   @Daxito, @mikeres0 We fixed crash with application suspend resume but by the callstack I see that this might be different problem. Could you please attach sample project and steps to reproduce it?

   OK, Here is a demo with the issue, this demo was created just running "tns create sample" and that's it, run this on a real device, android of course, make sure you have many Apps already open, after opening the App, go to different Apps, then come back to this one, it should fail, I had like 17 Apps "Open", or at least were opened at some point. Let me know if you need more info.

   We tested @Daxito's package with the latest build (1.7), which is about to be released and were not able to reproduce the problem. Can you check with it and let us know the state?

   Cheers,
   Erjan

    @ErjanGavalji This is still an issue but just with a little different effects, attached is the sample app I used and this is the error I get along with the steps to reproduce it:

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Deploy the sample app to any android real device.
    2. Open a bunch of other apps, like 15.
    3. "Bring to the front/select" like 5 or 6 of those others apps before coming back to the SampleApp, the idea is to make SampleApp to be inactivated by the device.
    4. Select the SampleApp, now very "inactive", you should see these error in the log, and the app just opens a white window:

    1. After that error, your app is now dead, it is on the list of "opened" apps but you cannot select it, and even if you tap on the icon itself it just opens a black window (not white anymore), at this point all you can do is "force close" the app.

    Please let me know if you need more info, I can provide screenshots if needed.
