ionic2 slider not working on android

[kingleroyg]

Short description of the problem:

After loading a page my slider doesn't work correctly (show only 1 bullet point and slide don't work), but after resizing page, bullets have a right number and slider work correctly.

The slider works for IOS but not for android(both in serve and device)

What behavior are you expecting?

Slider not sliding

<ion-slides>
  <ion-slide>
    <h1>Slide 1</h1>

  <ion-slide>
    <h1>Slide 2</h1>
  </ion-slide>
  <ion-slide>
    <h1>Slide 3</h1>
  </ion-slide>
</ion-slides>

  The world is your oyster.
  <ion-slides #mySlider [options]="mySlideOptions">
    <ion-slide>
      <img src="img/slide1.png" />
    </ion-slide>
    <ion-slide>
      <img src="img/slide2.png" />
    </ion-slide>
    <ion-slide>
      <img src="img/slide3.png" />
    </ion-slide>
  </ion-slides>
</ion-content>

home.css

.home {

}

ion-slide img {
  height: 70vh !important;
  width: auto !important;
}

home.ts

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController, Slides } from 'ionic-angular';

@Component({
  templateUrl: 'build/pages/home/home.html'
})
export class HomePage {

  @ViewChild('mySlider') slider: Slides;

  mySlideOptions = {
    initialSlide: 0,
    loop: false,
    pager: true
  };

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController) {

  }
}

Copy the images under www/img folder.

That works for me, try and let me now!

Hi, I'm still having this issue. I can only slide after changing phone orientation or window resize.
