Tablet design/layout #93

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use any android 3.0 device (moto xoom, samsung galaxy tab 10.1) to load the 
app

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
One would expect to see a layout optimized for the larger screen real estate 
similar to NPR's iPad experience.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
Most likely requires design/UX help from NPR.

The app was working fine on my Galaxy 10.1 tablet but now seems to be locked 
into portrait mode - which I hate! PLEASE let it operate in landscape mode 
again!

Is it possible to keep the non-honeycomb devices (ie phones) locked in 
portrait, but allow tablets to do both?

Wow! This issue is almost 1 year old and still unresolved. Let it be known that 
the NPR Android app is indeed still locked in portrait mode on the XOOM. 
Motorola now sells XOOM's bundled with a docking station which demands all apps 
to support landscape mode.

We've cracked this open and are working on a more tablet friendly visual 
design. At the moment, we are targeting 7 inch tablets. These devices are 
typically held in portrait more often than landscape. We will see if we can get 
the tablet layout to work in landscape, too.

"At the moment, we are targeting 7 inch tablets." Narrow it down even
further: 7 inch wooden tablets, no processor, no battery, no display, just
wheels for the kiddies to roll it around with.

Most Android and iPad tablets are bigger than 7 inches. And many many of
them come with docking stations for use in Landscape mode.

With any luck maybe this time next year you will begin to do something
about your lousy app just before everyone quits buying them because who
wants a laptop without a keyboard. Jobs was an idiot.

2.4 release improved support for a wider range of devices. Will break out 
future tablet enhancements into seperate issues.
