Version 1.6.0 crashes on a new task addition

[tukusejssirs]

I have installed Foreground via F-Droid. While v1.5.5 works as expected, after upgrading to v1.6.0 it crashes when I tap on the button to add a button.

I tried to clear the cache and data, but it behaves the same way.

PIxel 7a running Android 13 w/ June updates and Foreground via F-Droid, the add task button works for me.

@tukusejssirs what phone and android version are you running?

[tukusejssirs]

Android 11 on Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus.

Thanks for reporting this.

To get more info about what's going wrong, I'll need the error message from logcat, or you'll need to install the Google Play build and cause the crash there so it appears in my Google Play console.

I'm happy to provide more info about the logcat approach if needed.

Never mind - I was able to reproduce the issue in an Android 11 emulator. I'll get the fix for this out within the next day or two; it will be released as Foreground 1.6.1.

Thanks, @bgregos! 🙏

Anyway, here are my logs (warnings and higher) → foreground.log.

Maybe related, which is why I post it here: 1.6.0 does not crash on my device, but creating a task results in nothing. 1.5.5 had no such problem.

Expected Behavior

1. Clicking "create new task" (+)
2. Adding a description (and optionally everything else like due date, tags, ..)
3. Creating the task py clicking the checkmark top right
4. Task shows up in task lisk

Actual behavior

Step 4 does not happen, but the app stays alive.

Phone: Fairphone 4 OS: CalyxOS 4.10.1 running Android 13

Hope this helps.

Cheers

The checkmark in the top bar completes the task- instead press back to save the task and return to the task list.

I'll admit that the UI is confusing here. I'll try to find a way to make it more straightforward in the future.

I think that:

• after pressing :heavy_check_mark:, the user should be notified whether the task was successfully created (using a toast or or notification bar or something);
• after pressing Back or tapping on Cancel/:x: (if there is such a button), the user should be asked whether they want to cancel the task addition/creation.

Foreground 1.6.1 has been released with fixes for both of these issues. It's available now in the releases tab and it should be rolling out via Google Play and F-Droid shortly.
