Additional information

Last version from F-Droid. I just recorded very important information and this bug completely ruined it 💀💀💀

Frankly I haven't tried to reproduce it yet, but I'll do it now and then post the result here in the comments.

UPD: Tried 23+ minutes and didn't wait after pausing, didn't get an error. Continuing debugging...

I've experienced this issue ~5 times already. The longer the recording, the more chances it has to happen, but I've had it happen with recordings ~1h to ~6h, all the same. The issue will always occur when you press the "stop" button, moment in which the app either renders the error or successful save.

Happens both with .mp3 or .m4a. Broken attempts at recordings show as 0 B, both in phone's file explorer and from the recordings folder in the app. Trying to open from Voice Recorder app (by tapping the file in "Player" tab) returns java.lang.IllegalStateException error toast.

Pausing has nothing to do with the error. I've never used that feature and reproduced the error anyway.

Also experienced this error when using this app, which has almost same UI, which I guess is a fork project or an older version?: https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Voice-Recorder

I don't know Kotlin, but dig around the code trying to fix it myself since it affects me so often and it's forcing me to use other apps to record

This function last updated 4 years ago, I think it has good chances to contain the bug? I reproduce the error exactly when the stop button is pressed: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Voice-Recorder/blame/3d5de3d3df488f256afa9c7bb309371fe26c59a6/app/src/main/kotlin/org/fossify/voicerecorder/services/RecorderService.kt#L186

If this is not possible to fix, may I ask some kind of "autosave" feature? Maybe, attempt to save the recording every minute or so. So, at worst I'll lose 1min of notes. Otherwise I'm going to have to go back to whatsapp to record myself

I'd love to fix this btw but I don't know how to Android development
