From domschuermann@gmail.com on May 12, 2013 18:10:51 Where are the contacts coming from? Are you syncing with Google?

[dschuermann]

From alex.je...@gmail.com on May 12, 2013 18:15:54 Most of them are sync with Google. Some are from facebook with HaxSync.

[dschuermann]

From domschuermann@gmail.com on May 12, 2013 18:23:55 Does this problem exist on all contacts or only on them synced with HaxSync?

Are you sure that no year is defined for the problematic contacts? There is a checkbox to disable the year on those.

From alex.je...@gmail.com on May 12, 2013 18:30:58 On all contacts. I checked it now again. Yes, I'm sure that no year is defined. It shows for all contacts, for which I didn't define year of birth or didn't get from social service.

Hallo, habe dasselbe Problem. Kontakte stammen ausschließlich aus lokalem Adressbuch (Samsung Galaxy S3 mini, Android 4.1.2). Wenn dort kein Geburtsjahr angegeben ist bzw. die Option abgewählt wurde, gibt der Birthday Calendar einfach 43 als Alter an.

Got this exact same problem on a Nexus 4 running 4.2.2. Not using the fix.

[dschuermann]

Under which Account are the contacts declared? Facebook, Caldav-sync, or something else?

[Nathan-NL]

The Android/Google contacts.

[fheinle]

same problem here with birthdays that come from Google. they're all 43,making them born 1970 (although of course not on 1.1.)

[patrickrosendahl]

Hi, ich habe das Problem auch. Android 4.2.2: Telefon -> Kontakte -> Kontakt aussuchen -> Edit -> Geburtstag -> "Jahr eingeben" Checkbox abschalten Dann sind die Kontakte 1970 geboren. Ich nutze nur die internen Kontakte, kein Google oä. Kannst mich gerne kontaktieren. Gruß, Patrick

I have a similar (but slightly different) problem: contact birthdays sync'd from Google that have no year set show up as "Contact Name: Birthday (44)" in the calendar. Moto X, 4.4.2, rooted, stock, unlocked BL. Birthday Adapter 1.17.

[fheinle]

yes, that's because it's not 2014 and birthdays without dates seem to be set to 1970 (start of Unix epoche)

Same here on galaxy nexus with local and google contacts. Is this app still under development?

[ialokim]

This problem still persists for me with version 2.0, Contacts is showing the birthday without year, but the calendar event shows the age as 2019-1970=49. @dschuermann Is this app still maintained? Is there a chance a PR would be merged if I find the time to look into it?

Perhaps it would be as easy as recognizing --MMDD as date without year, because I'm getting my contacts from DAVx⁵ and vCard 4.0 states this format as "date without year".

[dschuermann]

I think it is already fixed in https://github.com/SufficientlySecure/birthday-calendar/commit/0d535e44f3ae56ffe3f75836b8352de6b89f7355

I need to do a release, sry. Will put it on top of my TODO list.

[ialokim]

Okay, that would be great!

[Otiel]

Any ETA for a release with this fix?

[ialokim]

I need to do a release, sry. Will put it on top of my TODO list.

Could we do anything to help you getting the release done?

[fgblomqvist]

@dschuermann any possibility this could get released?
