Duplicate Message Counts #55

Closed midhunhk closed 6 years ago

midhunhk commented 6 years ago

Sometimes, when opening the app after a message is sent, the count is not updated on app launch, but on relaunch the sent message count is doubled.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Send one or more messages
Start the app via Widget or from Launcher
If the sent count is displayed as 0 or unchanged, this issue may occur
Click on Counter button or exit and launch app again
Double the unindexed message count is displayed

Expected behavior There should not be duplicate counts.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Device: Samsung Galaxy S9
OS: Android 8.0
Application Version 4.0.0

Multiple index message tasks may have been initiated could cause this issue.

Fixes applied

Store an Index In Progress flag in Shared Preferences so that multiple indexes are not initiated
Declare activity as singleInstance, so same Activity is reused when opening app from Launcher or Widget
