New update broke android widget

[mahurinj]

Just noticed that the calendar widget on Android is showing incorrect dates since the latest update 1.0.36. In the actual app they are displaying fine (which let me breath a sigh of relief) just the widget is off for some reason. It shows everything one day sooner than it actually is in the calendar.

@lmamane I think this may have to do with your changes. Can you have a look?

@mahurinj I can't reproduce. Which android version do you use? Does this happen with all events? Or only with e.g. all-day? The widget date is correct?

I also have this problem. The events are displayed one day earlier in the widget. The events are shown as if they happen a day before the scheduled one, no matter if it is for a few hours or the all-day.

In my case I have Android 9 with Etar 1.0.36.

Does recreating the widget change anything? Under https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar/actions there is a debug apk for each commit. Would be helpful if you could test from which commit the widget no longer works.

e.g. https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar/actions/runs/6261596621

The commit you suggested seems to work fine. The events are displayed in their corresponding days.

Can you have a look?

Glad to, but I need to reproduce. I can't. Anybody that has the problem / can reproduce:

1. Was the event created in an older version of etar? Then it may have been stored incorrectly. Just editing the event (change its date/time to something else, save, edit again, change it back to correct value) in the latest/new version would then fix the problem.
2. Please give exact reproduction instructions:
   1. exact date and time of the event, including timezone of the event
   2. what is the system-wide configured timezone?
   3. is "use home timezone" activated? What is the home timezone?

[Haisha10]

For example, I just created a new event (with the new version 1.0.36) for Saturday, October 7 from 9am to 2pm time zone GMT-5 (that's my local time zone). Inside the app it's displayed just fine but on the widget is shown as a day earlier (Friday, October 6 from 9am to 2pm).

@lmamane I can now reproduce if I choose a "negativ" system-wide timezone like in USA.

Is there anything special that needs to happen to make Fdroid happy?

@wkeiuluf F-Droid normally picks up releases automatically but I just did so manually to make sure it is in the next build cycle. See here for how long it takes to be available: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis/FAQ#how-long-does-it-take-for-my-app-to-show-up-on-website-and-client

Understood, thanks for the link!

One last question here:
The new version has still not been integrated into LOS20 and I can't update it because of some permission issues.
Anyone knows what needs to be done to get this fixed?
