Notes

• add support for multiple timers
• separate timer actions from states by adding a new class TimerEvent to hold actions Reset, Start, Pause, Finish, Refesh that could be performed on a timer.
• make windowSoftInputMode=adJustPan for MainActivity
• should address this request

For now you can add only one count down timer. It would be nice to add more timers so they could count down to different events. Also the timers should have labels, and the position of the timers on the list shouldn't be fixed. It's optional to have each event different alarm settings.

Notes:

• In the older ViewPager (thanks to android debugger), onResume() was called as soon as the fragment is created doesn't matter whether it's visible or not. With ViewPager2, we have to ensure the views are set up properly in onViewCreated() to avoid visible delays as onResume() is called at a later, perfectly valid, stage when the fragment is actually visible to the user.
• As per this page, RTL paging is enabled automatically where appropriate based on locale (tested and works) but it's also possible to do so manually using setLayoutDirection().

Related to #58 and #38. It's a common use case (for me at least) to create a one-time alarm that goes off on a specific date and time. For example if I have to get up early for a flight, job interview, etc (basically any non repeating event). Sometimes the event is more than a week ahead and would love to be able to create these kinds of alarms like I can with the stock alarm app.

Currently timer alarms don't come through alarm sound and I keep on ending up missing timers as I put my phone on vibrate, is it possible to have an option for timers to use the alarm sound profile?

It is not possible to set one-off alarm for the current day. For example, if I am going to sleep at 2 AM (02:00) and want to wake up at 7 AM (07:00), it is not possible to set alarm as one-off alarms are automatically scheduled for the next day. I think that that it would be more convenient if the alarm would go off at the next time occurence.

Hey, every time my alarm rings it rings twice with about half a second of delay and it is anoying because it plays the music over itself. I'm running Lineage OS on a exynos S8 with micro g apps.

Hi,

first of all, many thanks for these really great apps!

I have a Motorola One with Android Pie and SimpleClock. There seems to be an issue with alarms and also with timers, once the display gets locked, or the phone goes to sleep.

I've read a similar issue with the app clock+, and it seems that with Android 9 they changed a few things regarding running applications in the background.

I've already disabled battery optimization settings for SimpleClock.

How to reproduce?

Alarm: Create an alarm for 5 minutes in the future, lock/sleep your phone, wait for the alarm to notify you, which will not happen.

Timer: Create a timer for i.e. 1 minute, lock/sleep your phone, wait one minute, nothing will happen...

best regards!

I would like to report 2 issues in the "Clock" application: a malfunction and a language error. The malfunction is that the date of the widget is not updated if you have not been in the application. The language error is that there should not be a comma between the day of the month and the rest of the date. So today it says "Ven, 20 Mai" (in French) when it should say "Ven 20 Mai". That said, congratulations on your work and application.

Nokia6 on Android 7.1.2. Simple Clock (SC) version 3.1.2.

SC alarm used to work but since today no matter what alarm i program it does not work anymore.

• After creating an alarm a message is shown "the alarm will sound in xx minutes"
• The upcoming alarm time is correctly indicated in the notification area.
• When the time of the alarm is reached nothing happens. NO sound, NO notification in the notification area. The next alarm is now indicated in the notification area.
• What i have tried is to set alarms from 2min to 20mins ahead, for today or all days, with and without label, with different alarm sounds selected.
• Closing the app after setting an alarm or leaving it open at foreground or background does not matter.
• I cleared the SC app cache and settings, removed it, re-installed it but no change.
• The countdown timer works and produces sounds and the notification message.

Phone settings and volumes are checked, other apps produce sound, do-not-disturb is not enabled. SC alarm used to work but for now its back to use the stock clock app for alarms.

How can i further debug this?

Is it at all possible to allow the ability to use stored music (mp3 files or FLAC etc) for the alarm clock? the default ring tones are useless and dont wake me up compared to playing something like some heavy metal.

Hi and thanks for your beautiful apps! I'd like to create a feature/change request for the restart-button on a running timer:

Currently it doesn't restart the timer but stops and resets it. Personally most of the time when clicking the restart button, I really want to restart the timer, not stop it. So I always have to click two times: restart + start.

Maybe it would be benefitial to change the behavior or even just add a third button: If a timer is running, the restart button will finish the timer and immediately restart it. A newly added stop button just stops and resets the timer to its initial value - like the restart button is currently doing. The pause button behaves as already known.

Thanks and kind regards, Manuel

I have Simple-Clock open and Timers screen with 6 timers: 40min, 4h, 5h, 6h, 23h, 23h.

The application works normal, when I regulary check the timers.

After 1-2-3 hours break, when I wakeup the phone (power button), the application shows a black screen. After 10-20 seconds the app works normal.

If I switch to another application and back to Simple-Clock (...Or, if I close and reopen Simple-Clock, I do not remember) Then, instead of black screen, I see the list of timers, BUT not frozen, not counting AND showing wrong/expired time. After 10-20 seconds the screen refresh and works normal.

This happened few times.

The stopwatch feature is wildly inaccurate. I did some tests:

Stopwatch ran for 1h 40m, short by 17m

With power monitoring disabled, stopwatch ran for 6h 50m, short by 5h 13m

With power monitoring and Doze disabled, stopwatch ran for 14h 0m, short by 8hrs 2m

Power saving mode was not enabled during these. This seems to happen when used for a lengthy period, and it's only ever short on time, suggesting the countdown is stopping at points. I imagine it's being put on standby via some androiď function like doze but disabling it per this app does nothing. Any ideas? Clock version 5.9.4 Android 7

Hi again, It would also be cool if you add an option for disabling the shadow behind the text, on the clock widget, Thank you so much in advance, sorry if I'm being a little bit annoying, Bye and have a nice day. 😃
