Goal

Fixes AND-1455.

RingingTests#testUserAcceptsTheIncomingVideoCallWithCameraAndMicrophoneEnabled fails on CI when the SFU websocket drops right after the callee accepts (for example run 33070269061 on PR #1776, and the API 34 job of run 33155106721). The chain is:

  1. The SFU socket drops during the join and CallReconnector starts a REJOIN.
  2. While the reconnect is running, the participant roster is unreliable: the rejoin removes our previous participant record and the remote participant of the failing SFU is gone. The roster falls to 1 or less.
  3. StreamCallActivity observes the roster with leaveWhenLastInCall = true, sees "last participant", and fires LeaveCall.
  4. The leave cancels call.scope. The reconnect loop runs in that scope, so it dies in the middle of its retry.
  5. The screen stays on "Connecting..." until the test times out.

Implementation

  • Extracted the last participant detection from StreamCallActivity.processParticipantLeftEvent into an internal lastParticipantSignal flow helper (LastParticipantSignal.kt).
  • The helper combines the participant roster with call.state.connection, keeps the existing debounce, and suppresses the signal while the connection is Reconnecting or Migrating. This mirrors the Swift SDK's LastParticipantAutoLeavePolicy, which only acts when the reconnection status is connected.
  • Because the connection state is part of the combined stream, the roster is re-evaluated when the reconnect settles:
    • The reconnect succeeds and the roster is restored: no leave. This is the CI failure case.
    • The reconnect succeeds but the user is really alone: the leave still fires.
    • The reconnect fails terminally: ReconnectingFailed is not suppressed, so the leave fires and the activity finishes instead of staying on "Connecting...".
  • The diagnostic logging of every roster evaluation is kept and now also logs the connection state.

🎨 UI Changes

No UI changes.

Testing

  • New LastParticipantSignalTest (8 tests, Turbine with virtual time) in a new unit test source set for stream-video-android-ui-core. The module had no unit tests before, so the test dependencies were added to its build file.
  • Mutation check: removing the connection gate from the filter makes 5 of the 8 tests fail, so the tests catch this exact regression.
  • spotlessCheck, testDebugUnitTest, apiCheck and the debug and release compilations are green. The helper is internal, so the public API dump is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling when the last participant leaves a call.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds a debounced lastParticipantSignal helper. It combines participant and connection state, suppresses checks during reconnection or migration, integrates the helper into StreamCallActivity, and adds regression tests.

Changes

Last participant signal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Signal helper and connection gating
stream-video-android-ui-core/src/main/kotlin/.../LastParticipantSignal.kt
The helper combines and debounces participant and connection flows. It emits only for a single participant with a settled connection.
Activity callback integration
stream-video-android-ui-core/src/main/kotlin/.../StreamCallActivity.kt
processParticipantLeftEvent uses lastParticipantSignal and logs each evaluation.
Signal regression coverage
stream-video-android-ui-core/src/test/.../LastParticipantSignalTest.kt, stream-video-android-ui-core/build.gradle.kts
Tests cover connection states, roster changes, debounce behavior, and evaluation callbacks. Test dependencies were added.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a4ddb

The change prevents calls from being ended while reconnecting, while preserving auto-leave when the user is genuinely alone. A bounded lifecycle risk remains because transitioning to disconnected may trigger the last-participant callback more than once, so merge is appropriate with explicit owner awareness and follow-up coverage.

Poem

A rabbit watches the roster flow,
While reconnecting states say, “No.”
The signal waits, then checks once more,
And calls when one remains ashore.
Tests hop brightly through the door.

@coderabbitai TestBase lives in stream-video-android-core's own test source set and is not published as test fixtures, so tests in stream-video-android-ui-core cannot reference it. This module had no unit tests before this PR. Keeping plain runTest here, the test only needs virtual time for the debounce.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@andremion Thanks for the clarification. TestBase is not available to stream-video-android-ui-core tests because stream-video-android-core does not publish it as test fixtures. Plain runTest is appropriate when virtual time is only required for debounce.

Learning: In this Android project, `TestBase` is in the `stream-video-android-core` test source set and is not published as test fixtures. Tests in `stream-video-android-ui-core` must not reference `TestBase`; use plain `runTest` when they only require coroutine virtual time, such as for `debounce`.

… reconnecting

During an SFU rejoin the participant roster is unreliable: the rejoin
removes the previous local participant record and the remote
participants of the failing SFU are gone. With leaveWhenLastInCall
enabled, the activity saw a roster of one, fired LeaveCall, and the
leave cancelled call.scope, killing the reconnect loop that runs in
that scope. The screen then stayed on Connecting forever.

The last participant detection now combines the roster with
call.state.connection and stays silent while the connection is
Reconnecting or Migrating. The roster is re-evaluated once the
connection settles, so a genuine last participant state still leaves.
…un ui-core tests in CI

- The last participant filter now requires RealtimeConnection.Connected
  instead of excluding Reconnecting/Migrating, so the initial join is
  guarded too. The reconnector leaves the call itself on retry
  exhaustion, so ReconnectingFailed needs no signal from here.
- distinctUntilChanged restores the one-shot semantics of
  onLastParticipant across connection transitions.
- stream-video-android-ui-core added to coverage.includedModules so its
  unit tests run in CI via :testCoverage.
distinctUntilChanged at the end of the chain sits after the filter, so it
only ever sees last-participant rosters. When a remote participant joins,
the 2-participant roster is dropped upstream and never updates the retained
value, so the remote leaving again produces a roster equal to the last
emitted one and the second genuine signal is lost.

Track "already signalled" explicitly instead of inferring it from roster
equality: a roster rising edge arms the signal, and the first connected
evaluation after that consumes it. The connection can release a pending
signal but never create one, so a connection transition with an unchanged
roster still does not repeat it.
