Hi I have had the same problem Using old and very new android devices, where the program will give a blank/black screen on different versions of Android with no ryme or reason.
Sometimes it works on and older version of android with older hardware and fails on a phone or tablet with say the oreo version although the program only needs a minimum of 4.1. and the api is correct. The same android on different hardware might or might not work (black screen no errors reported no "crash") YMMV.
