Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Every time I open Calendar from a Kvaesitso calendar widget the view in the app changes to daily. I understand it might be because the intent sent contains the current time, but honestly I don't know much about those things.
Describe the solution you'd like I'd like there to be a way to set a default view that wouldn't change when I open the app from a third party widget.
Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatively, the app could remain in the previous view even when given the time data.
Additional context URI from the interceptor: intent://com.android.calendar/time/1704671957150#Intent;scheme=content;launchFlags=0x3000000;end After deleting the numbers after /time/ the app doesn't change the view.
If the widget shows the current date and the intent has the time parameter, it is completely valid for the app to open the daily view.
This drives me insane and needs to be fixed please, you can add a option to disable this at least, then everyone can be happy if they actually want it like this to leave it on but i don't because my daily view is normally empty and it's annoying to have to change it each time.
@gaberilde The alternative I eventually came to was setting up an event in Key Mapper that immediately changes the view to my preferred when I double tap my fingerprint scanner. I imagine you could do something similar in Tasker.
Though, of course, nothing beats the app just working as you wish.

Guess i could but trying to avoid accessibility running constantly as much as possible to keep my phone running smoothly but yeah all i want is a option to turn it off would be a lot easier
It's strange that adding an option for this is not being considered, I totally agree with @gaberilde, It drives me crazy, I have to change the view every time I open the app!
I wonder how many users turn away from Fossify Calendar because of this configuration?
@Aga-C I wonder if you would reconsider your decision to not add this option. I think it would make the UX a lot better and clearly many users happier, myself included.
Thanks again
I guess this will be revisited since it has been requested again and again, reopening for now.
Personally i think the view to open from event list widget option should be respected since it does nothing for me.
I add myself to the list of people that are annoyed by this missing feature. I use a meteo widget on my home screen, and when I tap in the date it opens the calendar app. I would like to have the option to change the default landing view and keep it like that all the time (in my case, I prefer the monthly and daily view)

I totally agree. I have replaced all of the system apps with Fossify but I still cannot do it with calendar due to this one behaviour. There is nearly never a time where I would look at the daily view rather than weekly. I already have a widget that tells me the events for the day. The only reason I would want to open the full app is to look at the whole week.
Please consider changing this.
The amount of frustration is unquantifiable. Every single time, the empty ugly daily view. Please, add the option. Thanks.
I decided to comment just to support the position of who says this is a valuable enhancement. Thank you for your work and effort!
I do hope this gets added soon, i dont expect it to be too hard and everyone agrees that this view shouldnt be forced me also so the option to disable this should be added.
