Screen Flickers When Using the Glide "Back" Arrow

Ask for Help
1

Hello, there seems to be an issue with glide’s back arrow function on the classic apps.

The first thing I noticed was that when I tried to navigate from a detail screen back to the home screen, I would sometimes land in an already filtered inline list for my Categories. I would have to click the home button directly (instead of using the back arrow) to be sure to get to the home page.

Then yesterday I noticed a 2nd problem where, on using the back arrow, the whole screen flickers or flashes an image (i believe the flashing image is of the screen that I was returning from).

Today I opened all of my apps and realized that it’s happening on all of my glide classic apps. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks,
Sky

Can you record a video of the behaviour? Does it happen if you use a swipe right action or the browser’s “back” arrow?

hi @ThinhDinh
I’m a noob so not sure how to attach my video. It’s an mp4 file.

Since I built the app for mobile phone use, I’m not sure about swiping actions. At the moment the problem only happens when I use the glide app “back” arrow. It seems fine if I use the phone’s back arrow.

I think this option allows you to upload a video.

If that doesn’t work, you can upload it to Google Drive and share a public link here.

Thanks for the recording. I’m not sure what can cause that problem though.

I don’t know if supposed bugs on Classic apps would be supported anymore.

ok. I reported the issue to glide so I hope they can still help me.
At the moment, hiding the back button from users is the workaround that I found.

I had made a few test apps which were sharing the same glide data tables but I just noticed that not all of the tables we being modified when I made edits. Could this be a reason for the weird flicker?
Maybe the app isn’t properly resolving the data from the 2 tables (which were supposed to be 1 table).

To state it more plainly… 3 apps are sourcing data from a table called “Categories” but when I opened App1 and made edits to the Categories table, some of those changes aren’t observed when I open App2 and view the “Categories” data table.

Do you think this can cause the weird issues? :thinking:

Edit:
nvmd. I just saw another thread that explained that the basic info would update but not the computed columns… so that explains why the tables appeared different between the apps…

still trying to brainstorm here…
