Additional information

Currently, a new intent is launched to open the ANdorid app settings. The current implementation just starts an intent and tries to detect changes in onResume() which works if something different than the back button is used.

Using registerForActivityResult might be a solution to this.

Hi @TobiGr,

Im not able to reproduce the bug.

I tested on:

• Emulator: Pixel 6a (Android 13, API 33), also (API 36)
• Real device: Pixel 10 Pro (Android 16)
• NewPipe version: 0.28.0

In all cases, after enabling notifications in the system settings and pressing the back button (in 3 button nav), the in-app notification settings screen updates correctly — the “New streams notifications” option becomes enabled as expected (turned off).
Im able to toggle it on to see remaining options (checking frequency, remaining network connection etc) enabled.

Could you please share:

• Which device/model you used
• Your Android version
• And whether you used 3 button navigation?

Thanks!

I am indeed unable to reproduce this bug. It occurred on one of the nightlies. I just checked with the API 33 emulator I used while bumping into it.
