Birthdays with Years

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Having birthdays listed in contacts in the format (mm/dd/yyyy)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? These birthdays do not show up in the calendar view (I'm thinking it's because the year listed (the year the person was born) is obviously not the same the current year). I expect (or would hope) that the application will show these birthdays for current months.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Version 1.3 on a Transformer Prime

From domschuermann@gmail.com on June 20, 2012 10:49:37 What Android version are you using? And what rom are you using? Stock Rom or a modified one?

Could you please follow the following procedure to help us fix the problem:

1. Install aLogcat from Google Play Store
2. Start aLogcat
3. Start Birthday Adapter and press "Synchronize now!"
4. Go back to aLogcat and save the log in a file
5. attach the log to this bug report

What should be seen in the log is something like: "Event Date String --- could not be parsed as a timestamp! Parsing failed!"

This is important for me!

From Adrian.N...@gmail.com on June 20, 2012 14:03:32 Absolutely, I'll run it on my Prime when I get home (it is running android 4.0.3 and a modified rom AndroWook 1.35).

However, after looking back through my first comment this morning, I mistyped the format for most of the typical birthday dates in my contacts. It is actually in the format "YYYY/MM/DD." To be clear, I have other contacts with birthdays written in the format "June 20," and those do show up correctly.

I'm also experiencing the same issue on my Droid X, running android 2.3.3 running the custom ROM VortexXGB. I'll get you a logcat from my prime later tonight (for some reason alogcat isn't reading my logs on the droid x).

Let me know if I can provide any other details.

From domschuermann@gmail.com on June 21, 2012 08:53:17 Unfortunately the log contains no errors.

What I don't understand really: Why do you have different birthday event formats in your contacts? Usually the contact editor in Android ICS should have a events section where you can add an event of the type birthday. The selection of the date should be done by this Android "Date Wheel".

Is it different on your phone? Can you explain more?

From domschuermann@gmail.com on June 21, 2012 09:06:03 I think reproducing the behaviour whould help me: How do you get contacts with the YYYY/MM/DD format and how do you get contacts with the "June 20," format?

From domschuermann@gmail.com on January 14, 2013 15:38:57 Should be fixed in 1.7, which should appear in short time on Google Play. When 1.7 did not fix this issue report back, please.
