Possibility to clear all contacts from Flock Account #30

Closed Deccoy closed 10 years ago

Deccoy commented 10 years ago

Hey,

please add a possibility to remove all contacts from Flock without creating a new account (because I already paid for my account).

This is necessary to start a "re-import" of all contacts in case of Flock-Sync Errors (e.g. #28).

Thanks, best regards!

I agree that something like this is needed but I'm still trying to think about how to best include it in the Flock UI. I think the "My calendars" UI takes care of this problem just fine for calendars so this "remove all contacts" UI should really only be needed rarely.

My current plans include dropping the "Sync on content change" menu item and adding "Export contacts" and "Export calendar" menu items. The "remove all contacts" action still wouldn't fit too well with those in place so I'll probably try hiding it in a menu within the android options menu in the top right of the action bar.

Referencing the picture above, when tapping the icon labelled "3" a sub-menu would appear with "Delete all contacts" (or some similar text) as a menu item.

If Flock is missing any other similar functionality it would be great to include all these like things in the same UI, let me know if you think of anything else. Thoughts?

Labelling as bug because right now the lack of this feature is preventing an easy fix of contacts affected by unrelated bugs that have since been patched. Plan is to first resolve #28 and next resolve this issue, then include both in the next release of Flock on Google Play.
