Android .apk version doesn't work...

[SamClarke]

I have built an app, using the Tiggzi tester on my phone to test it as I was developing. It all works well, but now when I export the android .apk, it behaves differently! And I am not talking about a minor look&feel issue - it fails to set a local variable and navigate to a new screen. Has anyone else experienced this?

Can you tell us exactly what worked in the tester but fails to work as standalone .apk file? Examples, code, and/or screen shots would help.

I have a simple username field that is set on one of the pages in my app and saved to a local storage variable on a button click. The button click also navigates back to the landing page. When I get back to the landing page, the value in the local storage variable has not been set.

It works fine in the tester. I would be happy to open my project to you, I'm just not sure how to!
Thanks,
Sam

Hi!

I have almost the same problem with my app. Everything works fine in the Tiggzi Android tester. When I install the .apk file on my phone Samsung Galaxy S3 it behaves very different. I tried different versions also for my .apk build (Galaxy S3 has android 4.04 and I've selected v 4.03 as the highest in Tiggzi at the moment). Switching between screen doesn't always work and invoking my services for registering a new user ("Tilkobling" screen) won't work either.

I also suspect local variables because I use that in my project.

I have shared the application for support.

Hi!

In mobile tester everything works fine.

In the bottom of the screen you can choose between i.e. "Stemple" and "Status" each represent a normal OnClick Navigate to Page event/action.

When I compile a .APK file and install it on the phone everything looks nice. But when I select Status and then select "Stemple" the app won't navigate to this page or any other page.

I can also reproduce this in a new app:

1. Build an app with 3 screens with Navbar in the bottom (the standard way)

2. Use default OnClick Navigate to Page event/action on buttons in Navbar.

3. Produce a .APK file (i put it on my Dropbox for easy access) and install.

4. Get the latest Samsung Galaxy SIII. Mine has Android 4.04 on it.

5. After changing screen one time changing screen after that is no longer possible.

   I can make it work if I use the Use Full Screen Refresh on the NaviagteTo dialogue box. But then of course I do want Ajax functionality, so this is not a good option.

I have now changed my app from "Navigate To Page" function to use custom javascript with:

Tiggr.navigateTo('MyScreen);

When I change this line to Tiggr.navigateTo('MyScreen',"ajax"), I get the exact problem as described earlier in this thread.

We'll test and let you know what's happening.
