I’m having a problem with graphics in build 2011.703. When I build for Android and install on a device, some of the graphics assets don’t display correctly. Some of the images are not rendered and are replaced with black rectangles.
This doesn’t seem to be a problem on iOS builds.
It’s also not a problem on 2011.591 builds for Android.
The problem persists whether I compile on Mac or PC.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone have a fix?
Thanks Joakim, but that’s not it. I also always use lower case letters for assets - great minds, right :-).
If it was an uppercase / lowercase problem the app would crash or throw. (this has happened to me before )
Furthermore, I use the same code / asset name in multiple places and it works intermittently. for example, it works fine once, then I return to that screen later in the app and it fails. Or it works with one widget and fails for its brother widget on the same screen.
Also, it works fine with the .591 build, but not with the .703 build - so I think it’s Corona build specific.
Thanks for the input, but that’s not the problem. All my images are the same. All 8-bit RGB.
As I said, it works on a previous build of Corona, just not on the latest (.703) build. Also, the problem occurs with some Corona generated text too, not just with images. And it’s fine when I build for iOS (exactly the same code).
It’s like the rendering engine just gets confused and throws up solid rectangles instead of text / images - and there’s no rhyme or reason as to which text / graphics resources are effected.
It seems to happen on larger apps - so I’m thinking it might be a memory management thing. But that doesn’t explain why it works with the previous Corona build…
Does anyone else have any ideas? Has anyone else seen something like this?
I’ve submitted a report. I’ll let you know when I get a bug #.
I’ve been having a few troubles with .703/4. For example, I had a situation where the alpha of a graphics object suddenly started being applied to everything in its display group. I’ve also seen the display rendering on the sim go “nuts”, meaning that the image would shrink to half its size every time there was a “touch” event. Until there was nothing left of the image.
Thanks again.

Dumb question, but when/where/how do I get a bug#? It’s been a couple of days and I haven’t heard back from tech support - is there somewhere I go to look this up? Or do I wait until they create a case for me?
Thanks a bunch [import]uid: 76436 topic_id: 19801 reply_id: 77332[/import]
Up top it should mention “looking for previous submissions?” or the like and if you click that will show up bugs you’ve reported with #s to the left [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 19801 reply_id: 77487[/import]
Ok, so maybe I’m still dumb, but I can’t see the link for: “previous submissions”… I’ll take another look… [import]uid: 76436 topic_id: 19801 reply_id: 77542[/import]
Hi Peach, I just resubmitted the bug (just to be sure), and I didn’t get a bug number, and there’s nowhere that I can find on the bug page that will let me search for previous bugs. I don’t have “Premium Support”. Does that make a difference?
For the record, the title of the bug is:
“Graphical resources failing on Android platform (duplicate)”
Thanks again for your help. I really need this resolved if I’m going to hit my next development schedule…
Of course, it could be PEBCaK (Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard)
Cheers,
Alan

Sorry - no idea what is up with that. (Maybe it’s a new feature that is still being tested and thus not visible from non-staff accounts? I don’t know. I’m theorizing now.)
Doing a search for the bug now…
11260 is the bug number.
Will pass it along [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 19801 reply_id: 77698[/import]
How big are the images that appear as black rectangles? I ran into what sounds like the same issue a while back when I was experimenting with very large image sizes. It sounds like a problem with using too much memory on android device. [import]uid: 38820 topic_id: 19801 reply_id: 77726[/import]
