Hi, newbie boxer here. How can I make the game detect incoming calls and pause the game when the call is activated?
Hi @Titus welcome to the forum. I'm not sure about Android, but for iOS, I'm pretty sure pausing an active app is standard Apple procedure anyway for an incoming call, so you don't need to implement anything in Buildbox.
As long as your game has a pause screen (ui) It will pause and return to the pause screen Apple will pause no matter what, I think. But Android I’m pretty sure needs the pause screen
I don't think you need to add special feature to pause screen on android.While playing game the call would appear in notification.Accept the call and game goes to background where you have left and after end call the game resumes automatically from last location .Hope this helps.
thats treat does pause in the background, but if you ever want a feature on google play, that is one of the requisites that they have. the game must return to a pause screen with a continue button. So best to put it in place.
I'm surprised by the responses on this thread. I have a pause menu but when I get a call or press the home button the game is still playing and no pause menu when I get back into it. Same results on ios and andriod.
