birthdaycalendar's Issues

Missing Birthday Adapter's reminder flexibility in Birthday Calendar's settings

Hi Sascha,

I liked (maybe loved?) and used Birthday Adapter - the app Birthday Calendar is based on - (and I'm still using it up to now), and for sure it's really great that you brought the concept to the next level by creating Birthday Calendar.

But why to hell you shriveled up Birthday Adapter's fantastic reminder concept with its three reminders that were able to be set to any daytime to only to simple reminders??
Please, bring (back?) Birthday Adapter's glorious reminders to Birthday Calendar - I'm really being you!

(Rem.: Nix für ungut, aber ich finde die Konfigurierbarkeit der Reminder echt eine der praktischsten Funktionen beim Birthday Adapter! ;-))

logo design for the project

Hi, I want to design a new logo for the project completely free...

Two separate calendars after system language changed

After I changed the Android system (display) language on Android 10 I ended up with two separate Birthday Calendar entries in my calendar.

Events without year use 1970

When a contact has a an event set with a date without the year, BirthdayCalendar displays the year in messages as "1970", and computes ages (for birthday events) from 1970.

The issue is in CalendarSyncService:

BirthdayCalendar/mobile/src/main/java/saschpe/birthdays/service/CalendarSyncService.java

Lines 439 to 445 in 0d42b62

 if (!dateFormatString.contains("yyyy")) { 

 // Because no year is defined in address book, set year to 1700. When 

 // year < 1800, the age will be not displayed in brackets 

 Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); 

 cal.setTime(eventDate); 

 cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1700); 

 }

After setting the year of the Calendar to 1700, the Date is not updated (SufficientlySecure/birthday-calendar had the same issue: #66).

Looking through the code I could not find any other reference to the year 1700, so probably the code

BirthdayCalendar/mobile/src/main/java/saschpe/birthdays/service/CalendarSyncService.java

Lines 147 to 176 in 0d42b62

 for (int year = startYear; year <= endYear; year++) { 

 // Calculate age 

 final int age = year - eventYear; 

 String title = null; 

 String description = ""; 

 if (displayName != null) { 

 switch (eventType) { 

 case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_CUSTOM: 

 String eventCustomLabel = cursor.getString(eventCustomLabelColumn); 

 if (eventCustomLabel != null) { 

 title = context.getString(R.string.event_custom_title_template, displayName, eventCustomLabel); 

 } else { 

 title = context.getString(R.string.event_other_title_template, displayName); 

 } 

 break; 

 case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_ANNIVERSARY: 

 title = context.getString(R.string.event_anniversary_title_template, displayName); 

 description = context.getResources().getQuantityString(R.plurals.event_anniversary_description_template, age, displayName, age); 

 break; 

 case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_BIRTHDAY: 

 title = context.getString(R.string.event_birthday_title_template, displayName); 

 description = context.getResources().getQuantityString(R.plurals.event_birthday_description_template, age, displayName, eventYear, age); 

 break; 

 default: 

 // Includes ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_OTHER 

 title = String.format(context.getString(R.string.event_other_title_template), displayName); 

 break; 

 } 

 }

would also need to be adapted to check for that, and the title and description strings adapted accordingly.

I have not been able to setup a test environment yet with the AVD to check it out (I'm not usually an Android dev and I get stuck on stupid things), but I can look into it further if you would like a PR.

Use possessive s correctly

Listings in the calendar show the person's nane, a possessive s and the text birthday, e.g. "John Stevens's birthday".

However, when the name ends with an s, only the apostrophe should be shown, i.e. "John Stevens' birthday"

Reading position of License page gets lost after device rotation

Open license page, scroll the page, and rotate screen. You will see page refresh so that I have to manually scroll to the position I read before.

Logo/Icon Proposal

Hi good day! Im Jibbie Eguna, a graphics designer, I would like to ask for your permission to propose a new designs of logo in your application/project. I would like to help projects in open-source .I would just like to propose new designs. Hoping for your positive response Thank You!

Add possibility to choose another calendar

Hi,
Can u add the possibility to choose an other calendar for saving the data (eg. an caldav one)?

Birthdays are a day behind

The birthdays in the app are listed as a day behind.
E.g. a birthday on Dec 9 appears as Deb 8 in the app.

The event that appears in my calendar and the contacts apps seems fine though. Specifically the only issue is that it shows wrong if I open the BirthdayCalendar app, but everything else is correct. Perhaps it's a timezone issue? For reference, my local timezone is GMT-5.

Here's some pictures for illustration

Hi !
Are you look for a french translator ? I’m willing to contribute ! :)

Birthday appears twice in the calendar

Every birthday appears twice in the calendar (see screenshots), while it does not necessarily appear twice in the "Birthday tab" (most entries do appear twice even in the Birthday tab).

Birthday adapter does not have those issues

Wrong project page opening in "Help & feedback" section

The Fork me on Github option in the Help & feedback application menu, points to another project on Github (PlanningPoker).

[FR] Add age in event’s title (for contact’s birthday)

Hi !

One of the feature I liked the most in Birthday Adapter in that the age of the contact is displayed in the event’s title, e.g. "Alice’s birthday (50)".

That makes it so easy to shoot a quick text message with "Happy birthday Alice for your half-century !" :-)

Make the whole titles of birthdays localized

Hi :-)

Thanks a lot for your nice app!

I have a small suggestion for an improvement. I don't know how easy this would be to implement, as I only know coding C++/Qt, not Java … At the moment, a birthday's title is generated by adding "'s birthday" to the respective name. In my case, using a German locale, this would be e. g. "Tobias Leupold's Geburtstag". This is wrong, as it should be "Tobias Leupolds Geburtstag", without the apostrophe (except for names ending with "s" or "z", where only an apostrohe without the "s" would have to be appended, e. g. "Ralph Schmitz' Geburtstag").

Surely only a minor issue, but maybe something you may want to change.

Cheers, Tobias

Introduction has wrong screen size

Check the sceenshots, the beginning of the text is offscreen.

Operating system is Android 10, but I can remember a similar issue on another phone too.

Relicense from Apache to GPLv3

I haven't found a way to contact you in private so I am opening an issue for this:
This is a fork of https://github.com/SufficientlySecure/birthday-calendar so please adhere to the license and use GPLv3! If you want to discuss details email me at [email protected]

I don't really understand why you did this. Why not contribute to the original project?
