UI problems when URL contains space character during account setup
-
With the default theme, this implication is already there because there is no visual difference (to me) between a tappable and disabled button.
So I’d say this is the real problem. We have used default Android icons, but maybe there would be better ones…
-
But even if you used a better icon, the user still would have no idea what exactly is wrong.
-
There’s the message “Please enter an URL”, and some garbage with a space isn’t an URL
-
I don’t see such a message. As said, the button does absolutely nothing. This is on CM11
-
Ok, the message is “Base URL (…):” but it still says “URL”.
I won’t change the concept of the disabled Next buttons as it’s a common Android pattern (see the Email account setup). The only possible thing would be to add a hint for invalid or incomplete URLs, but I’d prefer to trust users to know that URLs must not contain space characters. After all, they must have got their CalDAV URL from somewhere and this source mustn’t show a space in the URL.

Oh you meant the normal label, then nevermind.
I probably overestimated this issue because I entered my server URL by hand.

Do you have spaces in your URLs? Where did you get it from?
-
It was a typo, unlikely to happen though. I think I tapped
.or so.
-
Ah ok. I guess I’ll close this with your permission… if someone digs it out some time, we can think about it again
-
Sure.
