G’day all, Newbie question, so apologies if it’s been answered before, but have searched and searched without finding the answer… I’d like my app to always open on the home tab, is there a way to do this? Currently if I close the app and reopen it brings up whatever tab/component I was on when I l…

This behavior is “normal”, not due to Glide but to Android os. When you exit an app using the device keys, it remains in cache for some time. So if you launch the app again, the system puts it back to the screen. If you close the app, kill all apps running in background, then your app will start as…

Thanks for the help Christophe, but not sure if that’s the issue. I’m viewing the app on iPhone, not android and it still picks up from wherever I left off. But what I’m after is for my users to be directed to the home tab when they first open the app. That’s where they’ll be able to register for t…

I really think the issue is about app caching by the device is. Not sure if there’s a way to automatically redirect your users to the home tab, nevertheless as a quick workaround you can add a button somewhere in your screen(s), at the top or the bottom, with a label such as “back to home” or “regis…

No worries, thanks, appreciate your advice. Unfortunately that means a lot of users might miss my main offer, so Glide may not work for me unless I can find a workaround… :frowning:

I understand, nevertheless you will have this problem with any other app or framework. When you launch your Glide app, if it has not been cached by the device os, it will start by displaying first the splash screen (with your app icon) and then will open the main tab. In your case, if you exit the…

Thanks again Christoph, much appreciated.

Hi, has someone figured out how Glide chooses which tab to open first when logging in to the app? Is there some logic behind this? @Christophe_HK mentioned that when launching the Glide app it will open the “main tab”. How does Glide know what the “main tab” is? If I understand correctly : The di…

Isn’t it the first tab (from top down to bottom) that has a matching visibility condition?

@ThinhDinh I read this and wanted it to be true. But see below. For new app opens, the default tab is always Users. I’d like it to be Home. Any suggestions? As an aside, I will vote for the feature request that allows us to select an explicit opening tab. [image]

Do you have visibility conditions on any of those other tabs?

I expanded my answer above. The only visibility condition is email is not empty. And if I inspect the data, email is def not empty, as you would expect when I have a signed-in user selected.
