ODK date field not accepting Jan 1961

Development
1

Hi Community,

Anyone experienced this?

If you I set my date input appearance='month-year' in the XML then in ODK
collect it'll crash when I put 'Jan 1961'

likewise

appearance='year' will not accept '1961', ODK crashes

If I remove the appearance attribute the form works normally but I do not
wish to let the user input anything other than just a year.

Any help to what might be causing this, any help in solving it please?

Fascinating.

If you change the Locale of your device (e.g., to US English) does it work?
(and if it does, what language did it fail in)

If it is not a locale issue, then it is likely an issue specific with your
Android device, or perhaps your Android OS revision.

It works fine on my Android 4.4.4 tablet.

Hi Mitch,

Thanks for a suggestion, I tried locale in my Samsung phone, 4.4.4 didn't
work, I also tried my Tab which is Acer A1 Android 4.4.2, still failed.

I tried switching between languages inside ODK Collect (It had both Swahili
and English), still failed.

I am left with no solution still.

I replicated the problem in a simple ODK XML, please anyone try it and tell
me if it works in yours or help me debug anything I did wrong.
