Share the entire screen on Android >=14 by default

Hi,

Android >=14 / API Level 34 Media Capture introduced the option to just “Share one app” when starting a screen sharing session and set it as the default option.

Currently on 1.0.0-alpha09 you can get to app selection dialog, but when you select an app there, the app opens and nothing else happens and you’ll have to start again and select the “Share entire screen” option.

Having “Share the entire screen” as the default would probably be the best solution and
luckily developers can “limit the user’s choice to just the display specified.”, see: https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/media/projection/MediaProjectionManager#createscreencaptureintent_1

Could you please implement this behavior like so?

val intent =
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE) {
        projectionManager.createScreenCaptureIntent(
            MediaProjectionConfig.createConfigForDefaultDisplay()
        )
    } else {
        projectionManager.createScreenCaptureIntent()
    }

Thank you for developing AudioRelay.

ps.
You might also want to inform users about the Developer Options → “Disable screen share protections” toggle. Without this set you can’t read notifications while streaming audio.

Hi,

Nice find, the “Share one app" entry will be disabled by default in the next version, with a way to restore it via a setting.

They also added something that should be more appropriate, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on the devices I’ve tested. (MediaProjectionConfig.Builder.setInitiallySelectedSource)

It’s available since 1.0.0-alpha11.
