bug(datetime-picker): freeze when changing Android settings

[kristianbang]

If the datetime-picker is open while Android systems settings (e.g. language, text zoom etc) the time picker becomes unresponsive and can not be closed. The consequence is that the entire app becomes unusable and I have to force restart it to get rid of the time picker. Maybe it could be fixed by closing the timepicker on system changes or by adding a cancel() method so it can be programmatically dismissed.

I am seeing this issue on a Samsung Galaxy A32 with Android 13.

Reproduce:

1. Open time picker dialog
2. Minimize the app and open Android settings
3. Change system language
4. Open the app again
5. Time picker is open, app and dialog is unresponsive

Would you be willing to create a PR?

I am afraid I do not know the cause / fix for this issues currently. It if the first time we try using a capawesome plugin so I do not know the code base :)

@kristianbang does this bug still happens? i just tested it and was not able to reproduce the bug, based on your description

Thanks for looking into this. I can still reproduce this issue on a Samsung Galaxy A32 running Android 13.
"@capacitor/android": "7.4.3",
"@capawesome-team/capacitor-datetime-picker": "7.0.1",

Tried creating a video where it is stuck in the end:

@kristianbang Thann you for providing more information.

@nicogenz Looks like an issue which only occurs on specific devices. I will try to reproduce that with my test devices.
