After money is successfully sent, the send coins activity does not dismiss itself #111

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

If you press "send coins", the send button is greyed out and you have to push 
back yourself. The activity could just finish at that point and return the user 
to the transactions screen.

My plan is that you keep the activity open in order to watch the confidence in 
the transaction grow. There were just changes to BitCoinJ that will for example 
confirm if a transaction could be sent successfully to the network (by hearing 
back from another peer).

I guess so, but why is it better to do it on that screen than on the main 
screen? The sender doesn't really care about transaction confidence beyond that 
it actually made it to the payer and will confirm eventually. It's really just 
the recipient who cares.

Also, if there is no internet connection, it should be clear to the user that 
their TX will go out next time there is internet access. Perhaps tapping a 
transaction in the main screen should go to a dedicated activity that helps you 
understand its current state and confidence (otherwise the circles can be a bit 
difficult to understand, I guess)

Because on the main screen it can be kind of a hassle to identify the 
transaction you just sent. Why not keep context as long as you want? You can 
always press back if you want.

The way Bitcoin is currently used and because of its a new technology, people 
are looking after their transactions. I've seen them go to blockexplorer 
directly after sending. I'd like to provide a little bit of that experience.

Also, if I'd dismiss the transaction right away, there would be no easy way to 
pick up that transaction via NFC or QR code.

Currently the ability to continue monitoring a tx is a success. People love 
watching "their" transaction. I'm therefore marking this as WontFix. If general 
usage changes, we can re-open this.
