MonoBehaviour.OnApplicationPause(bool)

Parameters

pauseStatus True if the application is paused, else False.

Description

Sent to all GameObjects when the application pauses.

OnApplicationPause is called

OnApplicationPause can be a co-routine; to do this use the yield statement in the function. Implemented this way, it is evaluated twice during the initial frame: first as an early notification, and secondly during the normal co-routine update step.

On Android, when the on-screen keyboard is enabled, it causes a OnApplicationFocus( false ) event. Additionally, if you press "Home" at the moment the keyboard is enabled, the OnApplicationFocus() event is not called, but OnApplicationPause() is called instead.

using UnityEngine;

public class AppPaused : MonoBehaviour { bool isPaused = false;

void OnGUI() { if (isPaused) GUI.Label(new Rect(100, 100, 50, 30), "Game paused"); }

void OnApplicationFocus(bool hasFocus) { isPaused = !hasFocus; }

void OnApplicationPause(bool pauseStatus) { isPaused = pauseStatus; } }
