40. Handle multiple attachment actions

Date: 2024-02-28

Status

Accepted

Context

• Attachment can be tapped even if its previous action (download/view) is still handling
• When user tap one attachment multiple times, race condition can happen

Decision

1. When an attachment is prepared to download/view:

• Tapping function of that attachment will be disabled
• The attachment icon in front of the attachment name will be replaced by a loading UI

2. When an attachment is downloaded/viewed:

• Tapping function of that attachment will be enabled
• The attachment icon in front of the attachment name will be returned

Consequences

• The attachment button on Twake Mail will now only be tapped once per handling, improving performance & prevent multiple actions by mistake
