iOS animation view not showing sometimes about lottiexamarin HOT 10 CLOSED

Have you tried with the no extra layouts?

I'm not an expert by any means, but when I added the view on my app it was compressed like that, not because it wasn't playing, but it was losing a constraint fight somewhere.

Yup i had moved it out so it wasnt as nested in other views and i could see the animation view in ios so there was no problem. But there is a problem that it does get compressed when nested in more or certain views situations.

Unfortunately the code snippet above was just to prove the point, in my code where i have the animation i dont have the fortune that i can move the animation view out. This should or one would expect to work regardless of how nested.

but can you place it inside of a view that has an enforced size? Maybe you are having problems with the nested stack layouts (both of which are vertical it looks like) ?

Maybe you can use an absolute/relative layout so that the parent view has a specified size even if the child (LottieView) doesn't know how big it should be?

I'm having this same issue. On certain pages it just doesn't show up. It seems if you have it nested within more than 2-3 layouts it doesn't show up. I tried giving it an exact size too and it didn't work either. I can see a background color if I add one though which is weird.

Also, there seems to be issue with tab pages too. Doesn't seem to want to work on any tab, but the first one.

Hello,

I'm having this behavior too only on iOS. For what I've seen it seems that it does not show in a particular flow.

For example, I got a loading lottie file playing when calling a rest service, and sometimes the lottie file does not show on iOS after being already played (but the layout is never changing at all, so its not the cause). Seems that showing the lottie file multiple times after showing one is causing the lottie animation not to be shown/played.

I think this is related to #132

Hello all,
No news about that ?

Not from me sorry.

You still have this behavior ?

My usage is quite simple, w/o nested layout in a single Rg.Plugin.PopUpPage, or something complex, still the lottie animation shows only a few times. I also have this prob on simple content pages, so I don't think this is happening because of the previous written package :

 public LoadingPage(string textLoading)
        {
            var activityIndicator = new AnimationView
            {
                Animation = "loader.json",
                Loop = true,
                AutoPlay = true,
                WidthRequest = 120,
                HeightRequest = 120
            };

            var mainLayout = new StackLayout
            {
                Orientation = StackOrientation.Vertical,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand,
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand
            };

            var labelLoading = new MR.Gestures.Label
            {
                TextColor = Color.Orange,
                Text = textLoading,
                HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center,
                VerticalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center
            };

            mainLayout.Children.Add(activityIndicator);
            mainLayout.Children.Add(labelLoading);
            CloseWhenBackgroundIsClicked = false;

            Content = mainLayout;
        }

@LeoJHarris

I found out that setting autoplay to false on iOS and calling Play() method in the OnAppearing method of the page does fix the prob

@Umar3x Haven't tested that yet, did you simplify the layout for the above working solution?
