I can't reproduce it. Can you provide more details?

• Can you tell what settings do you have in sections: Videos, Scrolling, Fullscreen media? If you can, screenshots would be the best.
• In the first step, do you mean clicking on a video in a grid view with all videos, or you're already in the full-screen video and you're clicking it?
• How are you rotating? Do you have auto-rotating in OS? Or do you have it blocked in OS, and you're only relying on rotating via app setting?

BTW. Version in device info is a version of the app, not your exact OS version.

I believe this person is having the same issue: SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Gallery#3051
I went to go make the same issue there then realized the project was forked.

• Version 1.1.0 from F-Droid
• When in grid mode, you click a file, then start scrolling, rotate anytime. It also does it with Photos I just noticed too. Not strictly videos.

Videos

Checked: Play videos auto, loop videos, allow controlling with gestures

Scrolling

Checked: Enable pull to refresh

Fullscreen Media

Checked: Auto hide system ui, allow closing fullscreen view with down gesture, show notch if available,rotate media by system setting

Just to be sure:

1. The issue you gave from SMT says about selecting images. By clicking image, you mean long pressing it to enter selection mode or just a single quick tap that brings you to full-screen display?
2. Is it also the same as Screen Rotate issue/bug SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Gallery#2822?

Both issues seem to be the same yes.
And no, not when holding down.

When you are in the grid view, you single tap an image or video to view it full screen. Then swipe left or right, then turn the device. It rotates, then hops back to that first file no matter how many files you swiped through

To be clear though, this issue was present before the fork. So it's nothing you have changed.
I do appreciate the efforts with the fork btw.

Thanks for clarifying! I still can't reproduce the issue (I have a non-rooted OnePlus), so I suppose it's device or OS specific. Probably also related to #54.

I have this issue as well on my OnePlus 12. @manigmaX (on SMT Git) pointed out that it happens with a high DPI. I normally run my phone at 520 (set in Developer Settings). The issue goes away if I keep the DPI under 478.

I investigated this for a little bit and I think this is happening only when the activity is recreated. An indirect way to reproduce this is to toggle the system's dark theme or just fold/unfold if you have a foldable.

adb shell cmd uimode night yes/no

@replica9000 Is your OnePlus running Android 14?

[naveensingh]

@seniorm0ment @replica9000 here's an APK with a potential fix: #160 (comment)

Let me know if it works, thanks!

[replica9000]

@naveensingh The apk you provided fixes the issue for me, thank you!

My OnePlus is running A14, but the issue was the same on my older OnePlus running A13 as well.

@replica9000 I guess I'll accept my PR then :)
