pocket-casts-android's Issues

Various UI issues when the device uses the largest font and display settings

I was bouncing around the app with my Pixel 3 phone with the devices font size and the display size set to the maximum values, and I noticed a few UI issues, so I figured I'd open this issue to log them somewhere.

---

1. Help & Feedback Screen has a bit of horizontal scroll

horizontal.scroll.mp4

2. Help & Feedback "Still stuck..." box cuts words in half

The word feedback is split in two in the "Still stuck..." dialog

3. Help & Feedback "Get in touch popup" has buttons outside the popup

4. Not all toolbars reflect the updated font size

It looks like our non-compose toolbars aren't reflecting the font size as much as the compose toolbars do. This can be seen when switching between the Settings and the About screens.

Font Size	Default	Largest
Settings
About

5. Profile's Active Account section loses its top and bottom padding

6. Podcast page's folder icon feels a bit crowded against the podcast picture

The spacing between the icons on the podcast page feels off to me because the folder icon crowds up to the podcast picture.

7. The Choose Folder Color screen's colors crowd the right side of the screen

The episode row buffering state stays after switching episodes.

When tapping play on multiple episode rows the buffering state stays on the row for the old episodes.

Steps to repeat

1. Using a mobile connect or slow network
2. Open a podcast page with a list of episodes
3. Tap the play buttons one after another down the screen
4. Old episodes that are no longer buffering show the animated buffer spinner.

If you scroll the page so the rows are no longer visible and come back the spinner has stopped.

Android Auto: Archived episodes shown even if "Show archived episodes" is set to hide them

When using Android Auto, I'm seeing archived episodes displayed even when I have the phone set up to hide archived episodes.

Steps to reproduce

1. Archive an episode in a podcast
2. Ensure that the "Show Archived" setting under "General" is set to "Hide"
3. View the podcast in Android Auto
4. Observe that the archived episode is shown

Long Press for Multi-Select Mode Causes Crash in 7.20.0

To reproduce:

1. Install the 7.20 beta
2. Go to a podcast’s page
3. Long press on any episode row
4. Long press the episode row again

The app will crash the first time. Multi-select mode should work on the second try.

I found this error in debug.txt:

E 24/6 09:45:58 Fatal crash.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: FragmentManager has been destroyed

Issue with timing of Up Next sync

Up Next syncing is set to happen 5 seconds after the last change to Up Next was made. There might be a timing issue here though in that if you make more changes to the Up Next list while the previous changes have already been sent to the server, but before a response comes back you can end up in a slightly inconsistent state, eg:
So:

1. Add 3 things to Up Next
2. Up Next sync task starts, with those changes, but hasn't received a response yet
3. Remove 1 of the episodes added from Up Next
4. Up Next task gets a response, that there should be 3 things in Up Next, so it makes that change
5. Now the thing you removed is back in Up Next

Note that it's possible that the next time an Up Next sync runs, the remove will get sent and then this will fix itself. Adding this issue so we can do more detailed testing, for example putting a long sleep in between getting the server data and processing it to test if we can mess things up.

Full screen player shows old show notes after switching episodes

Reported in Slack

Steps to repeat.

1. Play an episode
2. Add another episode to the Up Next
3. Open the full screen player
4. Switch to the Notes tab
5. Switch back to the Now Playing tab
6. Archive the episode from the shelf
7. Quickly switch back to the Notes tab
   The old show notes will still be there for a short period of time while the new show notes are downloaded.

• Clear the show notes when we switch episodes.
• Check if the show notes are getting loaded straight away.
• Show a loading indicator in the app while the show notes are being downloaded.

Add a way to test the Plus upgrade in staging

Testing the Pocket Casts Plus upgrade process in staging isn't currently possible. It would be good to make it easier and maybe have some documented steps in the checklist.

Tapping the play button flickers back to a pause icon

The episode play button changes to a play icon, back to a pause icon, and then quickly back to a play icon again.

Steps to repeat

1. Open a podcast page
2. Tap an episode play button

Tapping the currently playing chapter on the Chapters player tab, should take you to the playing tab

This is already on iOS, but an Android beta tester noted that on Android this restarts the chapter, which isn't great in terms of consistency.

