[Android] Minimized Floating Screen Not Appearing After Pressing Home Button During Screen Sharing in Jitsi Android App

[KhouloudMaam]

What happened?
When screen sharing is initiated on the Jitsi (Android app & SDK) with the "hide self view" option disabled, pressing the home button on the Android device to view other documents while attending the meeting will cause the minimized floating screen to not appear.

Steps to Reproduce:
Start a Jitsi meeting
Go to Settings

Option hide self view : Disabled
Start screen sharing
Pressing Home Icon in the navigation bar of Android

Actual Behavior:
The Jitsi app does not display the minimized floating screen when the "hide self view" option is disabled.

Expected Behavior:
The Jitsi app should display the minimized floating screen when the home button on the Android navigation bar is pressed.

Like the screen below

Workaround:
Enable the option if it's disabled, or disable it if it's enabled, in order to display the minimized floating screen.

This was intentional when we didn't allow closing of the PiP window to be closed, but that's no longer the case.

@Calinteodor can you pl remove the limitation?

Thanks for your answer @saghul

Will the PiP window always be displayed to the user when sharing screen ?

[saghul]

PiP will be shown whenever the user switches away from the app, regardless of the screen-sharing state.
