dialer-app Quick call
-
@lduboeuf i have a crazy idea, could you make the the dailer app and the messaging app reachable from within the contact app? I would like to try to use only the contact app for communication. It's not often that you type in a number manually to dial it. But when you have to it would be great to just hit a button within the contact app to make a call/sms manually. It would be more of a communication app then a contact app. And the search fields launches when you opens the contact app, like it does when you opens the contact app within the dialer app(this could be implemented in the messaging app too, instead of new message you could have the figure icon instead, that launches the contact app).
-
@Rondarius Humm i'm afraid this would involve lots of work. Lets keep it seperate for now ;-). And btw you can start a call or sms to someone from the contact app.

follow up: https://github.com/ubports/dialer-app/pull/127 for dialer-app
and https://github.com/ubports/address-book-app/pull/140 for address-book-appSo for dialer-app and address-book-app, i kept the contact detail view, and just trigger a call when clicking on the "call" icon.
Also enable it on swipe action -
@Rondarius said in dialer-app Quick call:
Here is a mockup of how it could look like within the contact app :smiling_face:
Better use ListItem actions (swiping to the left on the result)
-
@CiberSheep The mockup was for reaching the apps for making a phonecall/message manually. To do that now, you have to swipe a contact tap phone/letter and erase the receiving information and putt in new information.
-
@Rondarius I don't really understood that, sorry.
In Contacts app, find a contact, swipe and tap message or call and will open the proper app.
-
@CiberSheep
if I putt it like this. Open the contact app and try to make a call/message to a person that is not in your contact list. -
@Rondarius If I want to make a call to a person not in the contact list, I open Dialer (from the launcher)
-
@lduboeuf Sorry for going off topic here.
@CiberSheep Exactly.
From the contact app you can reach the dailer app and the messaging app.
From the dialer app you can reach the contact app and the messaging app.
From the messaging app you can reach the contact app and the dialer app.
When you are able to call/videocall people with Teleports, are there going to be an app for every form of communication? No, they will be integrated into one app. I think that we need to look at these old apps and start to integrate them in a new way. Like @lduboeuf wrote earlier, it will take a lot of work and I am not demanding anything, it's just my point of view/suggestion.
