October 6, 2020
App version: Unknown Android version: Unknown Device: Unknown Devices tested: 2 Automatic date & time: Unknown Automatic timezone: Unknown Fixed by Restart: No
"The hours display is the same as the Android hours display above it but the minutes are stuck at 10 on both phones."
October 11, 2020
App version: Probably 1.1.1 Android version: 7.1.1, 10 or 11 Device: BQ Aquarius U Plus, Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite Automatic date & time: Unknown Automatic timezone: Unknown Fixed by Restart: No
"There is a problem with time. It only updates once an hour, exactly each hour past ten."
Analysis The reports from October 6 and 11 both have the same characteristics. Possible causes: Time being fetched only once an hour; Time being fetched every second but the minute value being stuck.
I can't reproduce any of these bugs on my own device.
@itsarjunsinh have you tried displaying time with seconds and checking after sometime?
- also do you think we have missed
app running in background scenerio, I'm not sure wether it's applicable or not.
@override
void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) {
print(state);
if (state == AppLifecycleState.paused) {
// stop the timer
} else if (state == AppLifecycleState.resumed) {
// update the timer
}
}
Hi @xscotophilic, the second point you have raised is something worth looking into. https://github.com/itsarjunsinh/elder_launcher/blob/b7fad939cf488e06f846279fbdfa0be209626393/lib/providers/date_time_provider.dart#L12
The app updates the time every second. So, at first glance it would seem that even if the app might be resumed/brought back, the timer will be update automatically.. unless, Dart/Flutter doesn't automatically update the internal clock. Thanks a lot for the pointer, I really appreciate it.
