Hello,

I am using Wowza SDK for Android.

I have an issue when i am streaming and the app goes in background.

When the app goes foreground, I can get the preview :

```auto
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    if(goCoderCameraView != null)
    {
        goCoderCameraView.onResume();
    }

```

But it seems that the stream doesn’t work : i can’t see image on the player.

Is there a way to not loose the connection ?

Ok Android background stream doesn’t work yet.

So I need to stop the stream on onPause() and restart when onResume()

It is for playback apps but not yet for broadcast app- we have a ticket for it.
