What

Fix multiple Android-side bugs that cause black screen and silent failures in Unity player initialization.

Why

Issue #3 reports a black screen. Root cause analysis found 6 interacting bugs:

  1. Thread.sleep(1000) on UI thread blocks rendering and risks ANR
  2. _isUnityReady set to true even when UPlayer creation throws — isUnityReady() returns true but getPlayer() returns null
  3. UPlayer.setZ() uses broken reflection (getMethod("setZ") without float.class param) — the Z-index call to push background Unity view behind React content always silently fails
  4. requestFrame() can return null but callers never check — NPE crash or silent failure
  5. pauseUnity(view, pause) ignores the pause boolean and always pauses
  6. All catch blocks are empty — errors are invisible in logcat

How

  • Replaced Thread.sleep(1000) with Handler.postDelayed() — same 1s delay but non-blocking
  • Added null-guard after UPlayer creation — _isUnityReady only set on success
  • Rewrote setZ() to call frame.setZ() directly instead of broken reflection
  • Added null checks for requestFrame() in both addUnityViewToBackground and addUnityViewToGroup
  • Fixed pauseUnity to respect the boolean parameter (pause vs resume)
  • Replaced all empty catch blocks with Log.e/Log.w for debuggability
  • Fixed deprecated Handler() constructor → Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())
  • Removed hardcoded Google Maps API key from example app manifest

Testing

No test suite exists for native code. Changes are mechanical (null guards, logging, correct API usage) and don't alter the initialization sequence — only fix silent failures within it. Manual testing on Android device with Unity project recommended.

Replace Thread.sleep(1000) on UI thread with Handler.postDelayed to
prevent ANR and rendering failures. Fix _isUnityReady flag being set
when player creation fails. Fix broken setZ reflection (missing float
parameter) that prevented background Z-ordering. Add null-safety for
requestFrame() results. Fix pauseUnity ignoring the pause parameter.
Replace silent catch blocks with Log statements for debuggability.
Remove hardcoded Google Maps API key from example app.

Closes #3
