    Description

      When using QAudioRecorder, the actualLocation(https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmediarecorder.html#actualLocation-prop) property is set as soon as recording starts on Windows, iOS and MacOS, but on android this is set only after  recording is finished.

       

      This can be reproduced with Audio Recorder example(https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmultimedia-multimedia-audiorecorder-example.html). When  recording  starts on a platform other than android,  actualLocation.(Refer attached screenshot) can be seen. However, with Android, this path remains empty.

      Following tiny patch seems to work:
