Dialer-app search for contact and call UX
-
Hi,
I've always found weird the workflow to call someone:
search for a contact -> select a contact opens the contact view -> and start a call ( before it only populate the phone number on the dial page ).Why not just selecting a contact populates the phone number, and if there are several numbers, just select one from a popup.
If i want to view/edit a contact, just use the swipe actionFollowing PR here:

@lduboeuf That sounds perfect from Dialer app.
Do you think it would be the same for Contacts app as well?
Another planet, another time, another universe!

Humm, what do you mean ? While on contact app, the contact selection open the contact view, that IMO the expected behavior.

@lduboeuf I'm asking because: aren't the two apps sharing the same code for contacts?

I've tested and it looks that works really well
but... (always a «but»):- If contact has no phone number (I have a couple that have only email addresses), it goes back to Dialer, maybe a message could be ok, or opening the contact info?
- You are using account icon, better use contact icon (it's called
contact)

They share some UI components yes, but the behavior is still managed independently in the two apps

Here is a try: ( dialer -app test click app installable via the openstore app )
Via Ubuntu Touch Tweak Tool rather, no?
-
@keneda You can install with any. If you download the click and share it with the OpenStore, it will allow you to install it
-
@cibersheep Oh i didn't know that, thanks.
