Hi guys,
I am testing jQuery Mobile 1.2.0 alpha on a Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.4.
I have noticed there is the white screen blink between transitions when I have a fixed (data-position="fixed") footer.
When I remove the data-position="fixed" from the footer, the transitions look great with no blinking in between so it certainly looks like a problem when we specify fixed positioning.
Here's my footer code
<div class="footerBar" data-role="footer" data-theme="a" data-id="mob_footer" data-position="fixed">
<div class="footer">
<ul class="nav">
<li><a class="ui-link" data-transition="slide" href="link1"><span class="ico">icon</span></a></li>
<li><a class="ui-link" data-transition="slide" href="link2"><span class="ico">icon</span></a></li>
<li><a class="ui-link" data-transition="slide" href="link3"><span class="ico">icon</span></a></li>
<li><a class="ui-link" data-transition="slide" href="link4"><span class="ico">icon</span></a></li>
<li><a class="ui-link" data-transition="slide" href="link5"><span class="ico">icon</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
I've also noticed the same problem as kumarjee.alluri where the footer is not fixed in Android 2.3, when testing again on a Samsung Galaxy S2 http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquerymobile-footer-navigation-bar-not-getting-fixed-in-2-x-version-of-android
I'm sure I've read somewhere that the Galaxy S2 has a different browser to other Android 2.3 phones so that could be why the fixed footer isn't supported on that particular phone with that particular OS version.
Thanks for giving us JQM by the way guys, it's awesome!
