Chat and community page views are blank

Chat and community room list("My rooms"/"Other rooms") views can be blank when you switch to them.

I can't reproduce this on known-stable 3.1.2(in production for years) but the latest version in this repo ~3.2.0 has this problem.

Perhaps it is caused by building with a later Android API version, etc.

I have been able to easily reproduce in the emulator as well. The 3.2.0-0ff8428f on beta currently exhibits the issue if you want to see it on device

An interesting point is that the chat view uses a web frame but the community room list is native Android UI

Chat Community room list

Temporary workaround

I can get the view to show again if I go to another community page(open the left-swipe menu, pick a community) and switch between. Once the community page shows, you can click on the room you want to see the chat for. But this is a very tenuous fix


cc @jlenny, this is a blocker for pushing something to production
