Hi Martin,

I've found what appears to be a very minor bug in version 1.30.0. My Galaxy Note 5 is set for 12 hour time and I have a number of flows that use the action Input Dialog with a dialog type of Time. If I run the flows before 12:00PM and enter an hour and minute that's after 12:00PM, the hour and minute will display correctly but AM/PM indicator does not change to PM, and of course this results in getting an AM value. For example, if the current time is before 12:00PM and I enter 1:30PM, the resulting value is 1:30AM. The only way I can get the correct value is by tapping on PM first and then setting the hour and minute. This behavior is consistent and my process of tapping on PM works every time, but if I don't select PM first it will result in an AM value every time. I never had this occur until I updated to the Material Design version of AutoMagic.

I hope I've explained this so it makes sense. Again, it's a very minor issue that has a simple workaround, but this behavior is different from past versions of AutoMagic and I thought I would let you know about it.

Hi,

Maybe I did not understand the problem properly. Do you get the new analog clock input? Let's assume I'm starting the dialog at 8:00PM, now I switch the hour to 1, the clock is not meant to change the PM to AM. AM/PM always has to be toggled manually. Do you expect the AM/PM to switch automatically when you move the hand past the 12.

What version of Android is your device running?

Hi Martin,

I apologize if my issue got tangled up with Colabi's issue in his thread (http://automagic4android.com/forum/view ... 956#p13945).

I am running a Galaxy Note 5 with Android 6.0.1 - I just applied the version 6 update a few days ago. I do have the new clock interface and I included a screenshot in the other post, which by the way looks different than Colabi's clock interface. I don't know what version he's running.

I was surprised by your comment that the clock is not meant to change the PM to AM and it always has to be toggled manually - that's not how it was before when I was running Android version 5 and AutoMagic 1.28 - it always changed AM to PM and PM to AM every time I used a time based input dialog. I never had to tap it manually.

Thank you.

Hi,

The older timer widget with the spinner style indeed did change AM/PM when the hour was rolled over the 12-hour limit but I assume that Google removed this feature on the new Material-theme analog style clock on purpose. Since I'm using the built-in new time picker of Android I can't fix this issue easily. I could add an option in the workaround section to prefer the old timer widget for the input dialog.

No worries, Martin - I wouldn't bother changing anything. I like the look of the new spinner and I'm used to the workaround of selecting PM. I mainly just wanted to let you know about it in case it was an actual bug.

Thank you.
