Originally created by @hobesman on GitHub (Jun 2, 2022).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Press download on a book in android app
  2. Cause app to crash (not sure how to consistently replicate)
  3. Watch downloads continue to temp directory (e.g. /Android/data/com.audiobokshelf.app/files/Download)
  4. Restart app and temporary files remain in temporary directory. They don't get deleted, nor moved to final directory for listening.

Expected behaviour

  • Files would be recognized as the triggered downloads, or else would be deleted.

Actual behaviour

  • Files linger unused and unremoved.

I have been working on refactoring the Android download logic over the past few months (progress was a bit slow due to life getting in the way). This refactor was primarily focused on cleaning up the framework, and not specifically aimed at fixing any particular issue. However, it is possible that the changes may have resolved this issue as a side effect.

If you get a chance, please try sideloading the APK located at the end of the pull request and let me know if you run into other issues, whether this issue still occurs, or if this issue appears to be resolved. The APK can be downloaded from the "Build APK" workflow at the end of the page by clicking on "View Details", then clicking on "Summary", then downloading the APK. The PR is https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/pull/1587

I am requesting feedback on all of the open Android download issues, so apologies if you receive multiple notifications.
