app.showpopup

[Nicola Licari]

Good morning,
I do not understand why

app.ShowPopup ("text");

it doesn't show any message on my samsung note8 smartphone.

I have to remedy with

alert ("text");

Is this an html app or native?

Does the popup appear without the text or do you not see it at all?

What version of DroidScript are you using?

[Nicola Licari]

Hi Steve, 

the app is native, droidscript version is 1.8 0.0.0.0 

and I don't see the popup.

[Steve Garman]

I can't remember seeing that problem before.

Does this problem only happen in one app?

If you use a separate minimal app like the code below, does the pop-up show?

function OnStart()
{
lay = app.CreateLayout( "linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );

btn = app.CreateButton( "Test" );
btn.SetTextSize( 32 );
btn.SetOnTouch( btn_OnTouch );
lay.AddChild( btn );

app.AddLayout( lay );
}

function btn_OnTouch()
{
app.ShowPopup( "Popping up" );
}

[Nicola Licari]

yes Steve, 

even with this code it doesn't work. 

 I also tried with the examples I find on droidscript, where you can copy the code and paste it on a new app or run it directly from the example by starting it with the run key

No idea what's happening here.

What make and model phone/tablet are you using?

Have you installed a custom ROM? If so, which?

Have you rooted the device yourself? If so, what software did you use?

[Nicola Licari]

Hi,

I use a Samsung Note8 smartphone

Original smartphone, no custom rom and no root. 

 I don't understand why, and to remedy this problem, I always use alert to display messages.
Not a problem, I'll go ahead to use alert ... thanks.

There is a suggestion on StackOverflow that this may be something to do with your notification settings

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53703013/android-toast-doesnt-show-up suggests

Go to your app settings -> Notifications and check if notifications are turned on. This action is possible in newer android versions
Even though a Toast is not a notification, it seems that NotificationManagerService.java will not show Toast if Notifications are disabled

Hi Steve 

Sorry for the late reply, it works.

droidscript notifications were disabled. 

 Thanks
