Bug : time zone refuses to change to utc time zone #18

Closed jubreal closed 6 years ago

jubreal commented 6 years ago

Expected behavior

When the time zone is set to utc zone , the in-app time for records should be in utc time zone (gmt zone) and not the local time zone of the geographic location of the user as the app have this feature present.

Actual behavior

The time zone refuses to change from the local time zone to the utc (gmt) time zone. Which means this feature does not work like it's supposed to.

How to reproduce

  1. Download the app from fdroid

  2. Launch the app

  3. Click on the menu icon (3 dots on the top right corner)

  4. Click on preferences

  5. Check the box for time in utc.

  6. Compare the in-app time with the local time of your zone. (It is the same with the local time zone , my own local time zone is gmt +1)

  7. You can repeat the process of checking and unchecking the utc time zone box, the result remains the same as time refuses to change to utc time zone.

Hello, I'm one of the moderators at Utopian and I thought it would be useful if I provided some additional information surrounding this issue which I believe you may find useful. Although this particular contribution provides information surrounding the medical record shown in the add medical log screen I also conducted testing surrounding the times being saved correctly to the csv file, please see my test steps below:

  1. Download & Launch
  2. Go to preferences
  3. Ensure UTC is checked
  4. Create medical record
  5. Save Medical Record
  6. Send Medical Record, Name Medical UTC Time
  7. Choose Google Drive
  8. Once it has been uploaded, the clear data cache for application
  9. Launch app
  10. Ensure save a UTC is not checked
  11. Create medical record
  12. Save Medical Record
  13. Send Medical Record
  14. Choose Google Drive, Name Medical Local Time
  15. Go to Google Drive
  16. Open "Medical UTC Time" and check time column
  17. Open "Medical Medical Local Time" and check time column

Expected Result

The "Medical UTC Time" should be logged in UTC time and "Medical Local Time" records should be logged at your local device time.

Actual Result

Records saved in both Medical UTC Time & Medical Local Time are saved in local time.

Enviroment

Application Version: 0.2.1 Operating system: Android 5.0.2 Device: Samsung Galaxy Alpha Model Number: SM-G850

I would also like to note that there was some question surrounding whether this was a bug although I believe if it would be best for you to decide in light of both mine and the contributor's findings. If you have any further questions about the bug I'm sure both I and the contributor would be happy to help.

I've seen previously that some of the contributions that have been provided to your project via Utopian have been less than satisfactory and would like to welcome any questions or improvements you would like to see to issues submitted to via Utopian.

Thanks, Tobias

Thank you, as I live in the GMT time zone, this was not obvious, even with the switch to Summer Time. I have now seen this myself.

I will be returning from Greece shortly and will have a better chance to work on a fix
