[SDK] [Time picker] [Calendar] choose event time

[Gabriele]

When you insert an event it is useless to choose the time with the precision of minutes . I believe it is easier to choose the time in steps of 5 minutes.
I also would put some preset buttons with 15, 30 , 45 mins

I use Aquaris e4.5 ubuntu editione with vivid 15.04 r23

For most events a precision of 5 min will be plenty enough. But there is a usage for a one minute precision. Think about train or bus schedules as an example.
Nevertheless, I would appreciate preset buttons for 00, 15, 30, and 45 minutes.

Hi Johannes,

it is certainly true that some events require an accuracy of 1 minute.

But the app is a calendar that is used primarily to mark appointments, events, etc.

If I have to take a train at 12:13, I can record the event at 12.00 writing: "train to Milan at 12:13 platform 2" even for a few minutes early for the alarm.

Now is very very annoying rotate, and rotate ... and rotate...my cursor and try to "strike the right" the minute right;-)

Jumps to 5 minutes in 5 minutes and buttons 00, 15, 30, 45, I think are best.

This seems common practice on other mobile platforms - 5 min intervals in the time spinner. So I'd say it's something we may want to adopt.

we are using time picker from Ubuntu tool kit, so we need this support for SDK component
