It is entirely possible (even likely) that i messed something up in SWeatherRadar, but another app getting focused is what makes me report this.

Launching the app without other apps open works.

Now i just had the reverse thing happen. SPlay launched SWeatherRadar, and it wasn’t even at the first position in the multitasking view. What is going on?

I cannot say what is causing the problem on your phone. However, on my X10/4.0.1.45, SWeatherRadar opens up in less than one second. So there should not be any epidemic around.

I played around a bit more with it this morning, and to me it seems it happens with any combination of two noarch apps.
The first out of SWeatherRadar/S’Play/S’'Play launches pretty fast, but any second app out of those will not launch and display this behaviour.
Haven’t had time to check for other people’s noarch-apps, due to work.

Are any of the official Jolla apps noarch?

Additional info: this is just about as fresh of an install as it gets.

Edit: same with “Cargo” which is PyOtherside.

I can reproduce the issue on my XA2 too. Sure, that has a lot more cruft on it, but still.

This is our bug description:

DESCRIPTION:

Having one sailfish-qml app open and trying to launch another focuses the previously started application

PRECONDITIONS:

Install 2 QML only apps, for example S’Play and SWeatherRadar

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Open first application
  2. Push it to homescreen
  3. Open second application

EXPECTED RESULT:

Second application starts and gets focus

ACTUAL RESULT:

Second application does not start. Instead, the first application started gets the focus.

I wasn’t aware of the S’Play app previously. It turned out to be a cool one. A good way for me to practise my ear for Swedish (so many Skåne people!) and listen to the news from Sverige.

Glad you like it! It was one of my Devember 2018 projects (together with Tint). Basically made out of pure selfish necessity, as the official app had started breaking with Android 4.4, and i use it every day. Fortunately SR has a pretty easy open API, while not entirely well-structured.
