Context change

[Raswr]

So I'm getting a crash on my app after pressing home and going back into it,

Code Select Expand

I've been searching but haven't found what I have to do exactly to manage gl context changes. Is the solution to load all the models from the files (serialized) again? and same goes for the textures? I thought the engine would manage re-upload of vbos and textures to the gpu, but now I don't really know, the info is a bit confusing to me.



Thank you.

There's actually nothing you have to do manage a context change if you don't want to. The engine should handle it by itself unless you don't remove any textures or meshes. Are you doing anything like that in onPause/onStop/...?

Ok thanks Egon, for some reason I was clearing the texture manager on OnStop() and I got confused while reading some posts about the glcontext that I didn't understand , I should have double-checked my code first , problem solved!
