Android

Expected behavior

the recording should play without jumping back randomly to the beginning

Actual behavior

When playing voice recordings on android, the current position occasionally jumps back.

You can see in the log that the audio player jumps to the start at 4460 ms in the first voice record and in the second at 4707 ms.

Example:

Code:

1. This first log is only printed once as the player gets instantiated one once (wanted to make sure that I don't have two audio players)

2. Logs the current position / duration of the voice recording.

This behavior occurs only on android. The same code works on iOS fine and was thoroughly tested.

Also, sometimes the app crashes with the following error message. I included it here, because I assume that both of the anomalies may be related.

@andreiZi try on a real device. I'am using a Samsung S10 (Android 12) without problems.

Thank you @claudiozam for your help.

I went out and purchased a physical Pixel 7 Pro and it works well now. It would be great if the issue could be resolved for future reference, as it caused a lot of frustration when trying to find the cause on an emulator.
