Since Android 15, tapping single note widget sometimes creates "New note" instead of opening the linked note #2790
Description
Please make a clear and concise description of what the bug is.
Steps to reproduce
- Use the single note widget
- Tap on it
Expected behaviour
It always opens the linked note.
Actual behaviour
Since Android 15, it sometimes (not sure when) creates a "New note" and opens that.
In Android 14 already it sometimes opened the list of notes instead of the linked note, but this new, also erroneous behavior is a bit worse and more annoying. ;)
Server
Please complete the following information.
- Notes app version: 4.11.0
- Nextcloud version: 31.0.7

Just tested the current play store versions of Notes and Nextcloud on Android 12 and the single note widget works fine.
I have also previously used Notes v4.3.1 and earlier on Android 15 and 16 with no widget problems.
With the release of v4.4.0 the widget opens a new note every time, so it seems to be a combination of Android 15+ and the code being converted from Java to Kotlin.
Similar to #2748

I was wrong about the Java to Kotlin thing, I tried replacing the .kt with the original .java widget and it made no difference.
After checking out v4.3.1 and compiling it, everything works properly again on Android 16. It is also OK after changing the target sdk to 35 and updating the dependencies to match the current main branch.
So something else in the notes app code which changed between 4.3.1 and 4.4.0 is causing it (maybe :) ).

It seems this is the change which has prevented the note id being kept in the extras:

Commenting those lines out fixes the single note and note list widgets for me on Android 16. I don't get any exception thrown about implicit intent but I am unsure whether that problem would apply to these widgets.

This was identified in #2748 in addition to other regressions as far back as in... JULY.

Hi @BloodyIron, it is being worked on, and disparaging comments won’t make it go faster. Please be considerate as outlined in our code of conduct. Thank you ❤️
BloodyIron commentedon Oct 23, 2025
THANKS but quite frankly we've had radio silence for months (from the devs, so far as I could tell). So it would have been appreciated to be informed it was being worked on... well.. any time earlier than this. Considering I paid for this app and it has had a rather breaking regression without being rolled back, I have reasonable grounds to be upset.
I just re-reviewed what I said in this and the other thread and at no way does what I say violate the code of conduct. Being frustrated is not a policy or code violation.

Hey.
The issue fixed via: #2887.
We will release a new version. Thank you.
BloodyIron commentedon Oct 24, 2025
Yay thanks! :D
Does this also solve the blue bar thing?
g-work commentedon Jan 28, 2026
Both problems (blue bars and new note instead of opening) still occure. Android 16 on Pixel 9, newest Nextcloud and Notes app.
BloodyIron commentedon Jan 30, 2026
yeah I'm still having both problems... I don't think this is getting taken seriously at all :/ frustrating considering I paid for this app.

The widget content color issue is fixed with this PR: #3026
