Hello.
I have been told that my standalone behaves differently, with regard to MobilPick command, in Android 11 devices.

In a Android 7 phone the menuPick displays the following window, which is correct: In Android 11 (Xiaomi mi note 10) the same window is this, with white text over white background (which is unreadable): Does this has to do with dark theme?
But, more important, is there a way to have the same view on both system?

Thanks for any help.

I suspect you're right that the problem is dark mode. The same thing used to happen on iOS until LC added a "Support dark mode" option in iOS standalone settings. That fixed it. Since Android has only recently introduced system-wide dark mode there is no support in the Android standalone settings for it. I think this will need a bug report.

For now the only workaround I can think of is to create your own picker as a group on the card. Not great, I know.

I tested the standalone on Android 11 emulator, set to dark mode in the OS setting, but the menu pick is just fine.
So, either this happens only on hardware, or there is something else to it.

I don't use the emulator because it's slow and it doesn't always reflect actual hardware. If you have an Android device, that would be a good test. But either way, a feature request in the QCC would be a good idea.

Mostly I don't use the mobile picker on Android because I think it looks ugly, so my experience is limited.

I have tried the same mobile pick on an android 12 phone and everything is fine, even in dark mode.
So, could this be related only to android 11 phisical devices (that I don't have) with dark mode enabled?
Anybody willing to try a test?
I there any fix we could implement, beside avoiding the mobile pick command?
Thanks

I just tried it on a Pixel 6 running Android 12 with dark mode turned on, and mobilePick looks fine here too. I wonder if it is hardware-specific to the phone that particular user has? Or maybe the version of Android?

The android 11 guy confirmed that setting the dark mode to off, resolves the problem

Interesting. I wonder if it was a glitch in Android 11 that got fixed in 12. Like you, I no longer have OS 11 any more.
