Add "Include in Summary" Flag to Filter Expenses from Totals #695
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the Home tab displays three aggregate values (daily, monthly, yearly) summing all defined recurring expenses. There’s no way to opt out specific expenses or one-off payments from these totals, which makes the overview less accurate when you want to focus on a custom subset of items.
Describe the solution you’d like
Add a persistent “Include in totals” field in the expense entry. When this flag is off, that expense would be excluded from the Home summary calculations. Implementation sketch:
- Extend the Expense data class with a Boolean includeInSummary field (default true)
- Update the Room schema and DAO queries to filter on includeInSummary == true
- Expose the toggle in the UI (e.g. in the expense detail screen or long-press menu in the list)
- HomeViewModel’s sum functions would automatically respect the new flag when computing daily/monthly/yearly totals
Describe alternatives you’ve considered, if any
- Manually tagging unwanted expenses in a separate category and mentally subtracting them
- Deleting and re-adding expenses to approximate a custom total, which is error-prone and cumbersome
Additional context
- You’ll need to migrate the database to add the new column and update all DAO methods accordingly
- This feature aligns with the app’s goal of flexible, user-driven reporting
