@kelson42 The ANR on this issue is being caused by runblocking which is blocking the main thread and hence causing the crash. We have a discussion with @MohitMaliFtechiz on how to fix the bug but it involves a couple of changes and might also involve a bit of changes to the UI. I wanted to put this down so you could know on the changes that would result in fixing this issue.

[kelson42]

@CalebKL Thank you for keeping us informed. Would you be able to wrapup here the few changes you have in mind? One assessed by @MohitMaliDeveloper you could move forward. It's one of the last issue of the current milestone.

[CalebKL]

We would change the CustomReaderFragment and maybe have a progress bar to show the user when they are waiting for the article to load. I will work on the PR as soon as possible and send for review.

[kelson42]

@MohitMaliFtechiz What do you think? I don't remember us to remove the article loading progressbar?

[MohitMaliFtechiz]

@CalebKL We have to show the progress in CoreReaderFramgment not in CustomReaderFagment. CoreReaderFragment is the base class for both KiwixReaderFragment and CustomReaderFragment. So we have to show the progress there when the zimFIleReader creation is in progress until the creation is not completed so that user can know about what is going on.

@MohitMaliFtechiz What do you think? I don't remember us to remove the article loading progressbar?

No, we have not removed the article loading progresBar.
