Description

I have a mapView contained in a fragment, and am adding Symbols to the map and observing clicks on them. However after backgrounding/foregrounding the app, or navigating to another activity and back to the one containing the map, the OnSymbolClickListener is no longer receiving symbol click events.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Add Symbols to a map using the symbolManager.update(Symbol symbol) function, and observing clicks on these symbols via symbolManager.addClickListener().
  2. Verify taps on the Symbols trigger the clickListener
  3. Background/Foreground the app
Expected behavior

The click listener should still fire when symbols are tapped

Actual behavior

The click listener is no longer fired when symbols are tapped

While debugging, I was able to verify that the map's SymbolManager still had a registered onClickListener after foregrounding the app, and that the Symbols themselves were still present.
