Display pending updates in the status messages

Open oliv3 opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

This adds another functional test that is to display the number of pending updates.

screenshot_20181003-144538 Unsent positions count will appear in parenthesises. Another way for the user to check for e.g. network issue.

I also interested by some statistical data but I don't think that adding only the number of pending locations to the "update" message is the right way. I think you could use another "view" or keep the data in a "text box" at the top of the status page. Another solution is to open a "Dialog" when you touch one of the line. It's a good solution to display a lot of information.

Stats I'd like to see are:

  • number of pending locations
  • time since last update
  • current GPS status & accuracy

Also, it is not obvious that the number in "( )" is the number of pending location.

Feel free to send a PR. Can't spend more time on this, my customers are fine with the feature as it is.

ohhh it was also not obvious it was a dev for some customer. My message was just a "user feedback" and I don't have much time too.... That's the way opensource go. Hard to find contributors... Sorry.

It is fine to be integrated, as is. This PR is to off-load work on my side :) Could surely be better to add some message for the () meaning, but when properly documented or explained, people understand. And I don't think @tananaev does want to make the application complicated, (not to say user-friendly), so I decided to keep this bare bones.

@redge76 also, this feature would have to be coded for iOS, for it to be merged by @tananaev :(
