Particle.Maui not working on .NET 7.0 .NET Android (works fine on Windows)

[Bebz0r]

Hello there,

I'm having trouble using Particle.Maui on Android : it works flawlessly on Windows but nothing is shown on Android.

Here is what I did : Created a new MAUI .NET 7.0 App Added the NuGet Particle.MAUI 1.0.3 Added the .UseSkiaSharp() in the MauiProgram.cs Added the namespace to the mainpage.xaml : xmlns:particle="clr-namespace:Particle.Maui;assembly=Particle.Maui" Added the particle viewport Launched on Windows : works Launched on Android : do not work : the app is launched but no particles appear - no error messages

The code is fairly simple : MauiProgram.cs using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging; using SkiaSharp.Views.Maui.Controls.Hosting;

namespace TestParticles;

public static class MauiProgram { public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp() { var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder(); builder .UseMauiApp() .UseSkiaSharp() .ConfigureFonts(fonts => { fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular"); fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold"); });

if DEBUG

    builder.Logging.AddDebug();

endif

    return builder.Build();
}

}

And the MainPage.xaml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" xmlns:particle="clr-namespace:Particle.Maui;assembly=Particle.Maui" x:Class="TestParticles.MainPage">

<Grid VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
      BackgroundColor="White"
      Margin="0 ,0, 0, 5">

<particle:ParticleView x:Name="MyParticleCanvas"
                        IsActive="True"
                        IsRunning="True"
                        HasFallingParticles="True"
                        FallingParticlesPerSecond="20"
                        Margin="0, 20"
                        VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"
                        HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
</Grid>

The MainPage.cs is nearly empty : namespace TestParticles;

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage { // Started a new .NET MAUI Projet (.NET 7 - same result with .NET 6) // Added the NuGet Particle.MAUI 1.0.3 // Added the .UseSkiaSharp() in the MauiProgram.cs // Added the namespace to the mainpage.xaml : xmlns:particle="clr-namespace:Particle.Maui;assembly=Particle.Maui" // Added the particle viewport / <particle:ParticleView x:Name="MyParticleCanvas" FallingParticlesPerSecond="25.0" IsActive="True" IsRunning="True" HasFallingParticles="True" Margin="0, 20" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" InputTransparent="True"/> / public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); }

I created a GitHub example : https://github.com/Bebz0r/TestParticles

I tried with version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 to no avail.

Any ideas ?

Cheers, Beb

Wait up, it may be something linked to my device : animations suddently stopped to work on my device, and this for all MAUI .NET applications, even the ones previously installed. No idea why.

That was my fault, my device was in battery saver mode, and animations don't play if that's the case. So this is not an issue. Sorry about that.
