I need help understanding how html files work with android live test

Questions about Thunkable
1

Hello

I am a total beginner with Thunkable X; and have no prior experience with Thunkable Classic. I have some Javascript, HTML, Python, and CSS experience.

I am trying to test the boundaries of incorporating script, html, and css in Thunkable for the purposes of UI design only (at this point - not external API). I have searched the community discussions, goggled, read the documentation, and watched numerous YouTube videos. I am still confused.

Below are links to two experimental test projects: one is a simple html file as an asset linked to the WebViewer url; the other has HTML code written into the blocks and much more complicated.

My main question is this: Why is it that htmlTest works on my android during live test but htmlTest2 does not? By not working, I mean I just get a white screen

For me it seems that If I don’t code the html in the blocks, I get a white screen or I get an error message about unauthorized access. If I could utilize html code as a file asset and have the ability to view it on my android during live test, it would save a lot of time. Coding the blocks was tedious and I have to believe that it is my inexperience with Thunkable that’s creating my problem.

If anyone can point me to a resource or maybe knows the answer, I would be extremely grateful. I am working on an app but don’t want to get too far into the project until I have an understanding on this issue.

I hope that I followed the proper protocol in posting this topic. The links are below:

Hello,

Everything is very simple. This is a question for developers.

On iOS, there is no such error and the page is displayed well.

How is it tested on Android?

I checked it in the Memu play emulator. For the purity of the experiment, I created a simple html-file and opened it.

If you know how to use the adb debugger, you can try to see the launch logs of your application on Android.

Thanks I will learn how to use the the adb debugger and take it from there. Thanks for the timely reply.

Enable “USB debugging” first on your device.

I am totally stumped on this issue!

It’s not just my html files that won’t display on my Android during live test. I found projects that other’s have posted and I still get a blank white screen. Is anyone having the same problem with x.thunkable with the android?

Have you tried installing the app on your device @CG_Tech? Does it behave any differently for you?
