Start Guidance Audio in Android having issues

[akilakumarasamy]

When navigation starts in Android, the audio for 'Start guidance' plays immediately. However, when we stop the navigation using the internal stop button (which halts both the navigation and guidance), and then restart navigation, the audio is delayed by a few seconds. Repeating this stop-and-start action causes the delay to increase progressively, eventually leading to the audio not playing at all. Each attempt adds around 2-3 seconds to the delay. Closing and reopening the app resolves the issue temporarily, allowing the audio to function correctly on the first attempt again."

Also, when we switch between the audio icons from unmute to alerts only to mute back and forth it stops working.

This is an issue only in Android and not in iOS. We are on version v0.6.0. This is blocking us to release to Android users.

Hi @akilakumarasamy,

Thank you for reporting the issue.

I’ve attempted to reproduce the problem, but I am unable to hear any noticeable delay when restarting guidance after stopping it. I tried with different routes, and guidance types. Could you please provide more details on the methods or APIs you’re using when stopping and starting navigation again?
Also notice that if you have multiple destinations, you need to call NavigationController.continueToNextDestination on each waypoint (arrival). Otherwise guidance is not continuing over the waypoints.
