Infinite crash loop when using Nextcloud directory for recordings #100

Open candroid-man opened 3 months ago

candroid-man commented 3 months ago

If you select a Nextcloud folder in Alibi the app gets in a state where you can't open the app until you reinstall it.

I looked a little bit at this. I was able to fix the crashing part. It shouldn't crash anymore with the next update.

However, the real problem is still: Why doesn't Nextcloud work with Alibi? I found a few issues related to this (https://github.com/alexrintt/shared-storage/issues/151, https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/8201, https://github.com/nextcloud/android/issues/8336). I'll try and see if there's a way to make Alibi work with Nextcloud. However, it looks like this may not be possible. From what I've understood, the problem is that when writing a file, the file needs to be saved in a different thread than main. I don't know if this can be accomplished in the way how Alibi works with files. I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee for success :/

I get infinite crashing also but when using an external SD card. I just don't wanna waste write cycles on this phone's internal eMMC
