Android: player plays last initialized sound after finishing a call

[jnorkus]

To reproduce, add this code, then receive and finish a phone call. The audio file is played immediately.

const player = new TNSPlayer();
player.initFromFile({
  audioFile: '~/audio/audio.mp3',
  loop: false
});

I found the cause of this bug. On Android every time AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN is fired on AudioManager, resume() is called even though the player was not playing when focus was lost.

Did you get a workaround?

[jnorkus]

I did. I commented out the line and now use a local copy of the plugin. Quick and dirty but unfortunately no time to contribute.

nativescript-audio/src/android/player.ts

Line 393 in 02017d8

this.resume();

@jnorkus, that line?

@NathanWalker, how can we improve this? Do you have any suggest?

[jnorkus]

Yes exactly that one.

Any news on this guys?

So I tested this with the this.resume() commented out as mentioned above and the audio still played and when I receive notifications it would play the sound. So I'm not sure what the fix is.

This is a pretty big bug though.

Any news about this? :/

My work around for this (in a local version of the plugin) was to make the following edits in ./nativescript-audio/android/player.js:

// Added to player.js line 11
this._resumeOnFocus = false;

// Added to player.js lines 28-31 
 if(_this._resumeOnFocus) {
     _this.resume();
      _this._resumeOnFocus = false;
}

// Added to player.js lines 39, 45, 50
if(_this.isAudioPlaying()) _this._resumeOnFocus = true;

Tried making the subsequent changes in the plugin itself, but after compiling and running the demo, i'm getting an extra AUDIOFOCUS_LOSS that repauses the player immediately after it gets focus switching back to the app after the phone call. Until I switch back the audio resumes or doesn't correctly, though.

Otherwise, the above edits work in my actual app.

I think I have an issue relative to this one. Player plays last initialized audio after colling and closing Google Assistant. This thing helped:

I had exactly the same problem. Player plays last initializes audio even the app is in background when receives call or notification. #111 (comment) helped.

In my case, this answer fixed it 👍🏽
