Code works fine on web and using ionic serve but android build is broken

#1

I have production code deployed to the web and looking fine.

I can run the same code using ‘ionic serve’ command.

But when I run ‘ionic run android’ command - all seems good but the apk opens on my Samsung Galaxy S4 and looks vanilla - no styling - no ionic css - no angular js - just like a plain template.

Makes me think there is a path issue but cannot figure it out.

Any ideas? Do I need to target a different build api for an S4? Any pathing tricks for css and js files?

Stumped.

Thanks for any help or ideas the community can offer.

Have you debug you device. I think you have some issue in angularjs code.

Hi Virender - yes I am using the Chrome developer tools console and it shows no angular errors.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply to my question.
I appreciate your time and your help.

I have posted the index.html I am using for builds.
If you want to see the app in action you can view it here: http://podcastgrabber.com

Not pretty - my first angular/ionic app - but it works.

Thanks again for your help.

Finally noticed my files were not being loaded into the build.
This had to do with the
<base href="/"/>
I had in place for web use.

I changed it to
<base href="."/>
For use in my app and files loaded.

Now debugging some angular issues.
