Deltachat-android: on Android 4, the Settings screen looks weird and misses some padding

Telegram in comparison:

Icon/Text of settings is really close to the screen border. Not sure if this is specific to my old device.

i think so, also noticed that for android 4.x. not totally sure, what the reason for that is, however, whatever the fix might be, this may result in keeping two layout files which results in additional maintenance then. so i am not sure if it is worth the effort.
there are already lots of workarounds to avoid android 4 crashes, eg. https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/865 :/

@Jikstra otoh - is only the settings main page that looks weird to you?

wrt Telegram: well they paint everything on their own and do not use the typical views. this makes the app unusable for screen readers and so on (we're in contact with some blind people that test such things)

The loading dialog/popup with that rotating circle thing is also misaligned. But that's all I came across.
EDIT: It's the same in the "Profil anzeigen" thing. Probably more which use the same layout.

So maybe not worth it. I'm fine with having it not 100% polished on older devices.

thanks for the info. we're about to redesigning the profile view anyway, so we'll probably test android 4 for not crashing anyway. if it does not come with cost of maintainability, we'll also have an eye one the layout then :)

I am wondering if the results from an Android Studio Code Inspection give valuable hints regarding behavior on older Android Versions:

(The total amount of errors/warnings depends on the selected Checks)
