Agenda and Outline on menu

[J. David Boyd via mobileorg-android]

What are these supposed to do (without me getting all the code and reading
it), please?

And the top status bar, what is the left spinning circle representing? I
know if I push the circular arrows, they turn into a spinning circle, and
synch with my Dropbox folder, but what does the left spinning circle
represent when I start MobileOrg?

Try them? Well, more seriously, whenever I've tapped on Outline, it's gone
to the top level view. That was more relevant in older versions, which
didn't have the current expanding outline behavior. Whether that's what
it's supposed to do, I've no idea.

Agenda is new: dynamic agendas, where MobileOrg will refresh the agenda's
content instead of merely displaying the static agendas that your computer
generated during org-mobile-push. Mark it "done" on your phone, and the
phone's dynamic agenda will stop showing it immediately, where the
old-style agendas would require syncing with the computer to refresh. I've
been waiting for that feature for the 5 months I've been using MobileOrg
:) and others have been waiting longer.

I think it's a bug, or if not that, then something untidy that should be
cleaned up. I can discern no useful purpose for it. (I'm kind of convinced
that this should be among the top 5 interface design rules: never ever put
something in the interface if its purpose is not immediately obvious and
you're not prepared to explain it. No matter how trivial it seems, somebody
will think it means something is broken otherwise.)

The spinning circle when starting mobileorg definitely is a bug. I got
it on my LG Optimus under Android 2.x and it's completely gone with
Android 4.x. Downgrading to 2.x (I didn't like the way 4.x branch works
on my phone) I got the spinning wheel back again. I wish it were the
most serious bug in mobileorg -|:)

Are you referring to an additional "spinning circle" symbol that is always

visible? This seems like a bug that doesn't seem to show up on any of my
devices. What Android version are you using? Could you provide a screenshot?

Yes, I have the same issue on two devices:

- Samsung phone running Gingerbread (2.3.6). Here, the circle keeps
spinning indefinitely (attached).

- Asus transformer pad running Jelly Bean (4.1.1). The circle spins for
awhile but eventually stops. (Possibly related to CPU capacity? The tablet
has a zippier CPU than my phone.)

Note, I wasn't syncing when I took the screenshot. I just opened MobileOrg.

Hi to all!
I can confirm this issue on LG Optimus One (P500) running Gingerbread.
