Android Question List help after pause

[joseph123zed]

Hello,
I have been working on a game with a few lists in it and implemented a pause so that when you leave the game (press home button), a pause comes up. When I go back to the game, it says that the object should be initialized (list) and I read that you must initialize an empty list. With this the case, how do I pause the game and keep all of my lists intact as they were before the pause? If this is not possible, are there any suggestions of how to pause a game with a list?

Thanks,
Joseph

Thanks Erel. I was hoping for some kind of way to keep the list variables untouched but I guess I am just going to have to dump them into a file!

You can keep them untouched (as long as the process is kept running) if you store them as process global variables.

Wow Erel, that did the trick, much appreciated!
