Toast flashes on screen tap with Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 Edge

[ds8k]

Expected behaviour

Toast displays until provided time elapses

Actual behaviour

If I tap the screen the toast begins to flash in and out until the time elapses

I'm seeing this behaviour on

• [ ] iOS device
• [ ] iOS sim
• [x] Android device
• [ ] Android sim

Hardware models

Samsung Galaxy S6 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

OS versions

Android 5.1.1, 6.0.1

I'm not a dummy, so I've checked these

• [x] It happens on a fresh Cordova CLI project as well.
• [x] I'm waiting for deviceready to fire.
• [x] My JavaScript has no errors (window.onerror catches nothing).

So how can we reproduce this?

I'm running the following code in the Chrome console and experiencing this:

window.plugins.toast.showWithOptions(
    {
      message: "Testing",
      duration: 9999,
      position: "bottom",
      addPixelsY: -40,
      data: {'foo':'bar'}
    },
    function(result) {
        console.log('result', result);
    },
    function(error) {
        console.error('error', error);
    }
);

I've created a fresh Cordova application with the following steps:

$ cordova -v
6.3.1

  135  cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
  136  cd hello/
  137  cordova platform add android
  138  cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-x-toast
  139  cordova prepare
  140  cordova run android

and can confirm the same behavior occurs here.

Can you debug it or at least record a video of what's going on? I've tried many emulators and devices, even a new Nexus 6P with Android 7, but it's all just fine with your code sample.

[ds8k]

Yup, no issues on any of my other phones except for these recent Samsung devices.

[EddyVerbruggen]

@ds8k Really appreciate your attempt to clarify this for me but I'm not sure this is entirely clear. However, before continuing.. can you remove the include of the css file so it's all blank and ugly - and see if the same problem occurs?

[ds8k]

Same behavior with the CSS include removed. If I trigger the toast and don't touch the screen it displays and goes away after the specified time. If I trigger it, then tap the screen, it begins to flash.

Let me know if I can provide any other information.

[EddyVerbruggen]

That's clear. I need someone with a similar device to test this as I don't have one and none of my devices have this issue.

[Rakonda]

I can confirm this issue on Samsung Galaxy S5 - Android 5.1.1, the same behaviour as declared above.

[dev-akash01]

any update on this issue, I am also facing this issue on samsung s6 and s7

[TimeTravelersHackedMe]

This issue is also present on the S9
