Lottie isn’t working for me, same goes for images, I have correctly uploaded the Lottie animation to my…app workshop…IDE? (Idk what to call the editor) and I have selected the animation and it shows up in the editor (the animation even plays it self out and loops) **but it doesn’t appear on my phone nor does it show in the companion app** it just acts if it’s not there, like no big white space it just acts as if I haven’t placed the Lottie animation

Hi there. I haven’t seen this error – can you PM me your project link so that I can replicate -

I fixed this a long time ago…
Don’t put Lottie animations in a container and mess around with the sizing options then it’ll work

Hi @Luca_B,
ok, I put it directly on the screen with flex-start, I changed it to fixed size with 200x200 (already tried 50% x50% also) and still it did not work, something missing?
Thanks
André
PS: I tried set configs (name of animation, loop and sizes) in Design and Blocks…

Hi @Luca_B,
133/5000
I tested up to the examples provided by Thunkable (stackable, gram) and none worked, could you give a verified, please!
Thank you very much

Is Android update available for your device? I ran the examples on the Android 7.1 emulator and they are animated without any problems.

If you have tried the Thunkable examples and they are not showing up on your device, then your device might have a software error, maybe it needs updating, maybe the phone does not have a good enough specs to run the animation, when you run apps do they feel slow and clunky?

I’m starting to believe that too, in Brazil my device is called LG K10 (2017), but in my daughter’s Tablet Samsung TAB A (2016) Android 5.1.1, the animations run perfectly, including the one I mounted …
I thank and apologize for the persistence

I’m now afraid / scared to use the Lottiefiles.

> This is a known issue in Android. Many Lottie animation files are created from a tool called bodymovin. A little while back that tool was updated and and started generating files in a slightly different way. These new files exposed a bug in the Android version of the 3rd party package that we (indirectly) use to render those animations. We’ve been waiting a while for that package to get updated and incorporated into Expo (one of our primary frameworks). That recently happened. We hope to be a…
