redesign/modify UI and UX

[harshsri2208]

Interested people can redesign UI/UX for a better user experience. The current UI has a single page for all the activities and looks space deficient. Providing different pages for all the activities would provide a better control over the app.

@harshsri2208 I would like to work on this. However seeing as it's in 'Java', I would prefer to migrate it to 'kotlin' as it's the de-facto language for android app development. I submitted an initial PR to upgrade to the latest dev tools. Check it out.

I will submit further PRs after my UI/UX changes.

@harshsri2208 I have a good idea of re-designing the app UX. But right now I'm blocked because of this PR.

I don't want to force you to migrate the app to 'kotlin' but at the same time, I don't want to waste time working in 'java'. So let me know if you don't mind migrating to 'kotlin' or going to stick with 'java'.

[harshsri2208]

Thanks for your concern. But I think I would be continuing with Java for a while.

@harshsri2208 Here's the idea of the UX I tried out.

The Meme creation use case is pretty simple and can easily be split into multiple screens for sure. But having a single screen also isn't a bad idea. The idea of the proposed UX is to make it conversational style where the user need to focus on only one thing at a time. On a high level the user required to do,

1. Pick an image
2. Add a text at the top
3. Add a text at the bottom
4. Check preview of the meme
5. Save or Share it

The original UX had a single screen with these actions and attempting to direct the user by disabling few actions at the beginning and enabling it as the user performs initial actions. This could be improved by requiring the user to do one thing at a time and walk through him along the way.

Hey, am UI/UX designer, would you mind getting a design from me?

[harshsri2208]

@JAtoms sure. If you want I can assign you the issue.

[JAtoms]

Al right. Assign the issue to me, most importantly, I'd like to see the initial design

[harshsri2208]

Sure. You can make improvements to the current UI as per your choice. I created a new branch UI-modification for this issue.

[JAtoms]

Ok. can I have an image of the old UI?

[JAtoms]

I just sent a PR. I made necessary UI changes in two different XML files. So write the Java code to connect the XML

[harshsri2208]
