Hi Xing,
Seems correct, I have installed 42.0.2311.107 and raster was off on Galaxy
S2. However, in Chrome 43 the raster is on but Crosswalk 14 that is based
on Chromium 43 has the raster still off. I followed your suggestion and use
Crosswalk 14 with the following code snippet:
@Override
protected void onXWalkReady() {
XWalkPreferences.setValue(XWalkPreferences.ANIMATABLE_XWALK_VIEW, false);
loadUrl(launchUrl);
}
Please advise.
Thanks
Dan
