[Gear VR] How to shut down app on exit to the Store ?

vrdaveb said:

Yes, short-press brings up the confirm quit menu and if you confirm quit, then it should quit the app and take you to home. If that isn't happening, it would be a bug. We need a lot more information about the problem. What app is having the problem? What hardware and versions of UE4, the integration, Android, and SystemActivities are you using? Can you provide complete logcat from a failing run?

Right. If I do short press, I get quit menu, press Yes, I am taken to Oculus Home. Then I take out phone from GVR and my app is still running. If I tap on it, I will be asked to plug in my phone into GVR and I am back into the game. Rinse / repeat.

It's my test app (I can upload project and link it to you), UE 4.11pre8 stock, Galaxy S6 SM-G920T, android 5.1.1, I am guessing latest SystemActivities since I have screenshot/video recording in UM (VR Service Version 2.3.12 / 231200000 MAIN / 6/22/11 10:25 PM not sure if that's where I look the version for SystemActivities). Not sure what you mean by "integration".

Is there some short guide how to get logcat when using UE4 dev builds? 

So, I am looking into this https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/GearVR/Debugging/index.html and I see in order to work with logs I have to turn on development mode (I am guessing even if I have phone in GVR and use WiFi for debugging). However, when I was dealing with issues related to Back button, I was told not to run development mode as back button on the phone won't work.

So, what do I need to do? :blush: 

With the latest update I got a few hours ago (see my post about video recording in Mobile Development), now my app gets shut down if I remove phone from Gear VR. However, if I exit into Oculus Home (Store), and then remove device from Gear VR, the app will still be running. So something got fixed, but not completely? I will try to get logcat this weekend.

Alright, got my debugging setup working. Here is the link to logcat file and a screenshot showing my app still running even though I exited to Oculus Home and then removed device from Gear VR:

Basically what I did was I turned on developer mode for Gear VR Service, ran adb logcat -c, then adb logcat -s UE4 OVR VrApi VrLib VRSVC HmdInfo >logoutput.txt, then I opened my app, put phone into GVR, looked around once, short-pressed back button on GVR, got Exit to Oculus Home prompt, said Yes, waited until Oculus Store/Home is loaded, took off GVR and removed phone from it.

Oh, and VR Service Version is now 2.4.29 / 242900000 MAIN / 6/22/11 10:25 PM 

Bump! Just wondering if any of the info I provided is of use.

Basically, both ways should work. Are you on the latest 4.11? Are you sure your logcat is complete? It doesn't seem like. You should see log entries like these:

It should be whole logcat. I followed instructions, and pressed Ctrl + C after I pulled out phone from the Gear VR. Then uploaded logcat to GDrive.

If you Ctrl + F over my logcat, whatever you see in your posted part of the logcat is present in mine. Maybe because I pulled phone out of GVR and only later pressed Ctrl + C logcat has extra stuff in it?

Maybe Epic's instructions aren't correct and I missed something ?

all what you need to do is to run 'adb logcat -c' first (before running the app, while phone is connected to usb), then run the app, dock it, do whatever you do, connect the phone back to usb and run 'adb logcat -d >log.txt'. That is it, you have full log.txt.
