Android: Four new gestures

[samuelclay]

New gestures:

• Double tap story with one finger
• Two finger double tap story
• Long press story title
• Swipe story title left
• Swipe story title right
• Long press feed title
• Swipe feed title left
• Swipe feed title right

Actions available:

• Save/Unsave story (taps only)
• Read/Unread story (taps, long press stories, swipe story titles left/right)
• Mark feed/folder read (long press feeds)
• Open original story (taps, long press story titles, swipe story titles left/right)
• Show original text (taps, long press story titles, swipe story titles left/right)
• Show menu (taps, long press stories/feeds, swipe stories/feeds left/right)
• Do nothing (all)

Just launched this in iOS, so I'd love to see them here. They are documented through the Preferences dialog which shows each gesture and it's multi-option select of actions.

Interesting. Didn't know they were expected to be configurable. So far, I have 3 gestures built and defined based upon how many Android apps work for item lists (and, incidentally, as users have requested):

swipe right from left bezel: go back to feed list swipe right to left over story item: mark read swipe left to right of story item: mark unread (long-pressing items is already defined by the platform to bring up a context menu)

The mark read/unread aren't pushed to your branch yet, but easily could be. If you would rather wait and build a configuration system first, though, let me know.

Thanks for this, I look forward to using the swipe to mark read gesture when it shows up on Android.

Yes, they will need to be configurable for the simple reason that this is how they are discoverable.
