Half servings

[kmclark7]

It would be great to be able to do half servings, perhaps a single vs double click, cycling through. The checkmark could be different colors.

Clickable progression bar would be even better. Especially in widget.

Hi, I have started to work on a solution with a seekBar, but with the half portions it has to be discussed how to store the values. Should they be still Integer? Or is a Float a better choice?

Do the simplest things that could possibly work (https://www.artima.com/intv/simplest.html#part3).

I imagine you could use integers and instead of counting servings, count half servings. Two half servings = 1 serving. That would probably be easiest.

Representing half with integers is just bad. And some users might want 1/3 portion. So float will be way to go.

It depends on how accurate you want people to get. It is meant to be a really quick thing. So, you have to decide what you want. I think if you get into people entering 2.3, they may as well be using a more sophisticated app. I think this app is meant to be a quick tap.

With float you keep your options open. With int you limit usage to only one implementation. Also this could be in option if user want checkbox or seekbar/progress bar. It depends how good you want to make it. With float it could be extended to other implemenations.

Yes, okay, I will use float (and set the seekbar progress possibilities on half servings at first - then we can discuss later how to continue).

@PatriciaHeimfarth any progress on this ???

@christirichards it is good to write reason of closing issue. Because it not seems like done.
