Event list not refreshed

[dagord]

Hello
I was happily using the app for several months, until some days ago.
Suddenly, the event list is no more refresehd, as it is stuck on last friday: if I reboot the phone (Redmi Note 7) the widget gets refreshed, then it stucks again.
I just can see the first few events in the list... if I try to scroll it down, I get the "loading" message instead of the events title.

What I tried:

• I double checked the sync settings as suggested on issue No events refresh #17
• I double checked ToDo permissions
• I removed and re-installed Google Calendar app
• I checked/unchecked calendars from ToDo settings

None of them seems to work

Hi @dagord The problem probably occurred due to an update of some app or your device's system update.
Getting "loading..." messages makes me think that there maybe a problem with our widget's interaction with your device's Launcher app.
Which launcher are you using?
Please try to change it, e.g. switch from custom Launcher to the device's default one or vice versa.

In the old widget's issues list I found a couple of similar reports, please see:
plusonelabs#279
plusonelabs#318

?!

Hello @yvolk ,
thank you for your reply.
I'll try your suggestion but I confirm that on my side there wasn't any change/update that I'm aware of. Currently I'm using Poco Launcher, which was updated to the last version more than a month ago.
In case this helps: I tried to check/uncheck more calendars on the ToDo settings, but the event list doesn't change

Some more info: changing any setting (style, font size, colors and so on...) actually doesn't have any effect! The widget is "stuck"!

This looks more like incompatibility with the Launcher

Hello.
I tried to switch back to the default launcher and the app works!
By the way, I don't know if it's a solution since, as I said, on the other launcher it simply stopped working all of a sudden.

I remember that I struggled with similar problems a couple of years ago, and although I solved the problem at that time (at least for the majority of launchers, including default launchers and Nova launcher) I still have a feeling that this part is not strictly enough described/ defined in Android, and hence prone to compatibility problems...

This ticket is about fixing this problem in 2019: plusonelabs#318

@dagord You could point your launcher's developers to this thread, maybe they could fix at their side taking into account that our widget works with most of other launchers?!

Hi. Brief update: after a few days with the default launcher, the widget is stuck again, with the same behaviour as described in the previous posts. Inviato da Android Il mar 6 lug 2021, 16:53 Yuri Volkov ***@***.***> ha scritto:

@dagord The source code of the widget is open, you could investigate this problem...
Please reboot your device and look how long it will work for the second time.

For your understanding: this is actually a Launcher app that has "stuck" in the widget's updates, because a Launcher initiates or not those updates.
And this is a Launcher app that actually redraws a widget. Our Widget app only tells it, what to draw...
This is how all Android widgets work.

@yvolk
I'm not experienced in mobile programming, so I can't investigate the bug.
I'm simply reporting it.
But there's an interesting update: I tried to switch back to "Calendar Widget" (https://github.com/plusonelabs/calendar-widget), which I was previously using, and bam! Same bug. So it seems it's something on my device side, even if not related to specific laucher, and without any system update.

@dagord Thank you for the update
