Description

Steps to reproduce

open a conversation where the call buttons should be disabled. For example "Note to self".

Expected behaviour

call buttons are disabled

Actual behaviour

call buttons are enabled

Log: "call buttons were null when trying to disable them"
conversationVoiceCallMenuItem and conversationVideoMenuItem are null.
Handling related to onPrepareOptionsMenu must be improved?

I can imagine that sometimes it works and sometimes not, as there could be a race condition.

Nextcloud Talk app version

19.1.0 Alpha 04 (most likely since ever)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening the “Note to self” conversation and inspect the call menu handling around onPrepareOptionsMenu, especially conversationVoiceCallMenuItem and conversationVideoMenuItem. Confirm the behavior across repeated openings to assess the suspected race condition. Done means call buttons are disabled when calls should be unavailable and the null-item log no longer occurs.
