I need to explain last changes into the notification playback policies.

These changes affects only Lollipop devices (Android 5.0 or higher).

When a notification needs to be played...

A) If you have a watch connected to the phone

A1) The notification isn't played in the phone if you have checked "silence if wearable connected"

A2) If you don't have checked "silence if wearable connected" goto B)

B) If you don't have a watch connected to the phone (or in case of A2)

B1) If you phone isn't silenced (normal mode):

B11) If you like to play notifications using system volume for notif: The notification is played at the notifications volume

B12) If you have set a custom volume: The notification is played at custom volume

B2) Your phone is in prioritary or none modes:

B21) If you like to play notifications using system volume for notif: The notification is not played at all

B22) If you have set a custom volume but you haven't checked the "play notification even if silenced": The notification is not played at all

B23) You have set a custom volume and checked the "play notification even if silenced": The notification is played at desired volume (it uses the Music stream instead of Notifications stream to bypass Lollipop restrictions)

Please, let me know if there is any problem with that :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Just uploaded a new version that solves (I think) the issues with the Music stream that some users has notified to my email.

Please, don't forget to notify if you have issues.

Is it possible to have the popup only take up part of the screen like any.do: http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-c...y.DO-Android-iOS-Update-Feb13-Popup_thumb.jpg

It is infuriating when the pop up steals the entire screen when I'm reading something. A third of screen pop up is far less intrusive.
[Android Apps and Games] :
This will be a future option (no ETA at this moment).

I assume you know that the app includes a option called "Do not bother if the display is on" ;)

Unexpected notification sound

Hi Bartito,

First of all, thanks a bunch for the PRO code! Anyway, I'll buy the app if my tests are conclusive (and they almost are ;) )...

On my LG G3, 4.4.2, I have an unexpected behavior :

I have no specific settings per calendar, Yes, I double-checked ;)

in "Global notification settings", I set up a given sound,

in "Notification volume", I unchecked "System volume", and changed the level

I didn't check "Play even if silenced"

However, sound is played even if my Droid is in "vibrate-only mode", while all other apps don't play any sound

Any clue?

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

I have detected (and corrected) this in other of my apps a few days ago.

Basically the issue is due to I'm checking if the device is in silent mode and vibrate mode isn't silent mode (but I think I need to treat as silent mode).

I will try to update in the next 48 hours.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TerDale:
Stumbled upon another issue:

- long ago, I synchronized a Zimbra calendar on my LG G3, using CalDav Sync Adapter,

- works fine, and is displayed in Google Calendar as other calendars. I assigned it the purple color,

- it is also properly displayed by your app, but with no apparent color,

- as a result, when a notification is displayed, it is all on light grey background, instead of having the title on a background color fitting the one assigned to the calendar,

- the issue is that the notification title is written in white, so white on light grey, what is hardly readable as you can imagine!

So, could you find a workaround for such calendars, seen as without color? Could be using black foreground or using a predefined background color...

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

The issue with the vibration is corrected in the last release (I think).

Related to this issue: can you post a screenshot?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TerDale:
Yes, it is! Great support!

Here you are:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Please

If your device is rooted and you use root explorer or other file explorer capable to display database files, can you let me known the value of the column calendarcolor in table Calendars in file /data/data/com.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db for the calendar that isn't displaying the color correctly?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] :
A new update is live...

You can select the calendar color in this new version... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] TerDale:
Terrific! I didn't even have time to send you the requested value...

Thanks, Bartito, you're doing a great job, really! I'll buy the app, you really deserve it, well... I mean, both the app & you deserve it!

Signed: a very happy user :)

Hi there! Just setting up a new rooted S5, and I'm having trouble getting the notifications coming up on my Pebble.

I've disabled notifications in the default calendar (Samsung) app, and in this app notifications are enabled on all calendars. It does come up on screen properly.

