Confusing loading state in Battery Saver
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Dear developer,
I noticed that when I enable Battery Saver on Android 8.1, the indeterminate ProgressBars in the app are not properly shown. This is a known problem in Android API level <28, see e.g. this StackOverflow question. Battery Saver disables animations, also on progress bars on these versions. This is quite confusing because the loading state is not properly represented. It is fixed in later Android versions, where progress bars do appear and animate.
Looking at the code, indeterminate progress bars are created here:
className='net.gaast.giggity.ItemSearch', lineNumber=74
To fix this issue, one can check ValueAnimator.areAnimatorsEnabled() and provide a different UI element, such as a text label, when animations are disabled.
I also recorded a video, showing the issue in practice:

Belated thank you for the very well done bug report, and apologies for not responding timely at all. :(
I see that indeed in a new emulator I don't get this issue but on API 26 or so I do... Bit confusing indeed, I'll see if I can fix this one of these days, though quite annoying that the dialog doesn't automatically do this for me. :(
