Feature Request: Provide feedback if an entered token is rejected and don't remove it

Open lenkawamoto opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

Currently (on Android) if an invalid token is entered in the phone app's settings page, the token is simply rejected and removed from the list of tokens. It would be nice if, instead, there is a message that indicates that the token is invalid (and perhaps an error code or an appropriate/helpful error message). Additionally, rather than simply removing the rejected token, it would be neat to keep it and allow the user to edit the token which is probably a simple typo correction. This would allow the user to fix the problem token without having to re-enter the entire value.

Providing feedback is currently a limitation of the fitbit platform. There's no way to display an error message on the settings app.

I may look into displaying the error message on the watch instead, but that assumes that the user is keeping the watch app open while entering a token. I'm not sure it's the best solution. For the time being I'm waiting for improved settings support.

Editing may be tough but I'll investigate.

Thanks for the request!
