I am unable to see "reset" button for settings

[Himanshu-Kandwal]

Is reset button (for settings) feature yet to be released?

In source code there exists such methods.

Yes, it will be available in the next release

Alright that reply sounds very passive aggressive. But anyway, I'm sorry if my previous reply sounded rude or disrespectful, I didn't mean to insult you. It's just that it is obvious that such a feature would reside in the settings screen, and the question was about how the actual implementation would be accommodated in the existing settings layout.

It seems you have answered that question here, but I do not agree with the way you want it implemented, and I'll write in detail about why here.

First, I would like to clear a misconception:

In previous reply's screenshot you can see "language" component which you have removed now.

The language picker is, in fact, not removed. It only appears if you are running the app on a device with Android 13 or later because it requires some APIs that are not present in older versions. You can test this right now by running the app on a newer emulator.

Now, as I understood it, you are suggesting that we should make the reset stats/reset settings button similar to the language picker button. I think this is not the correct way to implement this, as this is an action that not many users will ever use, so it should not be made very prominent. Here's my suggestion: Replace the "Reset stats" button with a "Reset" button, that opens a bottom sheet containing two list items: "Reset settings" and "Reset stats"

Do let me know what you think about it.

Some additional notes:

Most users never use "About" item to see about of the app as they already knew it before even installing it. nobody installs app and then check its settings-->about screen. 🤣

This screen is important for bug reports (to show the version name and code) and the FOSS version of the app has a link to donate to support the development of the app. This is important to drive traffic to the donation pages because it takes a lot of time and effort to make and maintain projects like these, which I believe you understand being a developer yourself. The Play Store version has a button to write a review, which is important as well.

oops, It was not aggressive. So Sorry for that.

I'm sorry if my previous reply sounded rude or disrespectful

Relax, it was not. 😉

bottom sheet containing two list items: "Reset settings" and "Reset stats"

It is good idea but it makes the resetting process a 3-step process,
1-> reset -> opens bottom sheet
2 -> select "reset settings" or "reset stats"
3 -> from pop-up , tap on confirm or cancel

it seems we are complicating it.

I think I am not a right person to talk about UI etc things as I am not that interested in this, and thats why I said that "I will stick to my existing suggestion",
there are 50+ contributors in this project, we may seek their suggestions regarding ui/ux. what do you say?

For me, all types of buttons/components to get this functionality are good.

Hey, I'm working on a backup/restore feature, and I will make a separate settings screen for it. We can keep the reset features in that screen once it is complete. I'll let you know when the feature is complete and then you can start working on the settings reset feature, so that we can implement it in the way that the existing reset stats button works. Thanks!

[Himanshu-Kandwal]

That's good, go ahead.

Thanks!

Hey, the backup/restore screen is live. You can now move the reset stats button into the backup/restore screen and add another list item for resetting settings. Make those two into a separate group of list items below the backup/restore buttons. Thanks!
