Native Web Pop Up - Clear Previously Viewed Content?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I use native web pop ups for a gallery feature of an application I am building. Basically you tap a thumbnail and it loads some local HTML content with a piece of art some information about the art and artist below it.

On my device (only tested on iPhone 4 so far) each time I load a new native web pop up it briefly flashes from the previously loaded content to the new piece of content.

Is there a way to clear out the previously viewed content each time native.cancelWebPopup() is called to avoid that quick Flash of the previous content each time a new pop up is opened?

I have the same experience. It’s not that big of a deal to me, as I’m only using Web Popups as my in-game help system at the moment (aside from Facebook Connect), but I would definitely like to know this one too if anyone can shed some light on the issue.

Has anyone out there figured out a workaround for this?
It’s the last bug I have before shipping out v1 to the App Store. [import]uid: 4621 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 5611[/import]

This is a bug. # 913.

@LiveToCollect, I believe I have a fix, so can you e-mail a sample test case to bugs@anscamobile.com so our QA team can verify this has been fixed properly. Please reference #913 in the e-mail. thanks. [import]uid: 26 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 5637[/import]

Any news about this issue. Is there a workaround? [import]uid: 6661 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 9240[/import]

@Lourenco: This has been fixed in the latest SDK release, as well as the latest Game Edition (2010.109). Web Popups work beautifully now. In addition to clearing previously viewed content, the loading graphic (the round loading thing) now appears in the middle of the web popup rather than in the far left corner as it did in previous releases.

Overall, the web popups have greatly improved in the latest releases of the SDK. [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 9243[/import]

This should be fixed in the current download. Which version are you using? [import]uid: 26 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 9244[/import]

The issue still exists for local content:

@LiveToCollect: My latest release, Dungeon Tap uses local content and I’m not having the issues anymore. I’m using Game Edition 2010.109 [import]uid: 7849 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 9291[/import]

Thanks for that. I don’t use Game Edition, but cool - hopefully they’ll update the issue’s status from ‘needs review’ to solved soon then. I’ll grab the latest Corona download and build from that. [import]uid: 4621 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 9292[/import]

Ok, going to download the latest game edition and check this. Thanks for your help. [import]uid: 6661 topic_id: 1827 reply_id: 9300[/import]
