Comment 13 for bug 579443

Since Chris suggested that you all guys are subscribed to most issues as well, I'm moving the discussion on this issue from the mailing list to here.

1. I thought, I need to create an Activity to be able to show the full-screen trip stats window. Since Kieran and Julien suggested to rather use a dialog, I intend to create a custom dialog set to fill the full screen. A Map button in its lower corner would close it and uncover the map screen. It probably is not the most common way of using a dialog, so I wonder if it's the right solution, but I think it might do the job pretty well. What do you think, guys?

2. To show the trip stats dialog, I'm thinking to add an item menu "Trip Stats". How do you like this idea?

3. The trip stats would be maintained by a service to which listeners can subscribe. The stats dialog would subscribe to it upon showing. So, the stats info would be updated, if if screen is showing, whenever stats change.

Any comments are welcome. I intend to get to coding soon.
