I am using react-native-weview on an app, and it works very well. But, when I introduced a custom loading screen, I noticed a very odd bug in the application of CSS to the webpage inside the webview. This is best explained via screenshots:
Before using
startInLoadingState={true}
After using
startInLoadingState={true}
Notice that the bar at the bottom of the webview has a blur effect in the first screenshot, but no blur effect in the second screenshot. The css applied to the underlying site has not changed. To reproduce, load a webpage in the webview with an element that has
-webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(20px);
and something colorful behind it (so you can see the blur effect). The URL of the page in the screenshot ishttps://review.discourse.org
.The source of the issue is that when using
startInLoadingState={true}
, the webview initially is hidden (width: 0; flex: 0
) and then shown, and this trips up the renderer. Switching to positioning the loading/error views absolutely fixes the issue.The styles for the error view and loading view are identical, so this PR merges them into one
loadingOrErrorView
style.
