ability to create alarms by selecting the specific date

+1 !
For me it's the only reason not to use this app... I'm saddly absolutely not capable to help. I just wonder how is it possible to manage all the rest of the application and not this function that seems quite "natural" and allowed by the OS.

... I just wonder how is it possible to manage all the rest of the application and not this function that seems quite "natural" and allowed by the OS.

Because I'm learning code on my own without having studied it at school (I've only been coding for a year), so there are certain functions that I find hard to exploit because nobody ever taught me anything.

With more free time, maybe I could do it, but with the constraints of my personal life, it's complicated.

In any case, I can confirm that it is possible to implement this feature.

I meant too that I wonder how you manage to do all the rest :)
I hope somebody will help 🤞 :)

I guess you know I didn't create the app; 90% is based on AOSP clock.
For my part, I've only allowed the user more customization, reworked the digital widgets, settings, a bit of the timer, permissions, and other things I've forgotten.
I only succeeded because it was easy to play with these pieces of code.

I hope somebody will help 🤞 :)

I hope so too.

is it also possible to set multiple dates, by just pressing on specific days?

[BlackyHawky]

@Komas19-new
That's the goal to resolve this issue but I'm not sure how to do it 😬
Moreover, my free time is currently limited.

I've finally had a few hours to work on it, and the results seem to be very positive.

Currently, the most annoying thing is that you have to delete the data from the app for the modification to take effect.
I'll try to find a way not to have to do this for the next update.
In any case, we can assume that this issue will be resolved very soon.

You can test it with the apk below.

@Komas19-new
I was wrong: you can only select one date per alarm, and that seems logical. (The Google app works the same way.)

Fantastic I'm very happy 🔝🔝🎉🎉

[BlackyHawky]

I'm really sorry but I really don't know how to make this change without having to reinstall the application or clear the data.

Indeed, I had to modify the SQL database and every time I changed these files, the application crashed during an update.

Fortunately, we can now make a backup/restore.

Do you mind if we unfortunately have to reinstall the app (or clear the data)?

[qw123wh]

For me it is not a problem to reinstall the app or delete the data.

Is the crash caused by SQL database update?
I found something I don't know if it can help

@qw123wh
Thank you very much for your links!! 🎉🎉
But why didn't I find this sooner?!! This would have avoided a big inconvenience when version 2.6 was released…

In any case, thank you again because according to my tests it seems functional. 😉

[BlackyHawky]

@qw123wh
I'm providing you with an early release of the application so that you can benefit from this improvement. 😉

Thanks to your research, it's obviously not necessary to delete the application's data. Thanks again.

Thanks ❤️, I'm glad you found the solution through those links.
With this feature we have officially surpassed Google Clock 🎉🎉

This app has reached a very high level 🔝🔝🔝

@qw123wh
As mentioned in #136, adding this feature causes a bug when the days of the week are selected which is very annoying because it breaks a main functionality of the application.

Unfortunately I didn't find the solution; so I preferred to remove this feature in order to provide a "clean" version as soon as possible.

I hope to find the source of the problem soon.

I also hope you won't be too disappointed.

[qw123wh]

@BlackyHawky Don't worry, I understand that this feature caused several bugs, we will find a solution in the future
