application in question) when it is called on the current Activity I have created? Would I be able to call a specific method (ie. PauseAllAudio()) from the OpenFeint Activity? Any idea of how I could prevent this issue from happenning?
