Hi,

I'm new to this forum so I'm not entirely sure if this question has been asked before.

I made an android Application, which is a clone of FlappyBird on Unity3D. I made the APK and while the functionality is ok, there seems to be an issue where you can see-through my app.

By that I mean, when I played the game on my phone, I could see the applications on my screen or on my task manager, as if the game wasn't running. Similarly, when I played it on bluestacks, whenever I died or whenever the scene was fading into a different scene, I could see the bluestacks logo on the middle of the screen.

I've uploaded a video onto youtube where you can see what I'm talking about. the video stutters a little but I hope you catch it.

---To perform the SceneFading effect I had animated a panel's alpha value to go from 255-0.

Please Help! and do let me know if you need me to provide the code! 

I don't use Unity so excuse my "terminology". From what I can gather it appears your main scene will "see through" because you're taking the surface in which you draw on and giving it a lower opacity through your fading feature.

You can try putting a second surface under your main surface and fill it black. When you do your fading you shouldn't be able to see through it anymore.

Give this a try and let me know how it works.

I had thought that was what was happening so I did make a black background which I placed behind my BG image as well as all the game components, but the problem persisted.

Also the fading feature doesn't fade the BG/Player/Obstacles etc. It works by first activating an Object which is a black screen with an alpha value of 0, and increases it's alpha value to 255(max) and then loads the next scene. Some how whenever the FadeIn or FadeOut is happening, I can see through the app. which is particularly bothersome on the phone because you can see the mainscreen with the apps as well.

Can you try this:

Look for the preserve frame buffer alpha in platform settings. This will be in the android player settings,

Is it checked? If so, uncheck it, and try again.
