Web View Does Not reload

Hi,

In your last couple of updates on the native ES app the web view does not reload when you leave that menu item and then return. Is this a bug or is this supposed to be how this function now works? It is causing us some issues on a dynamic page where the app has to be closed then reopened to see changes, where before the user could leave the page and return within the app to see the changes.

Thanks

Mike
Hi Mike,

Yeah there are some changes in the Menu Item behaviour, previously the Drawer Item will unmount the view/page once we navigate away from it.

However after we upgraded our ES Native navigation system we opt to not unmount the view for the sake of faster loading time in the native as the the view does not need to refetch the data on every instances of navigation. And user can refresh the view/page to retrieve the latest data if needed.

But we might have overlooked it on the webview stand point as webview does not have a built in refresh functionality.

I will log this in our issue tracker and figure an appropriate solution for this.

regards,
Hasif

Hi Hasif,

Thank you for your reply. If there is a solution that would be great. Get the reasoning as on static web pages this makes perfect sense. Hopefully there is a solution that works for both instances.

Thanks

Mike
