[feature-request] How about an alternate TimePicker?
I (personally) would like to see an alternative Date- and/or TimePicker, like the following example:
Source: https://github.com/rubenroy/Minimal-Todo
What do you mean?
I don't know what an effort that could be. I just saw the current picker (https://github.com/yuriykulikov/AlarmClock/blob/develop/src/main/java/com/better/alarm/presenter/TimePickerDialogFragment.java) and the other picker (https://github.com/rubenroy/Minimal-Todo/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/example/avjindersinghsekhon/minimaltodo/AddToDoActivity.java) which is open source, too; and would like to ask that question to you and other people, here.
Oh please, if you add it make sure we can still type the alarm time. The only reason why I installed this app first was because I couldn't stand this time picker, which is the only one available by default in my phone. Typing, as it is now, is so much faster.
It will be optional, that is for sure. In the next release there will be a couple of Themes and UI tweaks. Themes: Dark theme, Light theme, Orange theme, Blue there Tweaks: compact list view: on/off, picker variant: classic typing/alternative with picker
Basically, out of the box you will have dark theme, non-compact list view and typing-style picker. If you go into settings, you will be able to switch to the alternative picker. BR, Yuriy

After updating to the latest version of your great app, I noticed, that the current timepicker does its job.
But if you have the usecase, that you want to change the upcoming alarm just a bit, (instead of typing in the complete time again) then an (optional) alternative timepicker, like this one:
source: https://github.com/trikita/talalarmo
(which holds & shows the existing/setted time) woult be great and helpful for people like me.
If you don't plan to add (or replace) timepicker/s, never mind then, please just close this issue.
@patheticcockroach This kind of UI already has the ability to type. You just click on the numbers to edit them.
@AndroidDeveloperLB I just gave it a shot, nope, clicking on the number provides no keyboard whatsoever, on this UI, which to me looks quite similar to the one in OP:
@patheticcockroach Actually it depends on which app you check. I've noticed that it allows it on some. On Clock app of Google, there is a button at the bottom to edit. See attached video.
Same appears for me in the time settings of the OS.
On which app did you test it?
@AndroidDeveloperLB I tested on the Date & Time settings provided in my OnePlus X (default app, OxygenOS 3.1.4 / Android 6)
@patheticcockroach Oh, I have tested on Pixel 4 (Android R), but I'm sure it was possible before, one way or another, to set it precisely using digits-buttons...
