Do you know any android device where AngryB won't work? :D I haven't tested
ALL devices, but I've seen AB running on a very large range of devices. Many
other games resume in a "snap", also on "not so perfromant device" like the
old HTC desire!

Nice looking!
BTW, also if anyone is interested here's a link to the webpage of the
game we just released in iOS:

It uses MonoTouch and we're porting it to Android (using MonoDroid), WP7
and maybe other platforms. We have our own Mono-XNA implementation, but

I'd say Angry Birds works in every device capable of OpenGL... My
girlfriend has a HTC Wildfire and it runs Angry Birds (and I'd say
that's a pretty crappy phone).
I don't think what they are doing is like that. I bet they are using
some sort of shortcut, just like having the textures loaded i

I have no idea, but perhaps what they're doing means that they won't work on

It is clear to me that the context creation and lost is an Android "feature".
It was done to support legacy devices which cannt handle multiple opengl
contexts.
What is not clear to me, is *how* games like Angry Birds resume

And how do some games manage to do such fast loading times?
I've read abou tricks like setting the graphics context as a static
variable so that it won't get finalized, and stuff like that but they
seem to 'hacky'. I haven't properly tried them myself though.

It's not Xamarin but Android itself that does not appear to support shared
contexts. I worked for a long time to try to get shared contexts working
in MonoGame and it just wasn't going to happen.
It is not just Mono for Android that suffers lost OpenGL contexts. It
affects all Android apps that
Hi,
I know that with the current version of M4A, when writing OpenGL
applications (games), you need to handle context destruction/creation when
the app is sent to background (eg. press the home button). This means you
have to "reload" textures and bind them to the new context. This could take
a va
