Jacque, I don’t think I can make a bug report yet. I don’t have it isolated outside my project; which LC will surely tell me to do! I’ll work on trying to isolate the issue.
What I know is this: (1) My project runs perfectly with acceleratedRendering enabled – except when the app is suspended, it crashes when brought to the foreground again. (2) I put a button in my app with one line, it simply disables acceleratedRendering. When I tap this button, the app no longer crashes when brought to the foreground after being suspended. I am not really sure where to go to try to isolate the issue. There is something definitely up with acceleratedRendering on Android. On iOS, I enable acceleratedRendering at the beginning of my startup routine. Works great. On Android, this makes the app hang. But, if I move the enabling of acceleratedRendering to the end of the startup routine, it works fine. I had a related issue with setting the textFont of the mainStack at startup (we’re using an external font). When I set the textFont of the stack after setting the acceleratedRendering, the app crashed. But, setting the textFont of the stack before setting the acceleratedRendering was fine. This is kind of a high-profile client and I’ve got about 1 week to get this resolved before I have to deliver the final app. This must get resolved this week! -Dan > Please enter a bug report about this, it's a different issue than the one I > wrote up. > > -- > Jacqueline Landman On August 13, 2017 1:07:12 PM Dan Friedman via use-livecode <use-livecode at lists.runrev.com<http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode>> wrote: > I took Ralph’s advice and made a 0 line stack to try to recreate the issue. > To my astonishment, the app didn’t have the same problem!
