    I had a masking problem in the U3D editor when platform was switched to android.
    Now I did a reimport all and this fixed the issue.
    U3D 4.6.1

    Will also point out: if your 'droid won't render anything at all, make sure the UI shaders are in the 'always included shaders' list. (The previous problem I had above turned out to be this dumb mistake! :D)

    Updated to latest Unity 4.6.2f1 and problem still occur on Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 Android 2.3 (24-bit is checked). Content that should be hidden by mask are visible. Are there any alternatives to mask for scrolling?

    I came across this issue. Where none of my UI objects that were a child of a mash would render.
    Enabling the main camera fixed it, so thanks to Yury Habets #30 for that.

    I wasn't sure what you ment by that. I changed the setting "Clear Flags" on my camera from "Don't clear" to "Depth only" that solved my problem, so I guess that's probably what you ment. Thanks!

    @Ilona correct - you have to configure the camera to clear the framebuffer.

    Hm,
    on Nabi DreamTab I am seeing UGUI masks basically not having any effect.
    Using 5.1.2f1.
    I haven't tried 5.2.1 p2 because it introduces some other issues which I'd rather fix in our next release cycle.
    I have a camera in the scene set to clear "solid color".

    update:
    Have now repro'd this issue with 5.2.1p2 as well,
    using an extremely simple test scene.
    If you want to try it, it's here on hockey.

    update:
    2DRectMask seems to work correctly on our problem device.

    I'm having this issue using Clear Flags: Skybox on the main camera.

    Using 2DRectMask solved the problem.

    Thanks elenzil.

    Have problems with mask UI , Mask works in Scene View , but doesn't in Game View. Unity 5.3.4.p5, Mac OS, Android Platform . Look at the attachments.

    UPD:
    Wow, after switching platforms to PC, WebGL, iOS and then back to Android, problem is disappear. Mask works fine .

    does unityUI use a cached Atlas for all* masks for a scene?

    Sometimes, the weirdest things fix the most complex issues. :p Didn't expect to read a triple-platform change fix today. :)

    No, there is Image component with default config, without any sprite.
