APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Initial WL app on device with busy indicator showing and then
  direct update notification comes; update the app and after
  update finishes, the busy indicator is still showing and does
  not hide, which makes the app hanging on the page and stops
  the app and customer to the next steps.
  This problem happens every time on both android and iOS and
  different types of mobile devices.
  

Local fix

• Add the following code at the end of busyIndicatorShowApp.js:
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  var _wl_update = WL.App.__update;
  WL.App.__update = function(shouldUpdateSilently) {
  busy.hide();
  _wl_update.bind(WL.App)(shouldUpdateSilently);
  };
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Developers are not notified that a direct update process is  *
  * about to begin.                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Worklight client doesn't send notifications that a direct    *
  * update process is about to begin and therefore are unable to *
  * take custom actions (like hide a busy indicator).            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is fixed by firing a custom event
  WL.Events.BEFORE_DIRECT_UPDATE, which can be handled at the
  document level ($(document).on(WL.Events.BEFORE_DIRECT_UPDATE,
  function() {....}).
  

Temporary fix
