Suggestion: Less surprising event creation for empty days in Month view

[jacquesh]

Quick update: I did some debugging for this. For reasons I do not understand (I'm not at all an Android developer), the AgendaFragment created when going from Month view to Agenda view (by tapping on a date), almost immediately receives a scroll event. This causes it to updated the action bar and the internal state for "current time" based on the first item visible on the agenda. As above if that item isn't on the day you tapped on, it changes the "current date" and so creating a new event will go to that date rather than the one you selected.

I'd like to try submit some sort of fix for this issue (either by making it not change the date 2 frames after going to agenda view, or by changing the behaviour to go straight to the "New event" screen when selecting a day) but it would be nice to get an opinion from a maintainer as to what their preferred behaviour would be.

I was expecting "2." personally, maybe create a setting for that behaviour. I would perhaps even say that tapping on an event specifically (inside a day square in month view) should open the event. Tapping on the square itself should open the small editor if there are no events and open agenda if there are. Holding an event specifically should edit the event and holding the day-square in general should always open the big editor.

Any thoughts, @Gitsaibot or @jspricke?

@jacquesh please don't ping bugs. If you want a change I would propose to open a pull request with a patch.

Sorry, I hesitated on the ping, but decided to go for it because I'm specifically looking for an opinion from a maintainer on what change to make (and the same was true in the original post from 6 months ago).

My preferred option would be that tapping on an empty day in the month view goes straight to the "create a new event" screen. If you're happy with that conceptually then I'll of course try put together a PR accordingly.

That would be okay for me.
