Widgets not working in Android

I haven’t seen others mention this so it's likely my problem, but I cannot get ANY of the widgets to work with Android. They do work on the desktop (Windows 10) but when I test on either an Android emulator or directly on my Nexus 5 I get nothing. Some (header, segmented, switch, navbar, etc.) show grey backgrounds where they are positioned; others (clock, graph, browser) show nothing at all.

So I’m getting no graphics, no functional touch controls, just blank screen. Normal controls (buttons, grids, etc.) work fine. I’m running the latest Community 8.0 (no new updates available). My Android is 6.0.1 (Marshmallow.)

Thanks for any hints about what I’m missing.

Hi Ron,

currently you need to check all used widgets manually on the "Copy files" tab in the standalone builder settings!
LC will automate this in one of the next versions!


Best
