Android System WebView 43.0 Problems

[Alan Neveu]

Hello,

We use StratifiedJS in our PhoneGap application. On June 2nd, Google updated Android System WebView to version 43.0. That completely broke our application, and I mean absolutely broke it. I have been working with Google engineers to try to figure out what is happening, and they are quite sure the problem is with my code and not in System WebView. Here is a thread to see a description of the problem and the conversation:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Week%20ReleaseBlock%20Cr%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified&groupby=&sort=&id=503701

I am wondering if anyone has seen problems or conflicts between StratifiedJS and System WebView 43.0. Anybody??

We are running Version 0.14.0 of stratified.js. Perhaps we will try the latest version and see if that helps.

Many thanks in advance for any thoughts you can share.

Great news... The problem we are experiencing has to do with a conflict between JQuery Mobile 1.3.2 and Android System WebView 43.0. We found some workaround code that looks like this:

// Override of $.fn.animationComplete muse be called before initialise jquery mobile js $(document).bind('mobileinit', function() { $.fn.animationComplete = function(callback) { if ($.support.cssTransitions) { var superfy= "WebKitTransitionEvent" in window ? "webkitAnimationEnd" : "animationend"; return $(this).one(superfy, callback); } else { setTimeout(callback, 0); return $(this); } }; })

And this seems to solve the problem.

Thanks for listening! Oh, we have also updated to StratifiedJS 0.19.0, so thanks for the awesomeness of Stratified JS!
