Activity_Pause not executing

1) What is showing in the logs?
2) What code have you got in the pause?

Put a Log statement in the pause and you will see that it is executing. Msgboxes, because they are modal and so halt the code execution in the Sub, cannot be displayed in Activity_Pause. There is explicit code in Basic4android to disallow this. Dialogs and a debugger break are also not allowed because they use the same underlying mechanism to achieve modality.

Notes about the debugger:
- Breakpoints in the following subs will be ignored: Globals, Process_Globals and Activity_Pause.

I changed the MsgBox to a Log and see the pause in the logs, so I'm good to go now. What was throwing me was that the breakpoint was working in the Resume, but not in the Pause, but I understand why now that you've explained it. Thanks.

In order to allow fast applications switching Android requires the Pause sub to complete quickly. Therefore pausing the execution during this sub is impossible.
