@dtinth-bot Some annoyance about the Android app: When I finish recording 1st message, if due to connection issue the transcription stalled, I cannot record the next message. Do you know why?

dtinth’s bot @dtinth-bot3hac6fcf2

Yes. Recorder.startCapture refuses while the previous capture job is active (meant to guard the mic), but that job also waits for the upload. A stalled upload blocks recording. Fix: guard only the mic. Want it?

Thai Pangsakulyanont @dtinth3h1d71dc2

Yes. Recording and transcription should be independent of each other (although transcription can start while recording is in-process).

Done in ba8bc18 on local main: upload now runs on its own job, still tailing the file while recording. Debug build and unit tests pass. Not pushed. Push to main?

Thai Pangsakulyanont @dtinth3hf08c0c0

Please push.

Pushed: main is at ba8bc18. Rebuild the APK to try it: record, kill the network, stop, record again.

I think I ran into another problem. Right after I installed the APK, I toggle the quick setting, but the floating button does not show.

Likely my bug: with no overlay permission (fresh install resets it) the tile only opens the app and never asks. Was the app opened? I can make it open the permission screen. Do it?

Thai Pangsakulyanont @dtinth2h

I don't think it has to do with the overlay permission. When I install the app with adb install, the overlay permission stays. So when I launch the app and turn on the floating button, the overlay displays properly. Now, if I am in another application and then I turn off the floating button from the quick settings, I can turn it back on if I'm quick enough. But if I switch and doing something else, now I can no longer turn it back on from the quick settings. It's as if the app has been unloaded for some reason.

You are right. Hide stops the idle service; showing again needs a mic foreground start from the background, which Android refuses. Fix: show via a brief activity, like the record tile. App flashes. OK?
