Different Behavior on Android Versions

  • Updated 4 years ago
Have tested a PhoneGap app on four different environments:
1) Android 4.04 with Chrome version 42.0.2311.111
2) Android 4.4  with Chrome version 42.0.2311.111
3) Android 5.1 with Chrome version 42.0.2311.111
4) Android 5.1+ with Chrome version ~45

The app works on #4, but there are problems with the others as follows:
#1 - Display badly distorted to the point that application could not be used.
#2 - Display badly distorted to the point that application could not be used.
#3 - Display is corrected, but global variables do not seem to be treated “properly” causing application to not process and/or navigate properly.

Anyone have info that would shed light on what could be going on with the older versions and what changes are needed?

Hi Brian,

1. I am not sure why you mention the Chrome browser version. You are not using such browser to display your app, are you? Or is this an emulator environment?

2. Display problems on Android can be caused by either wrong CSS (no liquid UI design) or by a wrong meta/viewport element. Can you please post the latter?

3. The problem with variables is unclear. Can you post an example ( or post an url to your zip file and indicate where the issue can be found)

Thanks for response.

Browser version was only mentioned because I was not sure if it had any underlying relevance to how PhoneGap operates. 

Will have to get back on the other two items.
