Android Question API24 "Bring To Front"

[rthyoung26]

I have an app with buttons that simply loads a webview with an associated URL and pops up a webview with "Bring To Front". With a Target API up to and including API23 it works perfectly. The Webview comes to front and buttons disappear, If Target is API24, the buttons remain on top and visible. Only way I have found to fix it is to manually hide each button and bring them back when needed. Has something changed in API24 to stop "Bring To Front" from working as expected?

Put WebView in a panel and set its Elevation property to 2dip or more.

That will definitely work but why does the Bring To Front no longer work properly in API24. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

It is due to the changes in Android.
See the Android Changelog history for android 5 (i think it was 5)

BringToFront doesn't change the elevation property, it only changes the views order.
