Android Question Screen Drawing Problem

A user of mine purchased a
Samsung tablet model number SM-T530NU

Android OS: 5.0.2 API: 21

And says my software is having a screen drawing problem

He sent me a video which is too big to upload but here are 3 frames from it showing the problem



Left hand corner looks like it is not drawing properly but rest looks ok.
Then he clicks on button



And the screen turns to above while a new Activity is loading (cause by his click)



Then this screen seems to be perfect.


I have NO idea how to debug this or if this is even my problem.

I 130 users (I know wow what a lot) on a lot of different android / chromebook devices and not have reported this type of problem. I myself have 5 different Samsung devices and have never seen this.

ANY Help - Anyone

I am using Holo for everything

B4X: 
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/HoloTheme")

CreateResource(values-v20, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style
        name="HoloTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
    </style>
</resources>
)
CreateResource(values-v14, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style
        name="HoloTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
    </style>
</resources>
)

If I use any other Theme the FileDialog colors are never right.

I know there is a replacement but I don't like it.

I am working on my own replacement and didn't seem to have any problems until now

Hard to believe we can't use a common theme across all versions.

Changed it yesterday:

B4X: 
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/BBSTheme")

CreateResource(values-v20, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style
        name="BBSTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material">
    </style>
</resources>
)
CreateResource(values-v14, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style
        name="BBSTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
    </style>
</resources>
)


PS: Just heard from the user that this fixed the problem.

I don't know how you and my Wife handle being right all the time.
Must be such a burden LOL

Thanks BobVal
