Hierarchical deck chooser when adding new note.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I use Share menu to add new card to AnkiDroid, it rarely defaults to the deck i want, so I need to choose it from "Deck:" combobox.
But with many mini-decks it is cumbersome to scroll though s::a::OneMinideck,s::a::AnotherMinidesk, s::b::YetAnother12CardsDeck to get to the e.g. words deck at the end of the list. This contracts with the deck chooser from home screen, where you can expand and collapse deck folders.
Describe the solution you'd like
For new note adder, use hierarchical/tree chooser for deck instead of a plain list. Ideally such chooser be used everywhere, e.g. for statistics viewer as well.
Workaround
Abort adding new note, go do main screen, activate the deck you want from there (e.g. enter learning, then immediately exist), then share to AnkiDroid again. Now the deck you have entered before will be the default deck.
Alternative
~~Allow typing deck name from keyboard, showing filtered subset of matching decks in combobox to choose from.~~ Just noticed that there is already search function in that popup window (somehow I assumed it was a plain combobox before, not a separate view).
Version
2.15.6 from F-Droid.
I feel this is fixed in 2.16, can you check it works as expected https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases/download/v2.16alpha85/AnkiDroid-2.16alpha85.parallel.A.apk
Currently, tags are hierarchical and decks are "semi" hierarchical. When I say "semi" is because the dialog isn't a collapsible tree view, but it has hierarchical indentation at least.
I haven't looked at the tag dialog code, but I suppose it shouldn't be hard to abstract part of it and reuse it on the deck dialog, especially because both decks and tags use a similar (perhaps equal) name/hierarchy pattern
Just indentation alone won't save one from needing to use multiple gestures to scroll through 70+ decks to reach the last one.

Stale
Shall low-priority feature requests be tracked in Github or elsewhere? 2 months may be too short for a feature request to be considered stale.
