Syncthing-android: Incorrect native UI status of a remote device during synchronization

[scienmind]

Following up on the forum discussion:

1. Add a big file to a folder shared with a remote device
2. Open Syncthing app (native UI), and review the remote device's status
3. Result: remote device is shown as "Up to Date"
4. Expected result: remote device is shown as "Syncing"

WebUI shows "Syncing" status correctly

Version Information

App Version: 0.10.8
Syncthing Version: v0.14.46
Android Version: Android 8.0

Hi @scienmind ,
can you please test if this debug build fixes the problem with the device UI sync status?

Please be sure to backup your data and config first before switching to the debug build. It contains a bunch of more changes that are currently unreleased like syncthing 0.14.47

Thanks, @Catfriend1 !

Just tested the linked apk on one of the devices, looks fixed indeed 👍

@scienmind Thanks for testing.

@scienmind The last apk linked above had a serious error in its code as I discovered today and fixed it (endless loop problem if a device got deleted). Would you mind trying this one? https://build.syncthing.net/repository/download/SyncthingAndroid_Build/20516:id/debug/app-debug.apk

I tried the newer apk, shows "Syncing" status when appropriate as well.

FYI - don't consider it "well tested" by me in any way. Just a sanity check if it basically does what it should.
