Save button not working (save error on Android 10+/15) #27
Description
Problem
The Save button fails when attempting to save an audio segment from the rotating segments tab. Users see a save error when trying to preserve recordings.
Reported by
- User feedback on issue App rmiss to record apparently random segments #20 (Giuliano) - save shows error, especially on Android 15
- Save dialog appears and user confirms, but saving fails with an error
Root cause (fixed in 1.2.4-beta)
- Save was using MediaStore.Audio.Media with Downloads path, which is incorrect for the Downloads collection
- On Android 10+, scoped storage restrictions caused the save to fail
getSavedSegmentFiles()returned empty list on Android 10+, so the Saved tab showed no segments even when save appeared to work
Fix (v1.2.4-beta)
Replaced MediaStore-based save with app-specific storage (getExternalFilesDir), which works reliably on all Android versions without additional permissions. Saved segments are stored in app storage; Share button can be used to export to other apps.
Verification
Close this issue once v1.2.4-beta is confirmed to resolve the save problem for users (e.g. @giulians on Android 15).
