Virtual Display with Media Projection takes many seconds to stop/teardown?












0















I have an app that's using MediaProjection / Virtual Display in a service.



When everything runs and the permission is accepted to record the screen an icon indicating I have the permission appears in my status bar(it's the casting icon triggered by the system, I'm not showing it manually)



When a user leaves my app I begin the tear down process which triggers almost immediately but even after executing the whole tear down method it takes 3-4 seconds after the last log statement to actually remove the icon from the status bar.



Is this just normal, or is there some quicker way I can stop it? I don't want it to look like my app is still able to record a users screen once they've left my app which is what it looks like now.



fun tearDownMediaProjection() {
Log.("TearDown", "Starting Teardown"
virtualDisplay?.release()
mediaProjection?.unregisterCallback(mediaProjectionCallback)
mediaProjection?.stop()
mediaProjection = null
Log.("TearDown", "Ending Teardown"
}


When I'm testing this in the debugger, if I call this method with a stop point on the mediaProjection = null, wait a few seconds and then move forward through the null step, the icon immediately goes away, so the null line is the one that does it, but only after a delay?



Any suggestions on a quicker way to do this that might not be obvious?



Also - When my service starts the icon appears immediately, so there's no delay to start it?
