IV76233: DATE WIDGET ISSUE WITH ANDROID 5

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• When trying to use the Android date/time widget it does not
  work. This was reproduced on a nexus 7 with Android 5.0.2 by
  development.
  login to Work Execution
  Select a work order
  select a date/time field
  The widget does not work the application hangs
  This does not happen every time.
  It's a little intermittent though, you might have to try and
  change the date 3 or 4 times before it hangs.  I think it might
  be specific to the Google Nexus 7 device.

  * On slower android devices, the date widget, duration, and    *
  * time widgets from dojo can get caught in a loop after        *
  * clicking the plus or minus button.                           *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Trying to change the time or date results in a hung          *
  * application as the time gets hung in a loop.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Upgrade to this iFix on 7512 or ifix on 7521 to get this     *
  * patch, which stops the date picker from scrolling, and       *
  * instead requires discrete clicks to add or remove a time.    *
