When starting to use xDrip+ two weeks ago the way the entry dialog behaved was very unnatural for me. Whilst I have gotten used to it by now I feel that this might be an barrier to entry for new users.
When entering something in most systems this is done top to bottom. If doing so in the entry dialog in xDrip+ it means that you first enter the amount, then select if it is insulin or carbohydrates and then select the insulin type. This however doesn't work because the amount gets registered with whatever was selected at the bottom when it was entered.
I assume that the behavior is intended to allow for the entry of multiple things in one go. It could be made more logical by reordering the input elements such that the type selection is at the top followed by the insulin type selection with the numerical entry at the bottom. This should not be too intrusive a change for existing users and might prevent quite a few errors for new users.
Happy to create an issue for this or try to create a pull request if someone points me at where to start. I do have programming experience but not with phone apps.
