new versions should probably show Whats New...

related, should the same kind of dialog box be used to explain how to use a certain page? or is that too many dialog boxes...?

seeing a log of all placements is nice, but it would also be beneficial to see all return visits. it would also allow people to remove return visits they didn't mean to record.

its conceivable tho, that you made the placements, and now the call has moved away, so you'd delete the call, but the placements/rvs are still legit.

You could also be wanting to remove the whole call cause everything fell apart or something.

Offer a prompt at Call deletion "Remove associated RVs and Placements?"

i can use a Backup to the SD card, as well as Android 2's new API to sync data to the actual Google Account.

when selecting magazine, the first options could be WT/Awake together, counting as 2 placements.

Sometimes you make a placement in streetwork, or something similar, and need to mark down placements, but they dont belong on any specific call.

a help manual or FAQ would be really useful.

Perhaps make the gh-pages branch have an Android optimized page of help and FAQs.

Provide link from inside the app?

editting a Magazine placement doesn't assign the values to the pickers.

it should determine the publication and issue when selecting "Edit"

Many people have suggested they would like to keep some notes about certain periods of service time. Seems easy enough.

Instead, make cancel do what i used to do, which was simply cancel.

Add a delete option in the Options menu instead

When writing notes or an address, etc, and you happen to rotate the phone enough to change orientations, it wipes out all the non-saved text.

Expect: it shouldn't delete the text.

People would like to be able to send the report via a text message...

When a call is deleted, the bibly study shouldn't be deleted necessarily, but it should surely be ended, otherwise we have a run away Bible study that the user can never end.

When fixing this, be sure to include some SQL to remove any bible studies already in this broken state.

the time widget doesn't record the value you've typed until you remove focus from the widget. If you press on the confirm button before having removed focus, then when I ask the widget for the time, it's still got the old time recorded, since it does all click action code before triggering the focus has changed.

it'd be nice to swipe left or right and change the currently viewed month of the time entries. this would allow one to see in better detail time they did previously, as well as a chance to edit entries in previous months.

deleting a placement should update the list immediately

if we would see the map of all locations, it would let use try to make a mental course, or just see who was close by.

selecting Start Time can sometimes cause a run away thread that doesn't show itself until half a day later, and then you've been in service for "13 hours"!

consider making the timer and Android Service

it would be useful if you could bible studies were marked as such in list view, so that someone you might not find again doesnt get forgotten about, and you still see that you're counting a bible study on that person

if currently looking at a month before September, switching to Service Year shows the next service year.

it would be great if you could get directions to a Call, from your current location.

if we could see who we havent visited in a long time, we could prioritize our return visits

For some people, it doesn't work at all.

On Android 2.2+, the backup agent does not seem to trigger a restore when the user reinstalls the app. Find out why, and fix it.

It would be useful to swap the stats view to show stats per Service Year (Sept - Aug)

sometimes you forget to enter a placement on that day, and go in later to add a placement to a call. The exact day doesn't seem to matter as much, but if you're in a new month, now you have a placement in the wrong month.

make the date editable.

get the values translated, then the app will show Spanish if the phone is set to Spanish

sometimes we enter a return visit not on the same day we made the visit. especially when importing our calls from our paper callbook.

This would also allow people to cancel if they accidentally tapped Return

after starting timer, closing app, and re-opening, menu shows Start Timer instead of the expected Stop Timer

for example, the notes at the top (maybe truncated?), the last time visited (in time ago), as well as a list of placements, and if currently a Bible Study (make this a checkbox?)

possibly include a list of return visits? do we care besides the just knowing how long ago?

similar to seeing a Map of all Calls, it'd be nice to sort the list based on who was closet to your current location

If you get like 11.5 hours, since we don't report partial hours, it should prompt to move the half hour to the next month. However, if you get, say, 11 hours and 57 minutes, it should just offer to round off to 12.

the listview only takes up a small portion of the view (even less on smaller devices!)

make it all scrollable, like the Contacts Details view

time entries should sort chronologically

The study status thing was a clever idea, but is way too confusing, and not very forgiving. It has too many downfalls.

It would make more sense, instead, to let people select a Bible Study when making a return visit. It would be a Bible Study Visit. Counts as a return visit, and as a bible study for the month. Super simple, no confusion on when the study started, and such.

Must remember to come up with an elegant way of showing Bible Study status in Calls List.

the stat for bible studies is always all current bible studies, regardless of the month

perhaps provide hint text on the screen.

or, which i like more: make the whole screen slide side to side super easily, just like the Calendar app does

Perhaps I need the EXTERNAL_STORAGE persmissions to do so>

We should be able to transfer a call to someone else. Essentially, it would just delete the call (not the placements), and send a parseable file to someone elses email address.

The email should have the plain text, of the name and address and notes. It should also have an attachment, that users can open on their Android device, that will create the Call for them in ServiceDroid.

when tapping to editing a time entry, or a placement, there is only Confirm. It would be nice to also have Cancel.

If the address is really long, it pushes the name over to only show a character or two. It should have a max width of half the screen or so.

the text is small

Add a message below the stats that lets users know they can email their report by pressing MENU. It should only show at the end of the month.

you should be able to record placed literature with various RVs

a lot of people use Task Killers... maybe I could do some fancy saving of times to allow the timer to start back up with the correct time if the task gets killed?

add an button in the Time view to start/stop a timer, so one can start when we begin service, and stop at breaks, lunch, or when quitting for the day.
