Add option to switch months etc in graph view

[hakaishi]

Description of current state

Once you open the graph view, you have to go back to the home screen and then choose a month, date range etc and then open the graph view again.

Proposal

It would be nice if you could change the year/month/date range directly inside the graph view. For example, by adding the calendar button from the main view to the top right of the graph view (right aligned to the title for example).

Good point, thanks for taking the time to write this issue.

I am not sure about this to be honest. I like that the homepage is the only source of truth for the records, and the statistic page it is designed to apply some "action" on the records showing in the homepage. Giving the possibility to change the records scope in two different places would in my opinion make it a bit more confusing. Would it also change the scope of the records on the homepage, for example?

Ah. I see your point.

In my opinion, it would make sense to have a consistent timeline. That would mean that the time range of the "record view" would also change.

If it were me, I'd differentiate the main view and the "record view".

For example:

• Main view
  • show total balance and averages
  • monthly summary (in/out and/or balance) for last 3 to 5 months (clicking/ tap on item would open detail view)
  • options for adding records etc
  • 3 to 5 records last added
• Detail view
  • Tab with all records of the selected month/date range etc
  • Tab with graphs

Just an idea. Not that I would expect that you restructure your app.

A suggestion i wanted to make, which is slightly related, is to add a "next" and "previous" button to the overflow menu around the range-selector. This way, switching the range becomes more easy in the "main" view for what i assume are the most common usecases like switching months.
