Improve Drawing Surface #342

Original issue 335 created by helloworld1 on 2014-12-03T12:45:58.000Z:

What is the feature you want? The Drawing surface either shouldn't cover the whole screen or it shouldn't prevent to operate the Flashcards while being visible (e.g. as it is in Anki). Please see the attached screenshot for details about the idea.

Also, a toggle button to show/hide the Drawing surface would be nice.

How important is it to you? Well, I can live without that feature, but it would make it a lot easier for me to practice writing chinese characters without enabling/disabling the Drawing Surface for every Flashcard. I also use the 'note'-Field, but I can't switch to it, while the Drawing Surface is visible. This can be really annoying sometimes.

Do you think other people also want this feature and why? I think, everyone who uses the Drawing Surface, would like it if it wouldn't make the Flashcards unusable while being visible. It just saves time if you don't have to enable/disable it all the time.

I saw Anki's drawing function, which is indeed much better. THe drawing function has been changed since AnyMemo 8.x. It is due for an update.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. By now, I have modified the source and created a build by myself to achive the feature. I don't have much experience in Android Programming, so it's probably not an optimal solution, but at least I can scroll the cards in any direction and use the grading buttons without disabling the drawing window. It would be nice, if something like this or a better solution could find it's way in the official build soon :)
