Android "back" gesture closes app when watching video

[Danilado]

The bug

When watching videos in android app, the "back" gesture closes (or rather minimizes) the app instead of closing the video view.

This doesn't happen with pictures and gif files

Your docker-compose.yml content

I don't think it's relevant

Your .env content

I don't think it's relevant

Reproduction steps

1. Open video in the android app
2. Perform "back" gesture
   Expected behavior: video view closes, I return to timeline
   Real behaviour: app minimizee, I return to the desktop

Relevant log output

No response

Additional information

I tried turning different view settings, such as load original image
The behaviour didn't change

The down swipe performs the desired action

I can't reproduce this, it behaves as expected for me.

Weird just tried reinstalling the app both from google play and the releases page
It still closes the app for me

Im using Vivo IQOO Neo 8 phone running Origin OS 4 based on Android 14
I tried changing to navigation buttons in the OS
Pressing the "back" button performs as expected - I return to the timeline from the video

The problem only happens with the gesture.
Guess I have to suffer from using a cheap chineese device

Does it log anywhere so I can provide any data?

You can also just close the Issue if you want, as It seems that I am the only person facing it

I can reproduce on Samsung S23

I have the same issue on pixel 6. Swipe back always closes the app.

This might no longer be an issue with #12104. I just enabled predictive back in a debug build and could not reproduce on my Galaxy S22 Android 14.

The problem was fixed in September 2024...

This issue was fixed with PR #12221, but that fix disables predictive back gestures entirely. I re-enabled predictive back gestures in a debug build and I did not have this issue. Most likely the change in PR #12104 (merged in December 2024) fixes the root cause.

Makes sense

You should either create a new issue and mention this one or just reopen this one

Yep, I demoed it and posted in the Discord and may open a PR for predictive back gestures soon.
