Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I have a problem
I want to create a app for Android 4.2 support. But after building my app, when I run the app, after the splash screen, the page becomes completely white.
If I use “android-minSdkVersion”=19 and use cordova android@7, that’s all right and Works.
please guide me

To go that far back you might want to look at cakewalk.
It’s out of support but still newer than the browser baked into Android 4.2

Can you in any way collect a log or any other error message?

White screen means something went wrong of course. Try running ionic service on this specific device and connect using chrome dev tools to read console.

I’m confused, can you explain more?
:confused:

The cakewalk plugin makes use of the WebKit browser as a plugin into your application. Google it.
On Android version < 5 the web browser used is whatever comes with the operating system. That’s obviously not great as none of the hardware acceleration is available. Even though cakewalk has been out of development for a while it’s still better than Android < 5
