Send delayed sms immediately #221

…'send now' to send a delayed message immediately
…list_item_out view

I've had thoughts on the UI for this. would it be better to have the send now be a show-on-swipe/longpress of message? that way there aren't a lot of buttons floating around in the convo message. likewise, the cancel button could also be moved there, and just show a lil countdown on bottom right of the message. thoughts? |

agreed about multiple buttons looking ugly. |

Hello, my two cents in one image
Like that the button to send is always at the same place. |
I like that idea |

I'm keen on keeping helper text under a to-send message to a minimum. how about "swipe for actions" with the round loader? on swipe, could do something like this mockup, where swipe one way is send now, swipe other is cancel. long press could show both those options as well as a "edit send timedate" option. this way when scrolling past, the message is mostly unobtrusive without having to dig into menus for all the options. a related idea: maybe have a setting as well for "show only scheduled messages coming up within x timeframe"? If I schedule a happy b-day sms for 10 months from now, it makes no sense to have it there every time I open up the convo, but would be nice to have it show up a week before it's sent. Maybe a "3 scheduled" text somewhere? maybe even just an icon next to send? let's spitball something. |

Hi, i already said what I'm thinking, but I didn't say that at some point you/we should ask a UX designer because the UI become super random! Maybe I can ask here : https://opensourcedesign.net/ |

the more i think about the hard work involved in all these great ideas, the more i like the original pr ui. heh just so we're on the same page... this pr is for delayed send which means a max of 10 seconds that the send now and cancel buttons are on screen. and if set to 3 or 5 seconds delay it's too short a time to discover to swipe left or right or up or... oh no! my message sent before i remembered which way to slide to cancel it.
i think the swiping and setting new schedule stuff is good for scheduled messages but could be overkill for delayed. how about just move the send now button to the rhs for the (max) 10 seconds it's displayed;

Lol yeah |
...OH. I misunderstood and thought this was for scheduled messages!! You are absolutely correct. |

rebased pr to master to remove conflicts. moved send now button to rhs. made send now button normal click, not long click. |
|
@gavine99 small nitpick, could you remove the round shade and background around the stop and send buttons? what does it look like when the text is multiline? does the stop align to top or bottom? I got a gut feeling it should be aligned to bottom because closer to where user is interacting (input bar) but unsure. |
…utton shadows. make buttons float bottom
|
button shadows removed. layouts rejiggered to ensure buttons at bottom of long text. my branch is updated and able to merge to master and hopefully this can sneak into the 4.0.9 alpha release. short text; long text; |
added a 'send now' button to delayed sms send which, when long pressed, aborts the delay and sends the sms immediately.
moved existing 'cancel send' button to far left of screen so it's always in the same ui position for better muscle memory access.
