Inconsistent Recent Activity on the Home screen

[thomasvandeweijer]

What I expect to happen

For the Home screen to have a consistent number of Recent Activity entries (for example, the last 4)

What happened instead

On the Home screen under Recent Activity it first shows 4 activities when opening the app, but when switching back to Home screen after already being in the app it shows 2 activities instead.

How to reproduce

• Make sure there's more than 4 entries in the Activity tab in your app
• Close the app and remove it from your "recent apps"
• Open the app fresh
• It will now display 4 entries under Recent Activity
• Switch to any other tab and back to Home
• It will now only display 2 entries under Recent Activity

Hard and software

• App version: 7.0.1 (419445, fa2ebd5)
• Android version: 12
• Device: OnePlus 7T Pro

The expected behaviour is that it should always show the 2 most recent activities. So apparently something goes wrong in the case where this list gets updated when a new activity occurs.

The pattern that we use in the HistoryRepository currently makes it hard to resolve this issue. In retrospect the repository pattern is not really suitable there. Therefore, the class should be refactored to a bloc and in the new implementation this bug should be taken into account.
