Question by Naphier · Dec 03, 2014 at 04:42 PM · androidbackgroundminimize

Android how to moveTaskToBack and minimze the app but not terminate it?

In java this is simply act.moveTaskToBack(true); In Unity I can only find Application.Quit() which appears to fully terminate the application. We want our users to be able to minimize the app with a back key press when they're at the app's main menu. I have searched the forums here as thoroughly as I can and all I can find are uses of Application.Quit() which is, for me, terminating the app.

Thanks!

 AndroidJavaObject activity = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer").GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
 activity.Call<bool>("moveTaskToBack" , true);

Works like a charm! Thanks to jeli23 http://jeli23-unity.blogspot.com/2014/05/unity-android-back-button-problem.html?showComment=1418223248020#c1011871436739340057

I would like also to mention important part of working solution by Naphier. Make sure that you call "new AndroidJavaClass()" within start() method, and never within lambda function, coroutine and etc. Just tested and works awesome!
