1. I select the saved card from the initial screen.
2. Now I can see all the details. But I can't copy.
   • I wish I could tap on the card ID and it would copy it.
   • To improve the user feedback, upon copying it should display a message (toaster) saying the id was copied.
   • To increase the discoverability of this feature, a copy icon can be added next to the card id.

This feature is specially useful for airline mileage numbers, or any number that can be used during online purchases.

It might be worth also implementing this "copy" feature to the "Note" field.

Do you mean copying the card id to the clipboard?

Yes, exactly that.

The previous layout was not that great, in that it was showing data using a disabled EditView.

Pull Request brarcher/loyalty-card-locker#91 updates the screen, so that the data is shown using a TextView. Further, if one long clicks a field it can be selected and copied to the clipboard.

The change will be available in the next release. Let me know if this satisfies your request.

It did not occur to me when you asked, but there is already a feature very similar to your request. If you long press the card entry from the main page a menu will appear. That menu allows one to copy the card ID to the clipboard.

I see that this feature may not be obvious. If you have any suggestions on how to improve its discoverability, please let me know.

I didn't know about that long-tap menu. That's cool. 👍

I tested the new version, I can now long-tap to select and copy text. That's great! 👍 But I cannot do that in the "edit" screen. 😞 (I am suggesting an idea on #89)

The only improvement I can think about is also adding a "copy" button that copies the entire card ID (or the entire note) in one tap. Still, don't remove the ability to select text, I like being able to select a portion of the note to copy, it is helpful in some occasions.

The new edit UI made this selectable in the edit screen. So closing as fixed.
