simpledeadlines's Issues

Simple Deadlines don't start when reboot the phone

I'm using Android Lollipop 5.1 and Simple Deadlines don't start whit the system when you reboot. How can I do for fix this problem?

Specific time for deadlines

The ability to set a specific time during the day for each individual deadline would be pretty useful, instead of having the app countdown to midnight of the set day(which is what I assume it does), a countdown to the set time could be used. Further down the line, this could be expanded by having a detailed view which shows an active countdown in HH:MM:SS for the truly neurotic among us.

Notification with zero deadline open

Hello, I think there's a little bug.
There's no active deadline in the application, but every days I see an empty notification !! Boring !
Do you think that's a feature or a bug ?
Thank's :-)

Custom colors for urgency

Easy day count selection

Propose alternate solutions to select a number of days (e.g.: buttons for day, week, month).

DrawerLayout icon (ActionBar) isn't animated

Calendar view doesn't use system's locale

The US locale is used always used.

Automatic test dataset generation

Add a group "All" and mix deadlines from all groups

Can't go back when entered a group :(
I'm using your app everyday!

Configurable default group's name

Reverse archived deadlines order

Deadlines are displayed from older to newer. For archived ones it's more logical to reverse the display.

Add day count and label in the editor

Above the calendar view / spinners.

Option for

It would be possible to introduce an option in settings that allows switching between Monday and Sunday as the first day of the week in the calendar view?

It would also be wonderful to have some kind of synchronization with GNU/Linux PCs, but I imagine it will be much more complicated

Thanks a lot.

bug app closes with on error message on group list view

App stalls and closes with error message, frequently happens, always when list of groups visible. either when deselecting group or selecting group, with group selected before or not...
not seen any way to make it certain, but happens from often to sometimes...

[Bug] Group is overwritten when Deadline is checked

Whenever one checks a given deadline, the 'Group' of the checked deadline is reset to the default group, or as set in the preferences.

The problem seems to be in the condition here in the #update() method.

Ideally one would want the default group set only when the user tries to explicitly update the group field to a whitespace or empty String(""). Right now, if the group is not passed(null) to the DeadlineProvider#update(), it is simply overwritten instead of preserving the original value.

Add a description for deadlines

Deadline would have a long description (let's say < 256 characters). That implies changes in serialization and UI.

ungrouped task view

create a group to display view tasks belonging to no group only

Change color for archived deadline

Sexy gray?

Custom amount of day for urgency

improvement only, auto-fill of selected group

When creating a task, auto-fill in field "group " with name of currently selected group, if not showing default list

show finished deadlines

If you accidently finish a deadline it's gone forever. That's not perfect.

Dialog-like editor

Change the editor activity to a modal dialog style.

Fast show top five(or less/more) deadline days tasks

something like bar which include buttons with last(f.e. 5) days-deadlines to display tasks on this days instead of all(sorry if i lost that functionally if it able 😢 )!

Show day label (mon, tue, ...)

improvement: display group name

instead of " in progress" on to, display selected group name.

Add link to getlocalization.com in README

Drawer doesn't toggle with actionbar icon

Change default locale to EN

Default locale is FR.

make fontsize customizeable

The size tasks are giant (on the nexus 5).

Import deadlines needed if export implemented

Desinstalled app after exporting deadlines.
Reinstalled app version 3.2.1: no possibility to import deadlines, only export...
A nice file is there with all the data but it's not usable!

Import/Export

• Import from file
• Export to file
• Create from uri
• Share as uri

Russian translation are added

http://www.getlocalization.com/simpleDeadlines/editor/21941/

DashClock integration

Display urgent deadlines.
Change license to GPLv3 to comply with APL2.

Notification with 0 deadline

When there's only archived deadlines the notification is shown but shouldn't.

Bulk group edit

Change the group for multiple deadlines. Selection goes the same way as selection for deletion.

Add an option to archive checked deadlines > 0 days

[Featur request] Repeating events

I thought that maybe it can be useful to implement a system for repeating events, perhaps marking the days of the week, or how many days ....

Group completion doesn't work

In the editor screen, group names should be autocompleted but i doesn't seem to work.

Cleanup general design

Option to make notification persistent when there are urgent tasks

Enable by default?
Could be extended to a contextual persistence.

Widget

Installed size

Compiled apk is at 1 MB while installed size is almost 2,5 MB. Since some of us have low end phones with limited disk space, this size for a simple* app like this is questionable. I suppose the external libraries are the cause of the size increase, am I right? Is there a way to reduce the size?

• Disclaimer: My intention is not to disregard or to slur, I think this is app is very useful. I only try to start a discussion which could help improve the app.
