Android Question Sliding Drawer unresponsive after a screen snapshot with B4XView?

[Peter Finch]

My App uses the sliding drawer as per AppCompat and a Screen snapshot - all works exactly as expected with the sliding drawer, until I do a PrtSc (activity snapshot). The items on the sliding drawer then fail to respond for a period - I cant decide if it is for a time (propbably not) or until I slide the draw in an out/press on the hamburger or do a long press, but after some time they become responsive again - any ideas - I tried a sleep(0) before the PrtSc to no avail.
The PrtSc routine is:

Sub PrtSc_Click
    'capture screenshot
    Dim download As String = File.DirRootExternal & "/Download/"
    DateTime.DateFormat = "yyyyMMdd-HHmmss"
    Dim x As B4XView = Activity 'XUI library
    Dim bmp As Bitmap = x.Snapshot
    Dim out As OutputStream = File.OpenOutput(download, DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now) & ".jpg", False)
    bmp.WriteToStream(out, 80, "JPEG")
    out.Close
    ToastMessageShow("Snapshot in Download folder",True)

and the sliding drawer:

Sub Globals
    Private ACToolBarLight1 As ACToolBarLight
    Private ToolbarHelper As ACActionBar
    Private Drawer As B4XDrawer
    Private ListView1 As ListView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Drawer.Initialize(Me, "Drawer", Activity, 300dip)
    Drawer.CenterPanel.LoadLayout("1")
    ToolbarHelper.Initialize
    ToolbarHelper.ShowUpIndicator = True 'set to true to show the up arrow
    Dim bd As BitmapDrawable
    bd.Initialize(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "hamburger.png"))
    ToolbarHelper.UpIndicatorDrawable =  bd
    ACToolBarLight1.InitMenuListener
    Drawer.LeftPanel.LoadLayout("Left")
    For i = 1 To 10
        ListView1.AddSingleLine("Line " & i)
    Next
    
    Dim b As Button
    b.Initialize("PrtSc")
    b.Text = "PrtSc"
    ACToolBarLight1.AddView(b, 60dip, 40dip, Gravity.RIGHT)

End Sub

What am I doing wrong/leaving out? I tested with a modified AppCompat attached.

It's all working here. Run the app, take a snapshot (or multiple snapshots), then go to the menu and select items, they responds instantly in both Debug and release modes. I can do this all day with absolutely no issues or delay in your app. I can go from snapshots to clicking on menu items time after time after time with no issues, everything is responding as expected.

Tested on both Pixel 4 XL and 5 XL devices.

Are you using the newest libraries available/B4A 10.70?

Thank you for your testing - yes mine works fine when tested on a Moto G5s running Android 8.1 but the problem is with my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro running Android 10 with MIUI 12.04. I have found that if I jiggle the drawer back and forth responsiveness returns! I found other aspects of my App which worked on Oreo need tweaking on Q10 (eg. Bluetooth needs permission for PERMISSION_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, not just COARSE as on Oreo - Off topic, I know). B4A 10.70, libraries all the same version as online, specifically B4XDrawer 1.55, XUI 2.10. You have a Pixel 5XL - do you mean 5S? What Android version - 11?
PS. there is a funny midge stuck inside my screen (thought I was back in Malawi) ?, and B4A is quite wonderful ?

Both my devices are running Android 11 with absolute no issues whatsoever. I would expect our to run shortly on a Moto 5G, but I've had huge problems with cheaper Huawei and Xiaomi devices in the past.

Did you test your code on the Xiaomi in release mode?

Sorry not Pixel 5 XL (which does not exist) I meant to say Pixel 5.

Thanks - yes the "issue" exists in both debug and release mode - More experimenting shows that after a PrtSc, the drawer will only respond if I jiggle it back and forth. Maybe it is a Xiaomi "feature" then. NOT(Sinophobe) = TRUE!
