Does not work for some Android Phones

[mariomurrent-softwaresolutions]

I'm using this library in my Expo App, but somehow it does not trigger the visibility change event on some Android devices.

Could this be a potential bug or am I misusing this library?

[SvanBoxel]

Oh no! Could you share a minimal, reproducible example?

[mariomurrent-softwaresolutions]

<VisibilitySensor style={styles.visibilitySensor} onChange={this.handleVisibilityChange}> <CodeField ref={(element) => this.codeField = element} .... /> </VisibilitySensor>

This is the example - How should I add an example which should be reproducible? It is just not working on some Android devices. So the handleVisibilityChange is not triggered.

Because it works on my Android device, I'd like to know what causes the issue for you. You could create an Expo Snack with your code that runs in an Android emulator to reproduce and share the issue you encounter.

on some Android devices.

Could you share on which Android devices it does work and on which devices it doesnt?

Here is the Snack: https://snack.expo.io/KxAKNsGaD

I'm using it as you describe it, just that the onChange is not triggered on the following phones:

Motorola G2 LTE mit Android 7.1 and an old Samsung SJ with Android 5.1.1

I haven't tried it on any other phones.

I tried to reproduce it with your snack but it all seems to work fine:

Sure on a Snack it does work, but have you tried it on the device? I mean a real device - there it does not work. As I said, not on all Android Devices, but on some.

[SvanBoxel]

Same result on a non-emulated hardware device. (Oneplus 7)

[mariomurrent-softwaresolutions]

Sure: As I already mentioned:

Motorola G2 LTE mit Android 7.1 and an old Samsung SJ with Android 5.1.1

These two device for example are not working :)

Thanks for providing that information and the Snack earlier this week. Being the only maintainer, I hope you understand I can't test this library on every device. Feel free to debug it a bit further yourself and let me know if you find something.

[mariomurrent-softwaresolutions]

Sure, I'm already on it
