Description

The Review forgotten cards dialog

Image

  • Add a title "Review forgotten cards".
  • Remove "x days" from the description.
  • Add a unit "day"/"days" to the box.
    • I decided against input steppers since this input isn't a saved setting. It also allows to add the unit more organically.
  • Replace "OK" with "Create".
  • If the resulting filtered deck is empty (i.e., no cards match the criteria), a red warning should appear and the button should be disabled, instead of an error dialog (see reference).
  • Show a warning when the input is invalid, limit the digits, and prevent leading zeros, like in https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/20520, except without input steppers.

Research direction
Examine the 'Review forgotten cards' dialog implementation. Look for the dialog layout file and its associated code in the AnkiDroid codebase. The issue references PR #20520 for input validation patterns, so study that PR. The checklist includes specific UI changes like adding a title, adjusting text, replacing button labels, and adding validation. Check the current dialog code to understand how it is built and where to make modifications.
