Bug: Dim-light is shown on launch. (Video link Included)
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 6:42 pm
Hello,
This bug has been years since LiveCode 8 introduced. It’s a very critical issue but it’s not been fixed until now.
I thought that it was my PC problem but it was not. I completely formatted my PC and tested again, yet I got the same issue.
Tested Video link: https://youtu.be/SziawUu8Nsc
Tested Devices:
Samsung Galaxy J2, Samsung Galaxy Edge 6, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7, Lenovo Tab, Kobo arc HD 7, Le Pan Tablet — all device show dim light on launch. dim light last 0.1 ~ 11 sec. It depends on specs of devices.
Stack built with:
PC: Windows 10 Pro x64, LC 9.5.0 dp-1, jdk-8u211-windows-x64.exe installed.
Issue:
On Android devices, Dim-light from the bottom of the screen is shown on launch.
Details:
-This issue lasts longer with a stack containing sub-stacks (It’s 10.9Mb as a standalone stack.)
-It lasts less than 0.1~0.2 sec with Samsung Galaxy Edge 6. but it varies greatly from 0.1~10 sec depends on the size of stack and specs of devices.
-Low spec devices will have longer dim light in the black background on launch.
Comment:
-Including or Size of copy file doesn’t affect this issue.
-This issue lasts a very short time at the beginning of the launch, it’s hard to catch.
-To make this more visible, set the background of the test stack to black and use low spec device OR add sub-stacks with enough data.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a plain stack. (no code, no copy files)
2. Set the background color to black so that the dim light on launch more visible. (It’s hard to see with gray or white background.)
3. Add sub-stacks containing enough data to be 10Mb as a final standalone stack size. (I added two sub-stacks with all kind of objects in them.)
4. Save it as a standalone stack.
5. Test it.
Result:
Regardless of the existence of sub-stacks, both stacks show dim-light on the launch. but the stack with sub-stack shows longer dim-light.
(From shorter to longer last of dim-light from the bottom of the screen)
stack = stack with files < stack with sub-stacks
Please see the tested Video: https://youtu.be/SziawUu8Nsc
The first stack on the video is a simple raw stack just with text, and the second stack on the video has two sub-stacks.
With this bug, LiveCode won’t be a recommended tool for Android app development. Hope this issue fix ASAP.
Thanks for your time,
Louis
