rigid / birthdroid Goto Github PK

Present list of address books in the preferences so user can select them with checkmarks.
Lack of this causes #18 and should fix it properly.

Maybe there's something wrong with my contacts database, but I get some contacts displayed three times. HOwever, other apps which use and show the contact data do not have this problem. Therefore, I've added an easy fix to filter out multiple contact results.

Hi,

I'd like to suggest to import this project into Android Studio, as that is the new recommended IDE for building android apps (see links).

https://developer.android.com/tools/studio/eclipse-transition-guide.html

I've done this already, if you'd like, I can create a pull request to include the necessary changes. You can take a look at the changes here:

https://github.com/toddy15/Birthdroid/tree/import-in-android-studio

The app builds fine with Android Studio/Gradle on my computer.

Seperators (Today, Tomorrow, x days, x weeks, x months, age)

In my (Google) contact list I have some contacts where the birthday date consists only of day and month (e.g. 16 January) because I don't know the exact birth year.

This causes the app to throw an error (Birthdays.findDateFormat:371) Could not find DateFormat for "--01-16". At least Google allows to have the year missing, so I guess it is a valid case. In this situation the year could be substituted with the upcoming year, or more easily Date formats of MM-dd could be allowed.

set foresight period value as any 11 digit number crashed the application
say "111111111111"

any additional widget that is launched starts with showing the next entry (if any) or a different anniversary type

Make widget ViewFlip animation configurable

Create preference to set interval for contact scans.

The current version of Birthdroid depends on a phone with an hardware menu button to change preferences. So it is not possible to access the preferences menu with newer phones.

A solution would be to use an Action Bar which could contain a software preferences button.

Add preferences option to reverse the sorting order (ascending/descending) of the birthday list.

different messages ("birthday in $x days", "birthday on $weekday (in $x week(s))", "birthday on $date", ...)

Make font size adjustable

widget keeps on launcher but fails to load upon uninstall

Hello,

could you maybe change the widget, so that more than one birthday is visible at a time? Like here:

Birthdroid doesn't correctly sanitize input in the prefs dialog and keeps crashing. As workaround, one can delete all app-data and restart the app.

not only support birthday events but also anniversary and other events...
