Android webview

[wgmp]

Hi!

Awesome lib sir - thank you!

I've been using skrollr in a page loaded into a webview - work very nicely on iOS, feels pretty seamless with the native app, but not much fun on the embedded webview in Android.

http://disciplemedia.co.uk/sandpit/the-pit.html (Note I've borrowed some of the assets from the Pharell Williams piece built using scrollerama I think, but we're not affiliated. Just some handy resources to use).

I know that prior to 4.4 the webview is a hardly-maintained webkit view - but I'm only animating one property, so according to the various posts out there it should work, but no cigar. Getting the blank screen issue that others report.

Do you have any tips to make this work?

Thanks again,
Will.

It does work on the default Android browser on my S2, which should be the same rendering engine. There's this issue with Android: #175 but you say your window is completely white. There must be something completely wrong.

Thanks for the quick response!

My error, it's a black screen, though it does seem to have a gradient,
screenshot attached.

Also, it's an embedded webview. The default android browser displays ok on
HTC one mini too, it's just when embedded I get the issue.

Best, William.

I don't know how I could help you, sorry.

OK, sorry, noob error.

I've got to get a bit more forensic on this, will post any useful
resolution.

Do you know of anyone using skrollr ok in an android webview (pre 4.4)?

Nope, haven't heard of any.

OK. So now it works like a dream - on Android and iOS, and totally comparable to the native code for smooth animation.

Issue was the webview container being sized to zero height at start, all the 100% high sections were a bit short. :). With the web view initialized at full screen in the native app we're good.

I can see the standard Android webview bug, where only the first css property gets animated, but we can work round it and bar that it's great.

Thanks again for your quick response previously, and an awesome library!

Best, W.

Nice to hear!
