strange, I updated my app 2 days ago, and added the use of getObscurityFlags() but it's in onUpdate(), and still I got an error now from fenix5. So what does this mean? In fenix there is no way to call getObscurityFlags? Or should I add a try/catch? Or any idea how to work around this?

The same on v3.

Yes I know is in accordance with doc but why most devices can handle it as it should be (one call onLayout to measure all and not wasting batteries on unnecessary calculations) but some not.

I don't understand, the bug is acknowledged and no fix? How is it possible?

After 2 days next developer well have the same error because is persistent.
