Comment(by Treviño):
Replying to [comment:1 zecke]:
> @Implementation: It is fine, maybe the valuespace is not populated from
the callhistory
No, it isn't... What do you think about implementing the "search-last-
dialed-number" feature? Do you think it would be much slower?
> @Approach:
> - Having a feature that is not easy to discover (no button for it),
that can be accidently triggered (someone pressed call with an empty
number accidently and then a complete number gets dialer) are violations
of common usability standards.
Well, that's not completely true... Yes, there's no button for it, but
redialing pressing the "green button" is a common phone feature. However
With my patch to re-dial the "LastDialedCall" you need to press the call
button twice, not once!
In fact, if the text string is empty and you press the call button, that
text area just populated with the latest called string. If you want to
dial that number, instead, you've to press the call button another time. I
think that this is a reasonable approach.
> @Proposal: Add a redial action to the menu of the dialer. This will take
two clicks (open menu, click on redial) and we can consider exchanging the
SMS button with the redial action (easy once the code for the action is
there) in the future. Would you be willing to give that a try?
I could do it, but imho adding a button is redundant while using the menu
action is not so intuitive. I'd exchange the SMS button with a "clear
number", instead...
