6.0 beta - Scrolling task should have a fixed titlebar

[licaon-kter]

I wanted it to be like this, and I thought that's the default:

• image on left, see how the icon (list item) slides up under the title bar?
• image on right, see how the icon (list item) slides up from under the nav bar?

Just to be clear, what is the app doing now that is not like this?

No, on 5.1.1, the title bar scrolls up under the statusbar, while I expect it to be fixed and only the content to scroll under.

This is a common pattern found in material design apps. You can read about it here https://www.google.com/design/spec/patterns/scrolling-techniques.html#scrolling-techniques-scrolling

Now whether or not it is the best design choice for this app is a more subjective discussion :) But I think it's quite nice as it allows more content to be visible on the screen.

[licaon-kter]

Flexible space with overlapping content :)

I find it unhelpful as I finish adding items or setting reminders that now I need to scroll up to be able to get the back arrow visible.

[spacecowboy]

So you are referring to the Editor in particular then? And not the List?

[licaon-kter]

Yes, sorry if I did not make that clear from the start.

[spacecowboy]

Hmm, yeah I see your point in this case. Might change it and see how it feels.

[licaon-kter]

Actually it appears to have 2 modes now (6.0beta5):

• adding a reminder will scroll the view under the titlebar ( as I like it )
• scrolling the task by touch will scroll the view+titlebar under the status bar.

Oh, now I see it, on a tablet is clearer. You are using a card view, right? Any reason to prefer that instead of, say RecyclerView (with inneroverlay) ?

[spacecowboy]

It's not a card view as implemented by Google. It's just backgrounds and stuff to make it look like a card. It was implemented before card view was available. Long term, I would really like to RecyclerView all the things.

The difference in scrolling behavior is likely due to CoordinatorLayout not responding to programmatic scrolling, which adding a reminder does.
