New Time Selector Interface

Open russkel opened this issue 12 years ago • 9 comments

Hi,

I stumbled upon this project and am very impressed, it's lovely and you've done a great job. I thought I'd share an idea I thought of when I first used the time picker which can be a bit nicer: use the new Android calendar time select style.

It can be seen here: http://googlesystem.blogspot.de/2013/05/new-google-calendar-controls-for-android.html

Hours: android-calendar-time-control-1

Minutes: android-calendar-time-control-2

Regards,

Russ

I use Android myself and really found the new interface pretty cool. I’m currently working on a rewrite of the core picker that I hope would allow us to customize the extensions much more easily to create these interfaces.

I’d really like to see that in action.

:+1: My JS-fu is non-existent and truth be told I'm a little afraid of it :crying_cat_face:. I'll just have to hope someone agrees and implements it.

Have to admit that the new android time picker is one of my favorites. Quite elegant.

@amsul, How's the re-write coming? This would be really sweet, and I love your library. Cheers!

:-1: Just to provide an alternative opinion, I strongly dislike the new Android UI for time choice. I am not used to analog clock and I thing in digital time values.

In particular, a common use case is to open the existing time field and choose a time that's 30 minutes after. With the current UI it is trivial. It's like a dropdown with values, perfect. With this Android UI one has to actually calculate things back and forth and place them on an analog clockface.

Consider that this might not be a universally accepted change if you make this the default UI in your timepicker.

Nothing wrong with having the choice between the two.

Oh, yeah, if it's a choice, then it's great! I'm just wary of it replacing the main option. :)
