Nested frames (fragments) disappear when their parent frame (fragment) is animated #6659
Closed as not planned
Description
Environment
- CLI: 5.0.2
- Cross-platform modules: 5.0.5
- Android Runtime: 5.0.0
Describe the bug
Nested frames (i.e. fragments) disappear when their parent is animated. Related to #6641 but the problem is not specific to TabView and is more general. Caused by https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36970570 -- arcane issue that Google somehow marked as obsolete & won't fix.
To Reproduce
Tap "navigate to some page" -- notice how the "Players" part of the page disappears immediately instead of transitioning away with the rest of the view.
Sample project
Playground project for reference: https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-tsc&id=BZfk8A&v=5

Reopening this issue as it could occur in a similar scenario but when navigating backwards from a nested-frame page.
To reproduce:

Note this problem can only be observed after #7011 is merged

The fix you implemented where you dispose the current fragment on
onUnloadedhas bad consequences for apps with map for example.Doing so create unecessary OpenGL redrawing (becuase the mapview is recreated on every pause/resume).
PLus running the sample app i actually cant see any issue as explaned here.
I will create a PR to remove that behavior fix. Hoping for you guys to accept it.

Closing in favor of #7772, which tracks the overhaul of Android page navigation transitions, including nested fragments that disappear while their parent animates. Several partial fixes have landed since (#6677, #8793). Please add current repros there.
