Apparently there is a bug with the image component. It doesn’t matter where the images come from (assets, external storage). The loading of the images takes between 4 and 83 seconds. Tested on various devices with Android 8, 9.
Note: I repeated these tests again later in the evening and found that the results could hardly be reproduced. The delayed display of the image was still there, but minimal. This morning, however, the problems could be reproduced again. I have no idea what exactly was / is the cause. I suspect it is related to the stability / quality of the WiFi. When the WiFi is diabled, the problems do not arise. (No internet is required in my test APK.)
To work around this issue (bug) (until there is a fix), you have 2 options:
Place the image(s) in an arrangement as a background image
I’ve found systematically that I have the slowest load speeds for the images between midnight and noon (i’m in South América), don’t know if it’s maybe a server issue and most of Kodular apps are in the other side of the world (India). I don’t know. Just a thought.
I think cause of the probem is that, when internet connection is off then images loads form assets while when it is on it loads from the kodular server assets, because if someone not give the permission for storage it directly loads from the server, thats why if internet turned off images load instantly from the storage not from interent.
thanks for such testing, now im going to check for wifi extension but you provided it, thanks for it…
But I’m really curious as to why it works when WiFi is disconnected.
And how can this behavior be explained?
I did these tests on serveral devices with the same result. @Mika said that “had nothing to do with internet connection or else”, but there must be a reason for that behavior. I like to get to the bottom of things.
