Problems reported on jelly bean #14

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Per multiple users:

FYI Big problems lately with jelly bean update.  When toggled on and off, voice 
search and voice to txt functions fail.  Google voice search just says can't 
hear you.  Still happens if force stopped, disabled, and phone restart.  Only 
fix is to uninstall.

I must say when I activate the headphones, somehow the microphone work and the 
sound it comes trough the headphones that's the way that works, the issue is 
when I change the route of the sound, I mean when I want the sound in the 
speaker and the microphone as the normal way without the headphones, its when 
the microphone doesn't work... also the microphone only work when the 
headphones are plugged, otherwise don't... and as I said before I've been use 
your app with ice cream long time ago and never have this behavior. It's not a 
big deal, I still can use the microphone in normal way with the plugged 
headphones, just telling you the little incompatibility with jellybean.

A user had previously reported support for 4.1.1.  It appears something broke 
between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.  Unfortunately both are API Level 16 so I don't think 
I can filter.

I've had people report similar problems for 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 for SoundAbout.  
The issue may be in the AudioPolicyManagerBase, starting with 4.1.1.  I can't 
find a version of AudioPolicyMangerBase for 4.2 to compare.

Compare 4.0.4:

io/AudioPolicyManagerBase.cpp#getDeviceForInputSource

With 4.1.1:

io/AudioPolicyManagerBase.cpp#getDeviceForInputSource

You are trying to do a lot of weird hacks in the code, some of which is 
unnecessary. The headset detect hack you put in breaks stuff. You also need to 
distinguish between wired headset and headphone.

"You are trying to do a lot of weird hacks in the code, some of which is

I agree.  The issue is that this application was originally written for 1.6 
which worked quite differently.  That code has not been removed.  The second 
issue is that I haven't used the application since 1.6 myself which means it's 
hard to find the time to actually put the effort in to fix and test it.  If 
there are any changes you'd like to make or if you'd just like to take over the 
source in a new project please do.

I realized there is one additional comment from David which didn't make it into 
the bug:

I got my app to work without locking the microphone.  

First, try commenting out anything that is using setDeviceConnectionState to 
set any inputs (DEVICE_IN).  You don't need them.  Setting the OUTPUT will 
automatically set the corresponding INPUT.  

Also, instead of calling AudioManager and AudioSystem over and over statically, 
 I stored them in a class level variable and release them when I am done. 

For my AudioSystem class, I also created a class variable and destroy it when 
done, like below.

public Class<?> getAudioSystem()
    {

        try 
        {
            if (_audioSystem == null)
            {
                _audioSystem = Class.forName("android.media.AudioSystem");  
            }

        }
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            Log.e("Eclair_MR1", "getAudioSystem failed: " + e.toString());
            //Helper.showToast(this, "setDeviceConnectionState - " + e.toString());
        }

        return _audioSystem;

    }

    public void onDestroy()
    {
        _audioSystem = null;
    }

Dear Sir, 
Do you know if anyone has picked up the project to make it work with KitKat. 
This program's simplicity is it's elegance. I am currently using Sound About in 
KitKat and it is a much more clumsy program. 
Thx Sincerely,
Vito

Hi Vito,
I don't have the time to commit to KitKat updates at this time but I'm happy to 
provide suggestions or additional help to any developer who wants to spend time 
on this.
