Usability: Poor UI rendering on WVGA / FWVGA devices #63

Closed a-f-G-U-C closed 3 years ago

a-f-G-U-C commented 4 years ago

On devices with screen resolutions between 480x800 - 480x900 the plugin's UI rendering is distorted, bordering on unusable, even though the rest of ATAK’s UI renders flawlessly even at 480x800.

There are a few issues:

This improves the UI for smaller screens by reducing some element sizes (mostly buttons) and using ConstraintLayout

There were some things I could not figure out (sorry not much of a UI/UX person), e.g. the Target Device spinner width, but it should be a significant improvement from the previous iteration: https://github.com/paulmandal/atak-forwarder/pull/65

There are several good improvements in PR #65 and no regressions as far as I can tell. It doesn't fix all problems, though. It should be safe to merge as-is and leave this issue open for further refinements.

Closing as no longer an issue with the new UI design
