Android Question [Solved] Power bug?

[ThePlankton]

I'm having the strangest issue. I have a Honeywell CT-60 with android 7. I'm using B4A 8.80

When my app has focus, so main activity is visible if I remove the device from power or plug it in the activity is destroyed and recreated

I've seen nothing about this in the android life cycle.

I can reproduce with an empty project no code added release mode or debug.

This seems to be causing a lot of issues in our deployment. Any help would be appreciated

Edit: Just tested with CT-60 Android 8, same issue

Why don’t you update to the latest version of B4A? It is free.

All kinds of things can cause your activity to be recreated.
The power state shouldn't cause that. It sounds like a device bug.

Maybe it is somehow related to an external keyboard state: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element#config
Try to find the configuration change that causes it. Start with:

SetActivityAttribute(Main, android:configChanges, "keyboard|keyboardHidden")

Add more components until it will hopefully stop.

This did the trick, thank you so much

SetActivityAttribute(Main, android:configChanges, "uiMode")
