Re-showing system bars after long clicking an ayah #1496

The context

The idea

What do you think about showing system status bar and navigation bar again when the user long click on ayah (i.e. when showing the context popup)?

The example use case is: after reading the Quran, the user long click on an ayah, bookmark the ayah, and press back to close the Quran.

If I don't misunderstand the term "UI controls", which I think the popup are UI controls, I think it is aligned with what Android documentation says:

To provide a seamless transition between states, keep the visibility of all UI controls in sync with the system bars. Once the app enters immersive mode, any UI controls should also hide along with the system bars, and then also reappear when the system UI reappears.

The side effect

It is a little obstructed if the ayah position it at the top most or bottom most.

Why don't you just swipe from outside of the bottom of the screen to get the back button and exit?

BTW, I think the side effect is not there for new 'long' phones. However, for 'short' phones it will be more difficult if people try to select ayah range I guess.

Also, you don't need to bookmark when you finish. If you use the new widget, you can just exit the app and later tap the 'book' icon of the widget to immediately open the last page.

As a UX convenience for the users, some users like me might prefer one step instead of two steps. Btw I got your point. This is just my idea, I don't know how about the majority of the users.

Yes. But it seems some users may lose the track in case they jump to various ayahs after that.

Elisha Md Talip November 12, 2020 23 Upvotes The app is great, but with recent update, i found that triangle, circle and square (navigation bar) are being display together with the ayah, surah and reciter display, before this its hidden. Now it appears together and can sometime cover bottom ayah even though it is just a smidge. Also when highlighting an ayah to see the translation, it's reversed, the navigation bar doesnt appear, and difficult for me to navigate back to the ayah.
