Where is the add contacts button?
Closed this issue · 20 comments
I can longer find the button to add contacts in EnsiChat.
You can view your connections (and add them as contacts) if you click on the "x Connections". Do you think that should be clarified somehow?
And I will add the button back in with a different functionality as described in #36.
It would make more sense to have the add contacts page accessible via an "Add contacts" button in the main menu.

Hm, the thing is it's not really an "add contacts" screen, it's actually "list connections" (with an option to add them as contacts).
Oh I see. What about having two separate screens. One or contacts to add and one for contacts added (MainActivity)
Or display who are friends with a tag next to the contact.
That's how it currently is (basically): MainActivity shows contacts, and clicking on connections shows connected devices.
Well you could show all contacts not in the added contacts database and then allow the user to add them.

I'm not sure what you mean, can you clarify this?
Like, have MainActivity show only added contacts and then have an Add COntacts page which shows contacts not added that it has found whilst doing a Bluetooth scan.
That's exactly how it works right now. Contacts to add being shown when you click on "Connections" in the Actionbar.
Oh okay. I thought it would be unclear that one would have to tap the connections button to add contacts.

Now it's totally unclear how to connect with someone. I had to google here to find that I have to click on the titlebar.

I felt the same way.
Do you guys have a different idea how to show this? I think it's useful to show the number of connections, and I can't think of another place for that. And I think it makes sense to add contacts from the list of connections (at least once you know it).
That said, I'm totally open for suggestions, I just can't think of anything better.
Just add the material style big + button. Or a menu item. It's not clear
that you can click on the number of connections.

The plus button could work. The cross. :)
I just don't like that there would be two buttons for the same action. But it does seem to be the best solution.
That's exactly the kind of programmer thinking that leads to bad UX :)
