I think it should be possible to cancel the alarm any time before it is set to go off without needing to use the QR code. This could be made optional through the Settings menu.

I think there should be an option to keep the alarm after you turn it off with the qr code, so you don't have to "start" it again each day, because you might forget.

1. Option to choose to use all barcodes or just QR codes
2. Option to hasten minutes UI speed
3. Option to allow for alarm dismissal without scanning before the alarm goes off

edit: 4. Display time until alarm time shown

As noted by the app now when you choose a custom file as your alarm sound, this can cause a crash when it attempts to play audio if the user picks the wrong thing, specifically if they try to use a playlist file (.m3u) as their custom file. You can probably detect this crash right as they pick the file rather when it is attempted to be played but I don't care to try to. Or figure out the mime type and try to exclude it that way - but I have been very frustrated by many apps that expect all audio files to be mp3s and would rather allow the user to figure it out than restrict them artificially.

There is also a crash which I'm not exactly sure how to reproduce which happened when I selected the same file multiple times in a row to be the new alarm. But it doesn't always happen, and once it works once it shouldn't break as it was related to saving the file I think.

Personally, I would still merge this because it is still a very good feature to have, people who use F-droid are probably okay with some small amount of jank in order to get (imo critical) features implemented faster, but if you want to not merge I don't care I wrote this for me. I probably also won't spend too much extra time trying to fix it if you decide this isn't good and won't fix it yourself.

Works by duplicating a file to local app storage, I didn't want to have to do that but it seems android's security model also prevents me from knowing any file paths even with storage permissions when using content API and I don't care to spend too much more time fighting with Android's weird APIs.

Only tested on android 13 so far. I'm not sure what would happen on an older version. I think pre-11 is when they changed some file APIs significantly.

If the user had an alarm set, then they update the app to a newer version, the app no longer shows the alarm as set, but the alarm will still go off. When the alarm goes off, the screen to turn it off does not appear and the user must find and open the app, "start" the alarm, then subsequently stop the alarm immediately afterwards.

For reference, I am running QRAlarm on a OnePlus 7 Pro with Android 11, LineageOS build 18.1-20221009-nightly-guacamole. I doubt this is a device or ROM specific issue, but I could see the behavior potentially differing between major android releases.

I noticed you first made this app in Java and remade it now in Kotlin. However I would like to suggest making this app in Flutter. The reason is because flutter allows you to compile the app for Android, iOS, Windows, MacoS and Linux! Flutter uses Dart and is growing in popularity.

I know this would be the 3rd time you made this app, but your app can be installed on any device and used by anyone and not limited to Android users.

I'm on android 10 and attempting to play the system default alarm tone crashes the app immediately. Also if it's set to the default tone, the alarm doesn't ring when it should (probably due to crashing again). Switching to one of the 3 included alarms (gentle guitar or one of the other two), everything seems to work just fine.

My phone is poco x3 nfc, unlocked and rooted, with Resurrection Remix custom Rom installed.

I tested it on my girlfriend's phone (unrooted huawei p30 lite) and it seems to work fine.

Sorry for not providing a crash log but I don't really know how, since when I press "copy crash log url" after the app crashes, it says "Error uploading the log to dogbin" and nothing gets copied to clipboard. I'd be happy to provide a log if you guide me as to how to get one. EDIT: I don't know if this is useful, but I downloaded an app called MatCat and recorded 2 crashes with it in debug mode, here's the pastebin entry: https://pastebin.com/4hfKzHxr

It would be nice to be able to use normal barcodes as well as QR codes. It's hard to use this app on the go when you may not have a QR code on hand, or no printer at home to print one out. It would be nice to just be able to scan any household object.

This repository implements a barcode scanner if that's of any help.

Thanks!

Hi,

This small PR adds a button to get your app on F-Droid. You can later add a button for Google Play the same way : [<img src="https://play.google.com/intl/en_us/badges/images/generic/en-play-badge.png" alt="Get it on Google Play" height="80">]()

You can now eventually add the fdroid and/or f-droid tags that will appear on the right side of the repo.

When enabled, this option will make the alarm start from 0% volume and gently increase it to normal over 5-10 seconds (duration could be configurable), while also suppressing vibration for the period.

This will prevent the alarm from startling the user awake (as it usually happens to me, especially with ringtones that start suddenly or with loud volume settings), and instead gently wake them up without stress.

This is currently halfway possible if one was to edit their ringtone, but it's way too much work (especially if you like to change alarm ringtones often) and it wouldn't suppress vibrations, which are the usual culprit that startles me awake when my alarm goes off.

Setting the alarm is very motion intensive because you can't use a "fling" gesture to cause the setting to change quickly. The worst case (changing the minutes by 30) takes a minimum of 8 full-screen swipes on my phone.

Or, make it so you can tap the numbers to open a keyboard entry mode. Or both.

Please add a setting which will give the user a notification reminder to set the alarm for the next day. The setting will decide weather this will be enabled and what time in the day the notification will go off.

This way the user will never forget to set their alarm.
