Hello Mark,

I had seen this issue on Android, not on iOS. And the workaround was to use
a "send in time" command to set the acceleratedRendering to true, for
example:

on preOpenStack
   send initAE to me in 300 millisec
end preOpenStack

command initAE
   set the acceleratedRendering of this stack to true
end initAE

Kind regards,
Panos

OK, I only switched the device off and on again, which is probably NOT a

Hi Panos,

I do set accelerated rendering to true in a preopencard handler on the “main”, 
“first”, “home” card (whatever you want to call it). It’s in the section of 
code that defines the properties of the data grid. Do you think this possibly 
could cause a problem?

Hello Klaus,

Nope, I just asked because I had seen some similar issues when setting this
property on preopenstack.

Well, if the same app worked as expected before, then it may be just a
random glitch, which would have been fixed with a restart of the device
(i.e no need to delete and reinstall the app).

Hi Klaus, 

I’ve had similar things happen on iOS, perhaps more recently in the past year 
than previously. Sometimes when I open the app (I’m not sure at these times if 
the app is just suspended or is actually reopening) I’ll get a black screen. If 
I tap on it 90% of the time it goes away and reveals the appropriate screen 
image. Very rarely the single or multiple taps solution does not work I’ve had 
to shut the app down (remove from memory) and then restart it again. This 
always fixes the problem (if the tapping doesn’t). It’s had me wondering where 
in the process it “hangs” since tapping the screen suggests it is still “alive" 
but just stuck somewhere and not displaying the appropriate screen image. On 
iOS I believe when you suspend an app (put it into the background) it just 
“maintains” the current screen image and re-presents that when you reopen. Up 
to now I’ve not spend any time trying to debug this. It would be nice to be 
able to trace the problem back to its origins and institute a remedy. Please

Android app black screen?

2023-07-24 Thread Klaus major-k via use-livecode
Hi all,

today I used my Android app at home, no problems.
Then I went to our band rehearsal, started the app and 
only got a black screen!?

Everything else on the device worked without problems.
De- and re-installing the app fixed it.

Has someone also experienced something like this?

Samsung tablet TAB A, Android 5.1, LC 9.6.9.
