Description

Your use case

The Create a space screen has information about spaces located in lots of different places in this screen - why not in one place?

  • "Spaces are a new way to group rooms and people at the top (away from all the other UI)
  • "To join an existing space, you need an invite" - between the header and the buttons
  • "You can change this later" - at the bottom of the screen - change what?

Have you considered any alternatives?

Research direction
Explore the codebase to find the 'Create Space' screen. Look for the Fragment and its layout XML. Identify where each text element is placed and how they are grouped. Then think about consolidating the information into a single cohesive section. It may be helpful to run the app and view the screen.
