Kivy Andorid apps restart from splash page after leaving and returning to Kivy app.

[Daniel Booth]

Every Android kivy app that I have run on my android 5.1+ devices will restart every time I leave the app and return to it. It restarts from the splash page and says "loading". Any idea how to return to the app without having to restart the app?

Do you mention the android version because this only happens on that version?

[Daniel Booth]

I've only tested the apps on Nexus 6 and Nexus 7 with android versions 5.1+. This includes apps on the Play Store such as DeflecTouch, 2048(using Kivy), Crappy Bird, and even your Scatter app. I did find an exception: MemoryKivy. It does not restart at the splash page when I return to it; MemoryKivy retains the current state of the app when I leave and return.

I looked into this at one point but never did anything with it. You may want to take a look at the pause-mode link below. Hope that helps!
