[Android] [Rive renderer] Weird loading artifacts

[christophemenager]

Description

After upgrading from 8.4.0 to 9.2.1, I started to see loading artifacts on some animations that may or may not disappear after loading (it's quite random)

Provide a Repro

It appears:

• only with the rive renderer (ski renderer was working perfectly fine)
• only on android
• only when there are multiple animations loaded at once (at least 2 or more)

Expected behavior

No artifact should be seen

Screenshots

Device & Versions (please complete the following information)

• Device: Android Xiaomi Redmi 8 (but also reproduced on samsung, in production)
• OS: Android only, I don't think it's related to android version but only to the renderer
• NPM Version: 9.2.1

Additional context

I think multiple animations loading at the same time is the key to reproduce here

There is already an issue for this.

I recommend you to go back to 8.4.0

[christophemenager]

I was not entirely sure it was the same issue as the UI of the artifact does not look exactly the same, but you are probably right

FYI latest release 9.3.0 is not fixing this issue

This checkerboard issue we believe we have a fix for, but it will first need a release for the Rive Android runtime. This should be out in a few days.

Thanks @HayesGordon for the answer, glad to know there is a possible fix coming 🙏

Seems like release 10.1.4 of rive-android fixes this issue, can't wait to test this one once it's released in react-native

@HayesGordon sorry to ping you directly, but any chance you can include the latest android version in a new release? This seems like an easy fix and we could close this issue :)

[HayesGordon]

@christophemenager the release for React Native is out now.

Closing this issue as complete (tagging @csmartdalton and @ErikUggeldahl), but if anyone encounters this again after updating to Rive Android: 10.1.4, or Rive React Native 9.3.1 then please reopen and tag us.

Amazing news, thanks for the hard work to the whole Eng team 🙏