Steps to repeat

1. Subscribe to Upgrade https://pca.st/upgrade
2. Play an episode
3. Tap the mini player to open the full screen player
4. Tap Chapters to open the list of chapters
5. While the episode is playing tap the current chapter
   It should switch back to the 'Now Playing' tab. Instead it starts the chapter from the beginning again.

Reported Issue of App Not Resuming After Google Maps Directions

Reported in 5334414-zen

I also noticed that tonight when I was listening to podcasts in the car my car was connected via Bluetooth and I was also trying to navigate with Google maps and it completely shuts down the Pocket cast app. Help me figure this out otherwise I'm going to have to change my podcast app. I've been trying to troubleshoot this with you guys for a while and I'm getting to my breaking point.

When playing an uploaded video file, the fullscreen player does not open

When comparing video playback behavior between an episode and custom file, I've noticed when playing a video episode, the player comes in full mode, but when playing a custom file, retains in mini-mode.

Setup

• Podcast episode with MP4 video file, e.g. Ted Talks
• Custom MP4 file uploaded to the cloud storage

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play the podcast episode first. You'll notice that the player comes in full view.
2. Next, play the custom MP4 file, and you'll notice that the player stays in mini-mode.

Episode Card displaying duration instead of time remaining

For an episode that has been partially played, the episode card displays the episode duration on Android and the time remaining on iOS.

iOS	Android

Add "Open Player Automatically" setting

iOS has the option to "Open Player Automatically" under the "General" settings. Turning this on means that tapping to play an episode from, for example, an episode screen or from an episode list will automatically open the full screen player. Let's add this setting to Android to be consistent.

---

Here's the feature on iOS:

Page flashes if you tap the same bottom navigation option again

We should detect when we are already on that screen and either do nothing or, if we want to "reset" the view when we tap the icon again (i.e., return to the top of the page) do something like smoothly scrolling back to the top instead of having the screen flash white.

Tapping on the Chromecast notification should open the app

If you tap the Chromecast notification it doesn't open the app but it should.

OPML import failures

There was a report of timeouts when importing from large opml files resulting in a timeout. In testing this, I did not encounter that issue because I instead got an uninitialized property error.

Full screen video player media controls don't hide automatically

On a phone with API 28 when playing a video in full screen, the media controls don’t hide automatically until the screen is double tapped. The controls should automatically hide the controls after a few seconds or if you single tap the screen.

Lots of users have reported this issue.

Google says we have to upgrade the billing library by November.

By November 1, 2022, all updates to existing apps must use Billing Library version 4 or newer.

When you are casting an episode via Chromecast and try to open that episode within the Pocket Casts app by selecting the episode via the notification bar, nothing happens.

Proposal: Remove unnecessary indent from settings screens

The gap commonly seen in Android settings is to accomodate some screens that have icons, none of ours have icons. Alternatively, we could add icons, but currently there is no reason to indent so much.

Player UI is squashed in split screen mode

Although usable, the player UI is squashed in split-screen mode and could be improved.

Remove 'cartheme' module

Remove 'cartheme' module as this is built into Android Automotive. We were advised to switch to the new Automotive library.

Change the old car library

    implementation "androidx.car:car:1.0.0-alpha7"

for the new one

    implementation "androidx.car.app:app-automotive:1.1.0"

Go to Podcast Icon not showing correctly on Large Screens/Landscape Mode

When using Landscape Mode, the 'Go to Podcast' icon is very small. It shows correctly in Portrait Mode.

Sort starred podcasts screen with most recently starred first

iOS and the web player sort the starred podcasts with the most recently starred podcast first. Android appears to do the opposite and put the most recently starred last. We should update this to be consistent with the web and iOS (retrieving this data from the server if necessary).

OPML import fails with invalid XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml version='1.0'>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <outline 
      text="Left, Right &amp; Center" 
      type="rss"

  </body>
</opml>

The OPML XML is invalid so the import fails. It's caused by the & in the feed URL. I have heard this issue a few times so maybe we should have a fallback parser when an exception happens. It's common that there is one feed URL per line so we could parse the file line by line and pattern match the URLs with a regular expression.

This is the exception it throws.

	at au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts.repositories.opml.OpmlImportTask.doWork(OpmlImportTask.kt:67)

We should also add an error message if it fails rather than failing silently.

