PKASS display is barebones

[papayavice]

I am glad that Catima added pkass files support but it is barebones.

I think is better to explain it with a picture, they should look something like this (Apple wallet and Passandroid examples)

This way you can see all the relevant info in one go for boarding pases and so on.

Also, they are sorted by expired time and not by valid from so if you have a boarding pass for something that it goes from one date to another with an expired date later than other boarding pass with and earlier expired date but later valid from (hope it makes sense), the later it will be shown before the former.

Options to add to calendar or navigate would be great as Passandroid has.

This seems to be a duplicate of #2264, but this one contains more info, so I'll leave this open instead of #2264.

Luckily Catima does save all the info (to the Notes field), so you can always access it by pressing (i), but yeah, I agree the display could be better (I just figured: waiting for pkpass support to be perfect would have delayed it even more, so let's launch a simple functional version first 🙂)

As I've also written in #2264, I'm not a designer and Android XML is far from my most skilled Android part. I'm mostly wondering about these:

1. How do we make pkpass display better without "ruining" the display of loyalty cards with way less info? (Maybe we just keep the current layout, remove the field with the name/logo on top (as it's not that important) and put the pkpass fields there? Could be a good start)
2. How do we deal with the edit screen? Right now, everything is put in the Notes field so its easy to edit, do we just "hide" pkpass info or something? It would definitely be simplest if pkpass info wasn't editable, perhaps start with it being uneditable and later add some simple key/value list?

Also, they are sorted by expired time and not by valid from so if you have a boarding pass for something that it goes from one date to another with an expired date later than other boarding pass with and earlier expired date but later valid from (hope it makes sense), the later it will be shown before the former.

Can you please create a new issue to request sorting by valid from? Having multiple requests in one issue makes it really hard to keep track of what has and hasn't been done. Adding sorting based on valid from would be quite easy.

Options to add to calendar or navigate would be great as Passandroid has.

That's a third and fourth feature request in 1 ticket :)

For calendar: I think it may be nicer if Catima itself could notify you for any card's validity/expiry so it would work more "out of the box" and wouldn't require manual steps from users (see #410).

For navigating: I would expect that to already somewhat work if the card contains GPS coordinates, but being more explicit couldn't hurt. However, that would first require redesigning the screen, I guess the navigating could be part of this screen: if the field is a location type, make it tappable.

Can you please create a new issue

I created new issues as requested.

I don´t know how we can make one without ruining the display of the other type or cards. Apple wallet and Google Wallet do that but I am no developer myself. Just an user, sorry.

That's fine, thanks :) I'll get to this... at some point. I definitely do agree pkpass handling right now is not good enough, but there is still so much to do :)
