improve jump to dialog

[ahmedre]

"it would be good to be able to jump to a juz, surah and where user can select the 30 juz and 114 surah from a drop-down list."

We already have that dialog from the "jump to" in the action bar, maybe reuse that?

Since we now have quarter hizb data as well, we can also add jump to 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full Hizb. Also, I think it would be better to combine all the "Jump To's" into a single popup with 3 tabs - Jump To: Page, Ayah, or Marker to minimize clutter/confusion. If you guys think it's a good idea I'll prolly try to work on that next.

..or maybe a single tab, but 3 radio buttons (page, ayah, marker) and clicking one of them updates the selections (spinners) appropriately.

sure - one thing to keep in mind is that one person is working on a ui redesign for the application, so this may affect this screen ultimately - so if you want to work on something else, it maybe better.

for what it's worth, on the iphone, some apps just have a slider button at the top that you can have to be "hizb" or "page" and you basically type a number (1-30 or 1-60) and jump.

otherwise, we can somehow redirect to the index page and do things there.

Ok, sure, I'll look for something else non-UI to work on (after Ramadan inshaAllah).

Ya i think that slider+text entry idea is better. It's meant to be quick so it's prob. better than redirecting to index as well. So the sura/ayat jump-to dialog would stay as is but only the jump-to-page one would be changed to have a slider?

closing this for now.