I mainly want to be able to have the phone vibrate, Pebble come up with it and either dismiss it off the Pebble, or if not dismissed keep repeating the notification if that is all possible?

EDIT: Also its ticked in notifications in the Pebble app.
[Android Apps and Games] D1VER:
Good app
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry, but there are support for AndroidWear, not for the Pebble.

Ah, great. That option will do nicely. Thanks. Great app.

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

I think it keeps making a noise every few minutes in priority and all. I don't want it to. I have it set not to make noise, and not to use a sound and to repeat interval to 50 days (I don't really know what this is for!). I'm pretty sure it is this app's notifications that are making the noise. Any idea how to fix?
[Android Apps and Games] jrbmed08:
I just installed this app on my rooted Verizon Moto X 2014 and am having some difficulty getting it to work. I came here from the Extreme Battery Life Guide thread, where the OP suggested I limit one of the system's calendar alarms and use this instead (see this post). I use Today Calendar as my default calendar app. I turned off notifications in both the stock calendar and Today, but I haven't been able to get notifications from your app. Can you point me in the direction of something I can do to troubleshoot?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

This app uses the default calendar alarms provide in order to trigger the first alert for each reminder.

Second and next notifications are managed by the app due to the stock calendar provider don't support recurrence.

But if your calendar provider isn't capable to generate the first event due to you have freeze it... I think the app can't work properly.
[Android Apps and Games] jrbmed08:
Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I thought; this app isn't a replacement for stock calendar alarms but relies on them to work. I must have limited too many alarms.
[Android Apps and Games] :
You are right.

This app provides a way to receive recurrent alarms for your calendar events, and also to define different notifications to each calendar, but it requires the stock calendar provider (tour the stock calendar app)

all day events alarms

Hi.

Thank you for this great app.

I have a question, why do alarms set for all day events don't get treated by the app? Is it by design, is it a bug or is there some setting I have to configure somewhere?

Sorry if it has been answered before, couldn't find any mention in this thread.

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

mprost
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

All day alarms are managed by the app.

A option exists to do not show events that don't has alarms.

But if the event has alarm and the event (or the alarm) is in the range (1 week by Dee default) is displayed (at least in all my tests).

Please, post a screenshot of the issue.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] mprost:
OK, I'm gonna have to test this more thoroughly, in previous days I've been seeing alarms missed for all day events, but right now I'm unable to reproduce the issue. I'll try to pinpoint the problem more accurately and will get back to you.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Cheers,

One issue I have since few releases. My notification sound is 'ding dong' (I think is a common available sound on Android devices) and if I receive a notification while the screen is off I just here the 'ding' and then the sound is abruptly interrupted. If the screen is turned on this issue disappear.

Is it fixable or I have to look for a shorter sound? Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] :
This is really strange.

If your device is rooted, please, send a logcat including the abruptly stopped sound.

If not, please, contact by email to receive a auto logged version.

In any case, sorry, but I don't have a PC until first days of September.

Thanks for the report.

How register a email address to use with outlook for android?

Post a link to the outlook for android app. How enable calendar in outlook for android and how create a calendar event.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 35fan:
Create an account at www.live.com with email and password. Set up calendar events.

Outlook for android app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.outlook&hl=en

I'm creating calendar events on Microsoft Outlook on my PC. All have notifications/alerts. These sync to my phone.

Once the Outlook app is loaded to the phone, sign in with the same account email and password. Emails and calendars sync automatically.

In Calendar Events Notifier, under Calendar selection, there is not an option to change the email address from gmail. Perhaps if I could select the Outlook or Live.com email address, I could see the Outlook calendar. As it is, only Google calendars are showing for selection.
[Android Apps and Games] 35fan:
Got it to work with a hint from another thread. This may only be coincidental, but it worked.

I had made the Outlook calendar the default system calendar in the Outlook settings.

