created issue #1

Oct 8, 2024 03:16PM

Library version used: 1.4.0 / 1.7.0-beta02
Devices/Android versions reproduced on:

Not OK: Pixel 6 Android 15 Beta AP41.240823.009
OK: Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Android 14
OK: Poco F5 Android 14

Android Auto version reproduced on: 12.8.643614-release / 13.0.644004-release

We have an Android Auto app which shows the details of an EV Charging Station. As the guidelines forbid the user from making payments via Auto, on "Charge"/"Laden" button tap at the Auto app, the station details screen on the handheld device is opened, where the user can then start charging their vehicle.

This was working for several years, but now on Android 15 Beta version, it is no longer working. To me there's nothing useful in the stacktrace. I can't tell whether it's a car app issue or Android 15 issue.

Code:

// building the Action
return Action.Builder()
            .setTitle(lokaliseResources.getString(R.string.android_auto_charge))
            .setBackgroundColor(CarColor.DEFAULT)
            .setOnClickListener(
                ParkedOnlyOnClickListener.create {
                    appLauncher.launchPoolDetailsInCurrentApp(carContext, pool.id)
                    screenManager.push(ChargingMessageScreen(carContext))
                }
            )
            .build()

// starting the intent
override fun launchPoolDetailsInCurrentApp(context: Context, poolId: String) {
    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
        .setData("appdeeplink://example")
        .setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
    context.startActivity(intent)
}

Hi samsadch,

In the AndroidX PDF library, the search view is animated using the WindowInsetsAnimation.Callback. If you're using the same callback in a parent view hierarchy that contains the PdfViewerFragment's container, ensure that you set the dispatchMode to DISPATCH_MODE_CONTINUE_ON_SUBTREE. This setting allows the callback to propagate further down the view hierarchy.

Without this, the callback might be consumed at an upper level, preventing it from being received by the PdfViewerFragment's container.

Actually the search view is coming but the issue is that it is showing below the Keyboard

Still there

Hey Samsad,

It seems your concern is that the search view remains behind the keyboard when it's open, instead of being positioned below it.

As mentioned in my earlier comment here, the search view won't animate correctly with the keyboard unless insets are dispatched to the PdfContainer.

For reference, you can see the search view translation logic here.

To resolve this, please ensure that the view hierarchy containing the PdfViewerFragment allows insets to propagate down the view hierarchy.

Sorry for the long delay. It is working perfectly fine with this now :). Can this be documented somewhere, please? Especially as this issue tracker is not so well indexed by Google's search in my experience.
