Pull down controls stuck

[ggrensteiner]

Media control pull down stuck on "Playing" in android 12. Pause button works to stop the playback, but it does not start playback nor does it change to the "Play" symbol once the media is paused.

Android 12, Samsung UI 4, using current apk 0.51.2

I am also running into this issue with 0.51.2

Yea I've been seeing this behavior for a while on my device as well. Not specific to 0.51.x if my memory serves me

Android 11, OnePlus 8

I've been seeing this as for as long as I remember. I also have it completely disappear from my pulldown menu on occasion, even when a book is actively playing.

45 should resolve this- seems to do so for me at least. Will close this issue out in the next few days unless anyone reports continued issues on 0.51.3

Apk can be found on the release here: https://github.com/mattttvaughn/chronicle/releases/tag/0.51.3

can you increment the version number?

[mattttvaughn]

[hskrtich]

thanks!

Not fully resolved. At least on Android 11, the pause/play button in the notification stops being updated as soon as the app is closed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the app
2. Start playing a book
3. Note that the pause/play buttons in the notification work correctly
4. Close the app or turn off your phone

Observed:

• The pause/play button in the notification is no longer updated to reflect changes to the current book's playback state

Expected:

• The pause/play button in the notification is reflected to reflect changes to the current book's playback state

If anyone's interested in taking a look, refer to #45, which I think is probably related

I can confirm that the button does not update after pausing but would add that it also ceases to function, pressing it again does NOT resume playback.

When I get this I can use rewind 10 seconds and it fixes the button. Maybe that info will help debug

I think I found the possible cause. NotificationBuilder uses a locally stored version of the album image. When the app goes to the background the bitmap gets recycled and the NotificationBuilder tries to access the recycled bitmap, which results in "undefined behavior" and an "unhandled exception" → frozen notification, sometimes crashes

I/NotificationBuilder: Building notification! state=STATE_PAUSED, playing=false
W/Bitmap: Called getWidth() on a recycle()'d bitmap! This is undefined behavior!
W/Bitmap: Called getHeight() on a recycle()'d bitmap! This is undefined behavior!
I/OnMediaChangedCallback: Created notif: Notification(channel=io.github.mattpvaughn.chronicle.features.player$NOW_PLAYING_CHANNEL pri=0 contentView=null vibrate=null sound=null defaults=0x0 flags=0x8 color=0x00000000 category=transport actions=6 vis=PUBLIC)
E/AppModule$exceptionHandler$$inlined$CoroutineExceptionHandler: Caught unhandled exception! java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't parcel a recycled bitmap

I will make a quick PR for testing.

This issue is not resolved in 0.52.0.

The notification works for 1 cycle (pause, then play) and then ceases to function. Also, android auto controls are broken in the same way now. The "random pause" bug interacts with this #32 and when it randomly pauses you cannot press play again in android auto. You have to open your phone and start playback again.
