Request: Turn wifi every X minutes #5

Closed SafwatHalaby closed 10 years ago

SafwatHalaby commented 10 years ago

Currently, Wifi can only be turned on after X hours, specifying minutes would be great :)

I'll check how that can implemented with the current numberpicker dialog

SafwatHalaby commented 10 years ago

You can just convert the units into minutes and get rid of hours. e.g. typing 120 minutes is not that much harder than typing 2 hours.

A different solution is using radio boxes, where users only have a couple of options to choose from. Example 15 Min 30 Min 45 Min 1 Hour 1.5 Hours 2 Hours 3 Hours

The rationale is that people will rarely want a more than 3 hour interval. And typing the exact amount of minutes is not that important.

Oh you wouldn't believe how many people asked for a dropdown list to select different units in my other apps because they were to lazy to convert them...

yeah, predefined options might be an option. i'll check that later

The second solution is lazier and friendlier. The first is more flexible. In that particular case I would have chosen the second.
