[APP][Pro] DataVista

@Erikvl87 , I posted this message in the Dashboard tread earlier:

@Bernd_Gaykema

I have two identical tablets (Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T510).
One has only dashboard widgets which are being offered by Athom, the other has a mix of Athom and DataVista widgets.

The one with only Athom widgets uses Devices, Insight, Logic and Camera widgets. This tablet is very, very stable. For over one week the screen shows my dashboard stable and steady.

The other is a disaster, one to two hours, no longer, than the Homey app stops working.
I use the simple gauge, label, progress bar, line chart and status badge.

With this in mind, can you conclude that Datavista widgets are no good? No, I don’t think so. I love these widgets more than the “original” ones. But the integration with Homey needs some improvements…

I use the Homey Android test version 9.2.0
Datavista is version 0.10.2

This sounds like an issue with the DataVista widgets. Android has currently no issue with any of the Homey widgets (at least not that we are aware of). We have seen that certain app widget can cause certain Android devices to show similar behaviour when using features like the canvas api. The app developer should take this into account when developing a widget.

Many times when I wanted to view my Energy Dashboard it shows the Android Home page…
Maybe your implementation with the canvas api is not fully correct. Maybe this helps you to make your beautiful app more stable.
