WAB - Splash Screen

RickeyFight — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 23:21:39 GMT

I am getting some weird behavior.

My splash screen works in the builder but when I launch the webapp or download it to my server it will not display the splash screen.

Builder:

Launched Webapp:

Here is the config.json

I did not change any code so I would think it would work. I am not getting any errors in the console log either.

      {
        "uri": "widgets/Splash/Widget",
        "position": {
          "relativeTo": "browser"
        },
        "version": "2.0.1",
        "id": "widgets_Splash_Widget_29",
        "name": "Splash",
        "label": "Splash",
        "config": "configs/Splash/config_Splash.json"
      },

      {
          "uri": "widgets/Splash/Widget",
          "visible": true,
          "position": {
            "relativeTo": "browser"
          },
          "version": "2.0.1"
        },

Do you have any suggestions or things I can try?

Thanks

Ricky,

Your two code blocks in your post, which is which? Have you tried putting a break point in the Splash Widget.js code to see if you are getting to it?

Hi Rickey,

I guess the following option is not turned on for your splash screen:

Robert those two blocks are the ones that refer to the splash widget in \server\apps\3\config.json

Rickey,

So that is strange that you have the splash referred to twice in the config.json. When I add the splash widget I only have this one object in the config.json:

      {
        "uri": "widgets/Splash/Widget",
        "position": {
          "relativeTo": "browser"
        },
        "version": "2.1",
        "id": "widgets_Splash_Widget_14",
        "icon": "widgets/Splash/images/icon.png?wab_dv=2.1",
        "name": "Splash",
        "label": "Splash",
        "config": "configs/Splash/config_Splash.json"
      },

The first section is under widgetOnScreen and the other one is under mobileLayout

Rickey,

So the app was downloaded from AGOL?

Re: WAB - Splash Screen

RickeyFight — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 15:11:26 GMT

No, I created it in WAB.

I have another test app that I made and it too would not display a splash screen when I "launched" it.

Rickey,

Strange I have not come across this before.

RickeyFight — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 15:28:03 GMT

Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? should I try removing the mobileLayout part?

Re: WAB - Splash Screen

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 15:45:48 GMT

Rickey,

Yes that is something that I would try.

Have you created a brand new app with the splash for testing if it ends up with the same issue?

Re: WAB - Splash Screen

RickeyFight — Thu, 21 Jul 2016 16:05:41 GMT

I created a new app. The splash did display in builder but not launched app. I then downloaded it and it worked when deployed.

I re-downloaded the app in question and the splash screen worked when deployed. But not when launched. Maybe there is a bug not letting it be displayed.

I am not sure if deleting the mobileLayout was the solution but it works now after it was downloaded.

Thanks for you help.

Rickey - Clearing the browser cookies should make the behaviour as expected. It's a bug of the widget. It wrongly reads a previously saved cookie which tells the app not showing splash screen again. Thank you!
