</div>Perhaps we could implement something like this:<br>
- when journal is inactive (the user switches to another activity),<br>
the widget that lists all the journal entries is hidden<br>
- when the journal is activated again, the existing code will update<br>
the list of journal entries (even though it's hidden)<br>
- when the update is complete, we show the widget again<br>
<br>
This would result in the journal being blank for a short period of time<br>
but would avoid the visual flip effect. Maybe that would help?<br>
