BUG: Flicker on returning from Dashboard to main screen (Android)

[diarmidmackenzie]

When I move from the Dashboard to the main screen using the back button (either in the app, or the Android back button, the part of the screen at the bottom with the link to May Clinic flickers white.

Not a big deal, but doesn't look great. I don't know if everyone sees this or just my phone, but for me it happens every time.

v0.9.1

OS: androif v28;360x760.

Motorola G7 power.

I don't have any screen video recording caopability, and can't time a screenshot correctly. If you can't see this on your Android phone, please let me know what diags you'd like from a repro.

I can look into this issue .

@NethravathiPuttraju I've looked a bit into this working on a separate issue #496. The flicker appears to be due to StatusBar going from transulcent = false on the settings screen, to translucent = true on the main screen. The flicker goes away if we use translucent = true in the NavigationBarWrapper. If we set to true here, we need to then create a paddingTop, as setting to translucent moves content behind the status bar.

@troach-salesforce Okay.. So, have you resolved this issue and raised PR?

[troach-sf]

I have not resolved it. If we go with the solution I outlined above, we would need to calculate the proper paddingTop size to set. 24 would work in most cases, but we need to be mindful of notched Android devices where the status bar size may be different. I can try to do some testing today. While the flicker doesn't look great, it only lasts for a split second and probably shouldn't block more pertinent issues.

[diarmidmackenzie]

Agree - the flicker makes the app look a little unpolished, but if it's not an easy fix, there are definitely other things that we should prioritize over this.

@diarmidmackenzie - Is this still an issue or has it been fixed already?

[diarmidmackenzie]

This is still happening, even in the latest v1.1 debug builds.

Yup - this is still a good first issue!