It seems the operating system is defaulting to the Google calendar. To change that, open the built-in default calender (not Outlook) on the device and create a new message. At the upper left of the new message, at the dot, change the place to set the appointment from the Google calendar to the device default calender. Set the appointment. That seems to be all it took to get Calendar Notifier to find the Outlook calendar.

Dear Bartito,

Here you will find the requested logcat: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tjmrqt0o8ok99qa/2015-09-04_10.35-ding.zip?dl=0

I used syslog app selecting all logs and enabling the privacy feature to exclude personal information (I hope it works and I hope dropbox sharing works too)

Here the sound: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q11lxtye6iesepu/Ding_Dong.ogg?dl=0

To better specify the issue: most of times, when the screen is off the "ding dong" sound is just played to the first "ding dong"

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

I think, the playback is end abruptly due to you have enabled "Don't disturb if screen is off" in my app and

your device is turning on the screen, probably due to you have enabled it on settings...

Please check this settings:

* Calendar events notifier:

- Don't disturb if screen is off

- Set screen on

* Android settings:

- Ambient screen (Enable screen to catch the device or receive notifications)
[Android Apps and Games] ciarpame:
Hi Bartito, my settings:

- don't disturb if the screen in on: enabled

- set screen on: enabled

- ambient display: disabled

If I disable "don't disturb if the screen in on" then then sound is always played correctly (but I have to turn on the screen manually to handle the reminder).
[Android Apps and Games] :
You are right.

There is a bug in the logic of the notifications and the payback is stopped

When screen is turned on if you check "set screen on" and "don't disturb if screen is on".

This will be corrected in the next release.

Thanks for report it!

Robert

EDIT: New version is out and the issue is corrected. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] ew:
I tried this a while ago but not recently.

While I found the app to be excellent, there was one item missing for me and I thought I would inquire.

Is there a capability to delay notification for all day events until some time?

My default notification is 15 minutes and I don't want to get notified at 11:45pm. Quiet time doesn't do it for me, it just makes the notification less intrusive. I prefer no notification at all until the next morning and then a full notification.

I was looking for a change log but did not see one…

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

If you are using Google calendar (web or android versions) you can select exact time for the all day events notification.

With this app you can set the recurrent reminders delay and also snooze to a determinate instant, but the first notification is generated by the Google calendar provider and is played always (if calendar is enabled)
[Android Apps and Games] ew:
Very clever, I had not thought of the Google Calendar configuration. (I am wondering if that is somewhat new in Google...). That sounds like it would work for google calendar all day events!
[Android Apps and Games] Syphen5:
So I just got myself a wear device and noticed a funny little thing that could maybe be fixed. When I have the app set to 'Silence if wearable connected' and my phone is set to vibrate only, the phone still vibrates. This is different than the current Android Wear setting for other default notifications that would only notify on the wearable.

I can deal with it, but figured I would bring it up. Love the app by the way!
[Android Apps and Games] :
just updated...

thanks for the report ;)
[Android Apps and Games] adeelmysore:
NVM figured it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Syphen5:
Perfect! Thanks for the quick response too.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Related to the auto snooze based on event start (or event end)

The main goal of this app are the recurrent events, in order to don't loss a calendar notification.

To implement that, I define a automatic snooze time (you can set a different default snooze time for each one of your calendars).

When a alert is triggered, the app notifies the user, and the user can snooze to a determinate time (based on a custom delay from now, event start or event end) or also dismiss the alert.

If the user don't interacts with the alert to dismiss or snooze it, it will be automatically triggered after the default snooze time (that the user has configured in the calendar settings).

Due to that, isn't a good idea (IMO) to allow users to set the automatic snooze time to a interval based in the event start. Note that, in this case, the alerts will only be triggered one time (if the alert is set to event begin time) or two times.

Sorry, but I think the actual automatic snooze mode, based on current time, will continue without changes for now...

