Icons Not Appearing on Mobile device

Posted on by MathewM

In my gallery I have circle icon which changes colour depending on another field in my gallery (Membership_End) for whatever reason this icon works perfectly fine on my PC, but when I switch to the mobile device which I hope to run the app on (Samsung

Galaxy tab A 2018), the icon just isn't there. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Additional info: My datasource is a Cosmos Database that gets saved to a collection which is then used to populate the gallery.

Formula in icon (probably not the best but it works)

If(
 Value(ThisItem.Membership_End) = 0,
 RGBA(
 0,0,0,0
 ),
 DateValue(ThisItem.Membership_End) < Today(),
 Color.Red,
 DateDiff(
 Today(),
 ThisItem.Membership_End
 ) >= 1 && DateDiff(
 Today(),
 ThisItem.Membership_End
 ) <= 14,
 Color.Orange,
 RGBA(
 0,0,0,0
 )
)

@PowerRanger No, I have definitely published the app. Maybe it has something to do with the way the tablet interprets the date which breaks the formula?

@MathewM could be

- DateValue, TimeValue, and DateTimeValue functions in Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs

Try with applying a "fixed" Language to DateValue function. e.g."de"

@PowerRanger Thanks for the help, that hasn't fully solved the problem but it's definitely pointed me in the right direction.

I believe the problem was because of the way my tablet interpreted the date. The formula below appears to work on both browser and mobile app. Yet again, this probably isn't the most efficient solution, but it works.

If( Value( DateValue( ThisItem.Membership_End, "fr" ) ) < Value(Today()), Red, DateDiff( Value(Today()), Value( DateValue( ThisItem.Membership_End, "fr" ) ) ) >= 1 && DateDiff( Value(Today()), Value( DateValue( ThisItem.Membership_End, "fr" ) ) ) <= 14, Orange, RGBA(0,0,0,0 ) )
