Show actual margins or consider input as coming from outside the view too, right now you can come from outside and nothing is registered.

Show the Note updated message only if th note is really updated (it would be nice if this was done as a check comparing the saved note with the current note for this, instead of a simple flag as this would avoid showing the message for a non-modifying change)"

Hi,

your app is a good one for the first release but the usability, user experience it is still a bit rough:

first of all your app is starting with a splash screen but i dont think that is nessesery do do that if you write it efficiently. The Notepad app[01] i was using until i have android and i can remember comes good out without any useless splash screen.

Secondly and much more important is that if i am editing with your app a note there is once a floppy icon (save icon) at the top action bar without any text and secoundly a button with the word save on at the button (translating that roughly from my german user interface so maybe they are called differently). As a normal user i would think both would do the same, save the note. But it is on the contrary, these floppy icon means export this note to the sdcard. Thats not a good look and feel, its not what the user expect. So i would suggest moving that export option from the unclear symbol at the top into the menu (⋮) as a text "export" (or at least a better symbol).

also i dont understand why i have (as a dumb user not as someone who nows something about menaging datastructures) to save a note and open it up again if i want to set a reminder to it. Why cant i just set a reminder the first time when i have just created that note.

i hope youll fix that

thanks

ps: you may should that export just move into the settings menu completely with the possibility to export all, import them back for backup purposes to the sdcard

Annotations:
01: Notepad (Basic note taking) - https://f-droid.org/app/bander.notepad

Now you need to touch icon->Edit just to see it.

1. Include a functionality to rename categories
2. Show the number of notes in each category (in the overview list, which is shown after swiping from the left side of the screen)
3. Be able to assign several selected notes to a category. Currently, if I wanted to assign 50 notes to a category, I need to edit 50 notes and change the category in each of them.
4. When deleting a category, ask whether included notes should be assigned to a new category.
5. When creating a note, preselect the currently selected category. E.g., if am inside of my category "dogs" and I create a new note, then "dogs" should be preselected. Maybe, such a functionality could even be turned on/off inside the settings screen.

Share notes

The ability to assign notes to a category.
Categories can be created, edited and deleted.
Notes can be filtered by a category.

From #42 "Ordering Notes : Allow users to select the sort order of the notes in 2 or more ways (Alphabetical, Creation date, Modified date etc.) and show the notes according to the preference. Currently the app seems to be showing the notes in the order in which it was created which seems to too rigid on the user. The icon that sorts them alphabetically is of little help but would be better if it remembered the preference."

Note: alphabetical is already included

Like in Swifnotes for instance

Add an ability to create/modify the text files (like the files created by the file manager of CyanogenMod) more than the normal .txt

First use case: backup with Syncthing
How to: you have a note updated, the text file is updated too, Syncthing makes a backup
Primary thing to be done: have all the notes exported all the time

Second use case: sync between devices with Syncthing (multiple devices share a folder)
How to: on start (and periodically) the app loads (newer) notes from local
Primary thing: exported notes have their dates note1-UTC20161125123456in name as a simple way to keep track of last update

Yes, the multiple devices use case could get complex, but I'm thinking of 2 or 3 devices that have internet access most of the time.

This concerns mostly text files as exported now, I like them better as I can edit them on a PC too without any hassle. If you want them binary, as the app keeps them, it might be easier or harder, I don't know now.

From #42 "Instead of showing a tick mark on a completed item, showing it using a Strike over the item would be much more appealing."

...and back

...with option for the number of lines.

Well, if that selected Android view allow it anyway.

in dicussion :)

Change selector to multi-checkbox view.

Add an ability to save the sketch in .png images, please!

Add, edit and delete text notes

Any plans to implement rich text support (Markdown and/or HTML)? And what about adding cloud storage support, preferably in open sourced plattforms like Next/Owncloud?

I wanted make a few suggestion that would probably improve the app

• Manipulating list items : Allow the user to manipulate the text of the each entry of a list. Currently it is only possible to delete an item by selecting it. It would be better if there was an option to Edit the item, Select the text of that item.

• Ordering Notes : Allow users to select the sort order of the notes in 2 or more ways (Alphabetical, Creation date, Modified date etc.) and show the notes according to the preference. Currently the app seems to be showing the notes in the order in which it was created which seems to too rigid on the user. The icon that sorts them alphabetically is of little help but would be better if it remembered the preference.

• Strike the finished item : Instead of showing a tick mark on a completed item, showing it using a Strike over the item would be much more appealing.

• Swap Export and Share icons : Swap the location of the Export option and Share option for a note. I guess a user is more likely to share a note than to export a note.

• Show Note updated message only when note is updated : currently the Note Updated message seems to be show each time a user sees a note and comes back to see a list of notes even if he hasn't updated anything. This seems a bit annoying. Show the Note updated message only if th note is really updated (it would be nice if this was done as a check comparing the saved note with the current note for this, instead of a simple flag as this would avoid showing the message for a non-modifying change)

• Show notes completely : Show the contents of the the notes completely when in landscape mode or when the keyboard is active. Currently the content that is being edited is not shown well to the user. I guess the following screen shots would illustrate what I wanted to convey.
  
  

When a user taps on the create note by mistake and taps the back button the note is saved with a default name. It would be better if the notes were not saved if they were empty. A toast could be displayed to the user that, note was not saved because it was empty.

Please add option to protect notes (or categories) with word–based password.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add new text note
2. Write things
3. Try to scroll down and be disappointed by the overlapping of the category selection with the bottom line.

Expected result: being able to scroll down half a line more and read the note in full

with option to move them to recycle on marking.

with checkbox in main notes view for marking.
