Using a date format with day of the week causes app to crash #495
Comments

Also having this issue. Just installed today and running version It also makes the app unusable until I clear all storage related to it. |

@hplewis Would you mind installing F-droid and using the version from there? v1.10.2 is over a year old, I believe we might have fixed a bug related to this since then @theOperand |

I'm using v1.15.1, the latest version from F-Droid

@theOperand Did you use one of the predefined date codes, or one you put together yourself? We added a date code very recently, I wonder if there was a bug in it? #477 |

Updating to 1.15.1 seems to have fixed the crashes for me at least. I was/am using a custom string. |

It happens on both custom string and regular formats with day of the week
for me. I haven't tried custom strings without day of the week. (partially
because the custom string format isn't entirely clear to me)

@theOperand This does not fix the problem at all, however they may help you understand how "simple date format" works: They are written from a developer's format, so may be slightly arcane to the average person. In that case, this may be slightly more intelligible: http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0040__Data-Type/SimpleDateFormat.htm |

The way we handle dates and times is weird, the hyphen in the middle causes problems for many unwary users (discussed many times). I recall we talked about using a built-in library rather than doing it ourselves. #287 (comment) |

@theOperand Where are you at with this, could you give us an update? Cheers |
|
I upgraded my LineageOS finally, which seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks for your help! |
|
@theOperand Did you reinstall forcastie from scratch, or take a backup and use that? |
|
I reinstalled everything from scratch. However, there is still a bug. The short day of the week formats (eg Sun, Mon, etc) don't cause a crash, but the full days of the week (Sunday, Monday, etc) do. |
I guess something was reset to a safe, default value.
This is interesting, it narrows the bug slightly. thanks for the feedback |

I am having this issue too on LineageOS with the latest version |
I get this bug on LineageOS 17.1. Reproduction is fairly simple on my device: Just go to settings, choose a date format with day of the week, e.g. "Thursday - 22:00", and go back to have the app crash.
I don't know how to provide logs, but will provide them if somebody tells me how :)