Ignore "The" at beginning of podcast name in filter list of podcasts

When displaying the list of podcasts for a filter, podcasts starting with "The" are sorted by the "T". We should ignore the "The" when sorting these like we do elsewhere in the app.

Allow multiple lines for the discover collection title

Support multiple lines for the discover collection title so it doesn't have the three dots ...

Load part of the history list and load the rest as you scroll down the list.

Loading a large history list results in a large number of network calls. We could reduce this by only loading a few episodes and requesting more as the user scrolls. This is especially noticeable on a first sync.

Podcast Settings -> Included in filters page changes required

There's a bug on this page where the heading says "Choose podcasts", but it should say "Select filters"

Android:

vs how it should look from iOS:

Additionally we should hide the "Included in filters" button if there are no filters it can be included in (eg: there aren't any that are currently not All Podcasts") otherwise you get a screen like this. Which doesn't really make a lot of sense. What can a user do here? What does it mean? We already hide this option on iOS.

Spacing off on Add File screen header

The save button on the add file header is too close to the right side of the screen.

Also, the header leaves room for the top system bar, but it covers up that bar, so there is too much blank space at the top of the screen.

Android Auto doesn't play because of 'Warn before using data' setting

Detect if the user is playing through Android Auto and ignore the 'Warn before using data' setting as there is no way to show this through the Android Auto interface.

When toggling themes the miniplayer animates back into place

If the miniplayer is present when switching themes, it briefly disappears and then animates back into place on the screen. We should update this so it just remains in place.

Upgrading to Plus by tapping a theme should switch to the theme

If you go through the upgrade process to plus having selected the electricity theme, when you come back it's selected, but not actually active.

Refactor positionMs and durationMs to be long instead of int

We would save a lot of casting if we switched positionMs and durationMs to be long instead of int. Exoplayer uses long and we use int. It might overflow at some point as well which might be why Exoplayer uses long.

Full screen player 'Rearrange Actions' page the back button

The back button on the 'Rearrange Actions' page doesn't exit the page.

Steps to repeat

1. Play an episode
2. Tap on the mini player to open the full screen player
3. Tap the three dots in the shelf
4. Tap the edit pen icon
5. Press the back button (or swipe from the edge of the screen on modern phones)
   The page should close but instead it requires another back button press and it quits the full screen player.

Changing your device language resets the Auto Archive settings

When you change your device language, the archive settings in Pocket Casts resets. So if a user initially had podcasts set to never archive, that gets cleared when you change the device language.

Improve 'Storage & data use' setting section

The iOS version of the 'Storage & data use' setting section is much easier to use.

Some of the main changes are

• Remove 'Storage 96GB free out of 112GB' and switch to 'Downloaded Files' with a summary of the disk usage.
• On 'Manage downloads' remove the horizontal lines
• Figure out if we even need the 'Clear download cache' action
• On 'Storage & Date Use' put the usage settings first

Investigate if we can add Smart Lock for Passwords

To make it easier to manage the user's account password we could integrate Google's Smart Lock for Passwords

By integrating Smart Lock for Passwords into your Android app, you can automatically sign users in to your app using the credentials they have saved. Users can save both username-password credentials and federated identity provider credentials.

Clean up old Java code

There is still some Java code in the project. It would be good to check if it's still needed and convert it over to Kotlin.

• EpisodeManagerTest.java
• FileStorage.java
• FileUtil.java
• OldDataOpenHelper.java
• PCBottomSheetBehavior.java
• ShiftyCustomAudio.java
• ShiftyTrimSilenceProcessor.java
• StringUtil.java
• There are also proto generated files in this directory but they can be removed in favor of linking proto generation with Java/Kotlin compilation tasks. -> This isn't currently feasible. See this comment.

Full screen player bottom sheets should be dark.

Steps to reproduce.

• Tap on the mini player (if the mini player isn't there, play a podcast first)
• Tap 'select' in the toolbar
• Long press on an episode row

The bottom sheets on the full screen player should match the dark theme.

Modal from long-pressing skip forward or backward does not reflect theme

Modal from long-pressing skip forward or backward is always dark and does not reflect the currently selected theme, which is pretty jarring with some themes.
