hi I have a problem with an android app.

I want to have a splash screen that is active immediately.

but i get a flicker during apptheme drawable splash and manifest splash.

And a flicker during qml first time overlay and fading to content.

i do not know how to fix this behaviour.

i followed some advice over here:

Hi Bas,

we’ll have a look at this and get back to you next week, is this sufficient? We do have used another technique to implement a native Android splash screen, we need to discuss what options we have and weather to also implement this into the engine itself.

Cheers,
Alex

[Bas]

yes that is fine, thanx!

Hi all,

Just to be noted, I followed the same tutorial as Bas and also experience flickering. Just one time on faster device, twice on slower.

I am waiting with more work in this area to later stage of my game, it’s not a priority at the moment.

Despite it I would be very interested in any improvements that can be done in this area.

We already had a look at some possible improvements, our new solution will be part of one of the next Felgo Updates then! 😉

Any solutions?

I`m using “theme” splash to display it immediately at start, and splash_screen_drawable

Between them there is a something like a theme-switch, statusbar gets visible for a while

then there is a second flicker, before qml gets painted (a short black screen).

seems like  https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-43558  is still not resolved in any way?

Or I`m missing something?

Hi,

have you tried something similar to this already? https://falsinsoft.blogspot.com/2017/07/qml-show-android-native-splash-screen.html

Best,
Alex

making my main loader synchronous, and using sticky splash with fadeout resolved second flicker 🙂

The one remaining (it`s not so noticeable) happens when qt starts, and (as someone stated on forums) (seems to)  calls setTheme

Android statusbar changes style, twice. From white-on-transparent to white-on-gray, and again to white-on-transparent. It happens in a few frames (~3..5)

 

UPD: statusbar flicker resolved setting application android:theme to @android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen

The same must be stated in splash file: parent=”@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen”

Splash is perfect now 😀

 

…And, I think you should make some tutorial for this, it`s not so easy to non-android programmer to find this all out 🙂
