App misbehaves when installed on the SD card (completion not working)

Opened this issue · 3 comments

I've begun experimenting with your very useful app and it might be that I've simply missed something.

I have a Lenovo Tab P11 Plus tablet running android 12.

I've successfully fiddled about with the various settings and all seems fine but with one (important) exception.

Testing it out I have the alerts working, sound, vibration and notification banner - all fine. But when the reminder notification displays with the two options - snooze or completed I find that selecting the 'snooze' reflects OK in the app with a 30 minute extension shown. But, when selecting 'completed' the app is unaltered still showing the task as 'live' without any indication of 'completed'.

Several times I've had a system popup stating the app had stopped working, when in fact it carried on apparently OK.

I've tried reinstalling the app.

As I mentioned, have I missed something?

UPDATE: The app downloaded by default onto my SD card. Moving it to internal storage solved it!!

A few questions:

also:

you should see that the checkbox is checked when you press "completed" on the notification, as is shown here: https://github.com/spacecowboy/NotePad/blob/master/documents/TUTORIAL.md#the-main-view

You say this is not happening in your device ?

If you can post a logcat I can try to fix it

Thanks for your response though. 😁

I'm glad that it worked for you, but the problem remains that this app is supposed to behave correctly even when installed on the SD card.
When I look into this bug I will either:

  • fix it so that the app works on the SD card
  • disable SD card installation on the AndroidManifest.xml so that users do not meet this bug anymore

Thank you @968378 for reporting this bug, I will adress it in due time
