Better Boilr Alarm screen next actions #259

Open axelsimon opened 7 years ago

Hi,

The Boilr Alarm screem that pops up (and vibrates, and rings) when a price hits a target is not set up for useful further actions, IMNSHO.

All one can do is tap "off", which is often not really what one wants to do.

If I've set up an alarm to tell me when X drops bellow 30, I may want to keep tracking to see if it goes further down. Just tapping "off" means that if I want to keep tracking as it goes down, I then have to:

It seems to me it would make sense to offer more options on the Alarm screen, mainly: raise or lower the limit (upper or lower, depending on what was hit).

This could be with done either by opening the same "(lower|upper) limit" text entry pop up that one gets when configuring the alarm, or by just having some buttons to increment/decrease the value (a + and a -, essentially). That would enable quick updating of the alarms directly from the alarm screen: a "warn me again if it drops another 1/5/10 points" button.

Hope the idea is useful.

Hi @axelsimon

Thanks a lot for the input!

We do plan to introduce more actions to the ringing alarm view once we migrate to a GlowPadView (check issue #24). With the current view we feel that adding more actions will lead to accidental clicks on the wrong action.
