If you was evaluating Oracle RDK UI template, probably you noticed information popup coming up, when RDK home page is loaded. Popup is loaded through showPopupBehavior listener, which is executed on Welcome page load event. Such popup is not required in practice, and usually is disabled. But as soon as you disable it, there will be layout issues with Welcome page. User information widget will not align the name and menu navigation items will not be ordered correctly:
This is not nice. And you will get such behaviour only when popup is not loaded:
I looked into it in more detail and I saw there is a second HTTP PPR request executed, when popup is loaded. It seems this second HTTP request was triggering partial response and this was forcing UI to load correctly:
Fortunately I found a simple fix for that. Need to set layout="horizontal" for springboard panelGroupLayout component located in Welcome page:
This change makes job done and now Welcome page layout is rendered correctly from the start, even without loading popup and forcing second HTTP PPR request:
There is another issue - related to panelGridLayout usage in ADF Task Flows loaded through Film Strip page. You can check my previous example about customising/extending RDK template - Extending ADF Cloud User Experience Rapid Development Kit (RDK). Let's assume use case with ADF Task Flow implementing two fragments (search and edit functionality):
Search screen renders ADF list implemented using panelGridLayout:
Navigate to edit screen:
Try to navigate back to search screen, you will get empty list displayed:
Fix is simple. RDK is using property stretchChildren="first" in FilmStrip page and this seems to break UI layout for regions with panelGridLayout component:
Remove stretchChildren="first" property from FilmStrip page, showDetailItem component assigned with id="sdi1":
With this fix applied, try to navigate from edit to search:
This time search page layout with panelGridLayout component is displayed as it should:
