Hi,

I have a new Android tablet, and of course using TW is a priority!
Everything seems to display pretty well from either the default
browser (essentially Chrome) or Firefox, and Firefox appears to save
OK, as well.

But, there's no backstage, and on my customized TWs, I've moved a lot
of things like Tabs up there. Does the backstage work for anyone else,
or any ideas about how to get it back??

Thanks,
Jon

Can you tell us what's the url that you see in the address bar of your
browser when you open the TW.

I've the same symptom with backstage, and read only mode for "local"
file

This is (maybe) due to the harcoded "file://" expression tha we find
everywhre in TW.
I'm beeing to create a serious core hack to patch that (for my usage)

Cheers

In Firefox, I get a file:/// URL much as in Windows.

This gave me an idea, though: although TW doesn't seem to be acting
like it's seeing the file as remote rather than local, I wondered what
would happen with a TW where I have a simple login macro that
explicitly shows the backstage upon correct login. This macro does

backstage.init();
backstage.show();

...upon login, and this works: voila, a functional backstage on the
Android! In fact, everything now seems to work on either Firefox or
Dolphin, except that only Firefox is capable of saving so far.

I am running AndTidWiki (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mgsimon.android.andtidwiki&hl=en) to get TW to work on my Galaxy SII phone.
Whenever I open a TW it ask me if I want to open it with the browser or AndTidWiki.
Not having any issues with the backstage other than things being small, and hence hard to click on the write stuff.
I also keep my TW in DropBox, so it is always uploaded, and availble anywhere.
