UI for pop-ups in beta5 a bit confusing #269

Open btaroli opened 13 years ago

btaroli commented 13 years ago

Upon tapping a statusbar pop-up, a small X in a circle appears to the right. Is this solely to close the pull-down?

Once I wrapped my head around an inbox icon for "Later" and action icon for "Open", I was left wondering "why is there no clear/delete icon?" So of course my mind mapped X to that and tried tapping it to get rid of the pop-up, and irritation ensued.

Though it goes beyond this one issue, I get the feeling a lot of UI complexity is being added... and I personally feel it's having the effect of being obtrusive to usability.

I should point out, too, that I got so irritated by this issue that I actually removed MobileNotifier from my phone for a few days. It's overall utility has me back using it again, but I actually dread the next time I have to interact with a pop-up, as it's implemented right now.

The X is supposed to be a clear/delete and it deletes the notification from the recent list on the lockscreen and dashboard. What is does not is the clear the App badge.

Oh, well then we can chNge this into a problem report. Because on my iPhone 4 I can tap that repeatedly until the pop-up times out, and the only thing that seems to happen is that the pull-down closes. And I'm fairly certain that I'm hitting it because I see it highlight when tapped.

@btaroli - I think I know what's causing your issue with being able to tap open/close the extended popout. The image, and therefore the tappable button area, is rather small.

I think it's recognizing your tap as being a tap on the notification instead of a tap on the close button. If you're really precise about your taps then tapping the close button works as it should.

I will look into making the button's tap area larger so that it's easier to hit. Technically speaking it's coded right, but in real use it doesn't work right.

Thanks for the stellar bug report as always dude!
