Comments on first use of Android Beta

[flathat]

Really great to see this.

Device: Motorola Moto G3, Android 6.0

• Home
  • The line below Beta, "Feedback" is obscured by the task button set
  • The page does not scroll/push up or pinch to zoom out
• Stores
  • Gets a blank screen/page (no map) with "Google" in lower left
• Sales
  • Page scrolls
  • Does not un-pinch to zoom in, smaller type is too small to read
  • Tap on image goes to sub-page of that type
• Menu
  • Page scrolls
  • Does not un-pinch/zoom-in but all readable at default font size
• List Sorry, I didn't get right off that it is a shopping list selected from the store's products
  • Is an item search
  • Autocomplete works
  • Select from autocomplete brings item description to search box
  • "+Add" adds item to a list. Within list:
  • First tap of "do not enter" icon on item
    • closes keyboard it it is visible
    • does nothing if keyboard is not visible
  • Second tap of "do not enter" icon on item deletes item from list
  • The checkmark icon is initially gray
  • First tap if keyboard is displayed:
    • Hides keyboard
    • Does nothing to the item
  • First tap if keyboard is displayed or 2nd tap if keyboard not displayed:
    • Makes it green
    • Changes item font to strikethrough
  • Tap check icon if green:
  • changes icon to gray
  • changes item font to normal
  • Tap "Do not enter" of item:
  • At start of list: OK
  • In middle of list: OK
  • At end of list: OK
  • The List is preserved upon return from the Menu page
  • The List is preserved on closing the app and re-opening!

Thanks! That's all really helpful.

I wish I had a better solution for the stores piece. Google maps doesn't work in the android simulators so I can't really test pre-release builds without buying a 2nd phone.

As far as I can tell react-native doesn't have a way to add pinch-zoom to <Image> elements, but they should do dynamic resize if you turn your phone 90 degrees which effectively zooms in some.

Is the Shopping List inventory-aware? That its, does it know whether items are in stock?

[gohanman]

That's a backend implementation detail. The list is querying a remote website for autocomplete. That website may or may not be inventory aware. In my case I'm using "sold in the last 90 days" as an approximation of in stock. We only run perpetual inventory on a pretty small subset of items so the actual inventory data isn't super useful in this context.
