Crash at launch - Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException$BadForegroundServiceNotificationException about audio_service HOT 11 CLOSED

Thanks, sounds like an incompatibility in the Oppo version of Android 13. I can work around that with some conditional code. I'll create a fix for you after I finish upgrading my system.

from audio_service.

See:

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13

Prior to Android 13, the system displayed up to five actions from the MediaStyle notification in the order in which they were added. In compact mode—for example, in the collapsed quick settings—up to three actions specified with setShowActionsInCompactView() were shown.

Starting with Android 13, the system displays up to five action buttons based on the PlaybackState as described in the following table. In compact mode, only the first three action slots will be displayed. For apps that don't target Android 13 or those that don't include a PlaybackState, the system will display controls based on the Action list added to the MediaStyle notification as described in the previous paragraph.

So my reasoning for this fix, according to the Android documentation quoted above, is that all new apps should be targeting at least SDK version 33 or higher (it is now required by Google Play), which means that setShowActionsInCompactView would never be used anyway for all "new" apps published from this point onwards at least WHEN they are run on devices with Android 13. If run on a device with an older version of Android, my reading of those paragraphs is that setShowActionsInCompactView "would" be used in that situation.

So the current fix is simply to check if the device is running Android 13 and if it is, then it skips the call to setShowActionsInCompactView, which also happily deals with the Oppo bug.

I have had a report from another developer that this fix worked on their Oppo: ryanheise/just_audio#1056

But so far, we have only tested this fix on Oppo with Android 13, not Oppo with older versions of Android, so we don't know if it would crash on older Oppos. I have tested it on older Pixel phones and there was no crash, but I don't have the data on old Oppos. But since this bug was never reported before until recently, maybe it's safe to assume that Oppo with older versions of Android were working fine, and it's just the Android 13 version for Oppo that has the bug.

I haven't had a chance to run your project yet, but the error doesn't look like a bug. audio_service will throw exceptions if it is not used in accordance with the documentation, and so that is why in the first section of the bug report you are first asked to cross reference the behaviour with the documentation to show that you are using the API correctly.

My guess is that you passed in a compact action index that was out of bounds for the list of actions that you passed in.

@ryanheise, I edited the example inside the post to show more.

My androidCompactActionIndices property has 2 indexes in accordance with the controls property list size.

How about I just disable compact actions on Android 13 altogether, not just Oppo? I think the idea is that Android 13 is supposed to ignore the compact actions, so this should work. But do you have any Android 13 devices where the compact actions are being used?

If not, I have created a branch fix/oppo_android_13 with this approach.

from audio_service.

I didn't know how it should react on Android 13 :/
I can't affirm want you need to do, i'm sorry.

That's feel not a good solution to remove the option for all Android 13, except if documentation said that...
Also, I can't really test : i didn't have any oppo device. It was a crash in production and i found the issue using some stackoverflow post and some 'blind fix' (pushing to prod praying that it will fix the crash) ...

from audio_service.

Before merging this fix, I will need volunteers to test it on different devices both with Android 13 and pre Android 13. And according to the second paragraph above, also testing targeting Android 13 and pre Android 13.

Agree with this :)

The fix has now been published. Thank you for reporting the bug as well as the detail of the devices affected.
