Summary0011982: Simplify and improve wifi sync wizard
DescriptionCurrent implementation uses a lot of different fragments and dialogs. Simplified wizard using Android's design pattern should be used.

It will bring following advantages:
1. using subsequent dialogs is quite dangerous in Android and cause many issues. This caused that code is quite hard to read and extend.
2. It will be easier to go a step back
3. Additional text information might be added to make it much easier to understand
4. Multiple storage configuration might be possible - now one storage is configured only.
5. Different and adjusted layouts might be used for tablet devices

I have found simple wizard library here:
https://github.com/romannurik/Android-WizardPager

It might be quite similar to current implementation:
a) search servers
 - allow add server manually
 - show help in case of connectivity issues
b) show all storages as checklist - allow disable/enable them
c) configure all enabled storages - one by one
d) sync at the end of wizard

All screens will be full screen fragments in wizard's activity. Short additional text might be displayed to explain each step to user.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build1020

I think that this should be implemented together with multiple server support and wifi sync over TCP IP support. New "android like" wizard is imho needed.

Also some there are some necessary changes in dialogs that has to be done before.

It can be implemented in 1.1.1

Shouldn't that wizard be also shown On Setting -> Library and Sync -> Select Sync Server and not just first time sync setup or it was delayed till multi Server support is implemented?

It makes perfect sense to me.
