Graphical errors in RemoteViews after converting

[henningBunk]

Hi! I've got another one for you ;)
This graphical error only appears when the drawable is used inside a RemoteViews element of an app widget. When the same drawable is used inside the main app it looks fine. For this reason I think AppCompat isn't an option since it can't be used inside RemoteViews.

The error happened on a Samsung Note 3 with Android 5.0. The Nexus 5 with Android 6 was fine.

Here are two Screenshots before and after running avdo:

Weird... does this also happen in a non-RemoteView on the Samsung Note 3 when not using AppCompat? Because I have no idea why the bug would only occur inside a RemoteView...

[henningBunk]

Hey!
I've finally got the time to check this issue again. I tested it again and you are right, the graphics are also broken inside of the app. When using AppCompat the problem is gone.

Is it somehow possible to prevent the conversion to relative coordinates?

[alexjlockwood]

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll try to make some free time to work on it. :)
