  1. Resolution Note:

    The main cause of this issue is that Android does not preserve the content of the SurfaceView that we render to/from GL/VK. And this is Google's issue.

    To resolve this, the method we already use for UnityPlayerActivity is applied to UnityPlayerGameActivity. Though, it is not perfect or smooth. The fixes applied here are only meant to minimize the problem, and the fundamental fixes will need to be done by Google.
