Description
DESCRIPTION:
Navigating to an Image file causes it to begin downloading. If the user clicks the image during the download (or sometimes this happens automatically) they are taken to a black screen to wait for it to load. If it is a large file they will wait on this black screen for a long time with no idea if anything is happening.
REPRO STEPS:
- Install and Launch LBRY 0.16.11 on Android 8.1.0
- Navigate to a large Image
- While it's download, tap the image multiple times
Results: User is taken to a black screen
Expected: Picture doesn't attempt to display until it's fully downloaded
ENVIRONMENT:
- LG V20
- Android 8.1.0
- LBRY 0.16.11
