gauravg568 over 8 years ago

When trying to pick a group using a group picker from my Android device (either my tablet or smartphone native Android application), the Appian application stops. However, I'm able to successfully submit the form from the Web Browser, as well as my Apple iPad. I recently found out that this is a known issue. Instead of replacing the group picker with a dropdown field, is there any other way to get the group picker to work on Android devices?

Definition for one of the pickers is as follows:
a!pickerFieldGroups(
label: "To",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
maxSelections: 1,
groupfilter: cons!CC_ALL_DEPARTMENT_GROUP,
value: if(
isnull(
ri!correspondence_cdt
),
null,
apply(
fn!topeople,
apply(
rule!CC_transformTextToUserOrGroup,
ri!correspondence_cdt.toUserOrGroups
...

Hi Gaurav,
Instead of dropdown, try with a!pickerFieldCustom component with proper logic. The component will work like a group picker.

Yes Rahul, the a!pickerFieldCustom component is working like the group picker. Tested it for both android and ios (offline as well).

By offline I meant, that for the android app, when choosing a group using a custom picker, the Appian native android app is not crashing.
