Description

Dialog for user voting

Dialog for delegating

The activity UserVote is responsible for collecting necessary data about the voting of a user on a special topic. The user who casts a vote has three options: accept, decline and delegate. If a user chooses "delegate", a dialog with a "UserPicker" must be provided. The chosen user must be notified and allowed to vote. The delegatee can re-delegate, but only to the primary user. A notification must be sent again. All delegation actions of the activity must be logged internally and be passed to the next activity.
