Question

AIR 3.8 containsVideo is causing black screen at app start on some tablets

When I put <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> in the android tag within the app.xml than the app starts with a black screen at startup on:

- Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

- Galaxy Tab 10.1

When I tap the screen the splash screen is visible for 1 second and then the screen gets black again.

On the Asus Transformer and the Sony Xperia the app just works fine. Any suggestions?

On AIR 3.7 it also works fine for the Galaxy Tab devices.

Hello every body!

I made a solution to solve this problem on my applications.

It works fine.

This is the debugger code on gitHub : MESepehr/BlackScreenBug · GitHub

And this is the reported bug on adobe bugbase: Bug#4026075 - Black Screen on Android 4.1+ : GPU mode with Camera or Video

    I just encountered the same issue after updating my Galaxy S4 to Android 4.3. Before that my app worked fine with StageVideo but after the update I started getting a black screen after the app launched.

    I finally removed the containsVideo tag from the manifest to solve the problem.

    Can it be the GPU? The Galaxy Tabs have a PowerVR GPU and the other two have a Geforce.
