Error - Hello World in Chrome and Firefox on Samsung GS5

CesiumJS
41

Hi,

I also patched the 1.8 version with the workaround for Samsung devices (S5, Note3, etc…) and maybe some other devices according to the comments.
Here are the commands I used to patch 1.7.1 and 1.8 versions of CesiumJS.
The patched versions work fine, with Firefox, Chrome and the Chromium webview embedded in my “Crosswalk” based application.
Enjoy.

#Checkout the latest version of CesiumJS:
git clone https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium.git
cd cesium
git tag -l | grep 1.
git checkout tags/1.8

#Search for the file to patch: result is Context.js
grep -R -H -n “this._vertexArrayObject = getExtension(gl,” Source/

#Patch the Context.js
sed -i -e “s|this._vertexArrayObject = getExtension(gl,|//this._vertexArrayObject = getExtension(gl,|g” Source/Renderer/Context.js

#Build everything
ant && ant minifyRelease && ant buildApps

It appears that this problem has not been resolved, accessing the hello world on my Droid Maxx still shows the smearing.

Are there plans to resolve it or details of what devices/android versions have the problem?

Thanks, Ian

Is anyone else seeing this issue still on Android devices?

Hello Ian,

Everything looks fine from my Galaxy S6.

What browser are you using? Try downloading Chrome if you’re not using that already. That seems to work the best on Android.

Best,

Hannah,

The tile smearing still occurs with version 1.20 on some devices even using Chrome.

One we use to test with is a Droid Maxx and it has always had the issue unless we rebuilt with the patch that someone kindly posted previously.

Thanks

Hello Ian,

Is this happening with the hello world default example, or are you using a custom imagery provider? Do you see this on desktop computers also, or just on andriod?

Thanks,

Hannah,

On android with chrome using any example or imagery provider.

There was a patch that worked previously but it does not work now as the section of code to be modified has been removed,

Regards

Ian
