Android: Daily backup your contact

Created on 14 May 2019  路  10Comments  路  Source: nextcloud/android

Actual behaviour

Opening settings, reading
"Safe contacts
Daily backup from your contacts"

Thinking "oh nice, automatic backups already set up, sweet."

After clicking it
"Automatic backup: deactivated
Last backup: never"

A friend deleted his contacts and i remembered there is this settings. This was actually my thought process and was already happy we can restore his contacts. Turns out - no.

Expected behaviour

When automatic backups are not set up write in the settings itself something like
"Safe contacts
Not set up yet"
After done a manual backup is done write
"Safe contacts
Manual backup dd-mm-yyyy"
And after the automatic backup is set up
"Safe contacts
Daily backup from your contacts"

Environment data

Android version: 8.1
Device model: OnePlus 3
Stock or customized system: LineageOs

Is there anything needed for the issue? Its really misleading to have it this way and it would just be some text changes...

@tobiasKaminsky
is it possible to reopen the issue? I still think this is a problem.

@tobiasKaminsky can you comment on this matter? :)

If anything needed, i am happy to provide more information. Other than that, this post is just this issue does not cloce because i think its a small but important change.

@jancborchardt do you have an idea how to name this better?
Same with davx5, we do not indicate if it is enabled/set up, so I think we do not need it here, but should make more clear that initial set up is required.

@natrius as the function itself is working, it is not a bug, but something we can and should enhance on a UI/UX level.
(changing the label also prevents bot to close it)

I鈥檇 say it鈥檚 simply a wording fix of the initial label to:

Back up contacts
Set up automatic backup

I suggested UI changes in my initial post as well. Sorry about the "bug" tag, you are correct, @tobiasKaminsky

Backups not set up

Back up contacts
Not set up yet

After done a manual backup is done write

Back up contacts
Manual backup dd-mm-yyyy

And after the automatic backup is set up

Back up contacts
Daily backup from your contacts

EDIT: Thanks @jancborchardt for pointing that out, changed it. Thought its always "Backup" :)

Good suggestions @natrius! One nitpick: "Back up" as in the verb are 2 words. :) Or we write "Contacts backup".