[Android Apps and Games] TerDale:
Hi Bartito,

I'm facing an annoying issue: it appears that CEN ignores all-day events with a reminder. I missed several recently (birthdays), so I created a fake one with a 1-day before reminder. That confirmed the issue: I had no notification from CEN...

I checked settings and didn't find any concerning all-day events.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

Tried by my self and is working fine.

Note that you need to add a alarm into the event.
[Android Apps and Games] TerDale:
Sure I've set an alarm when created event.

Trying again I think I have understood the conditions of appearance:

- for all concerned all-day events, I set an alarm, keeping the default proposed by my cal app (aCalendar): ie 1 day before at 00:00

- if I create a similar test event: it is displayed by CEN incorrectly with no alarm!

- while, if I change the time, ie 1 day before at 13:25 instead of 00:00, then an alarm is displayed for this event in CEN, and the notification is generated

So, now I wonder where is the bug: in CEN when time is 00:00, or more likely (?) in aCalendar where default alarm wouldn't be actually set...

Could you try on your side with an alarm at 1 day before at 00:00, to check if an alarm is shown in CEN, please?

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hello

Tried and the alarm is displayed.

I need to confirm this night if is triggered, but I think yes.

Please, contact by email to receive a auto logged version

That helps to solve the issue, due to I'm can't duplicate.

[Android Apps and Games] TerDale:
Thanks Robert, I'll send you an email.

Great app!

Is it possible to add Pushbullet support so that we can snooze (including custom snooze times) from the PC?
[Android Apps and Games] jlpatte2:
I have a couple questions about android wear snooze options, right now there is a giant preset list of snooze times would it be possible to allow adjusting the visisble snooze options?

Is there a way to have the snooze "5 minutes till event" and "snooze till event" option in android wear.

Thanks, Josh Patterson
[Android Apps and Games] :
The snooze times in the androidwear app are exactly the same that are used by default in the phone app, and mimic the last used snooze times, and are allways based on current time.

Due to the basic androidwear interface and options, I'm not really interested in add much more options at the androidwear app for now...
[Android Apps and Games] Syphen5:
First off, I love this app. It makes my life easier and I love the Android Wear support.

One issue I'm having is when I have my wear device alerts set to "None, Not even alarms" I still get notifications from notifier. Is there any way that could be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Please, in app settings, into the global calendar settings (or under each specific calendar settings if you have set it),

into the volume options, you can select the profiles that are generating audible notifications. you need to uncheck the profile "none".
[Android Apps and Games] Syphen5:
I have it set to use system volumes and the 'None' checkbox is disabled.

If I have 'Silence if wearable connected' checked, will the phone still be silent if I uncheck the 'Use system volumes for notifications' and my wear device is connected?
[Android Apps and Games] :
yes, if the watch is connected and you have enabled "silence if wearable connected" the notifications aren't played into the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Syphen5:
I'll let you know if this works. Thanks!

Hello

I've just discover your app and I love it :)

I'm learning how to use it and I wonder if it's possible a sound loop till I discard manually the notification

I've tried a work arround, set a reminder every minute and a sound which last almost a minute. When the remind start, I can see that the new alert is in a minute, but after finish the sound, this value change to one more minute, so I have 1 minute sound, 1 minute silence.

Is there any way to have sound everytime?

Hi Bartito,

are you planning to support reminders in some way? http://gmailblog.blogspot.it/2015/12/add-to-dos-to-your-google-calendar.html
[Android Apps and Games] :
The Master plan says yes...

The today reality says yes but...

a) Reminders aren't synced with the public calendar API

b) I have tried a few days ago to locate the reminders data at calendar database and can't locate it

c) Calendar isn't sending any public Intent to notify other apps/process that any reminder needs to be triggered.

EDIT:

I have located the reminders database. They are managed by GooglePlayServices. I supposse that Google will include a API to accesss reminders in a future release.

If the API (public or private) isn't released, I think reminders can't be managed by this app, due to isn't possible to access to the other apps data without use root methods :(
