Navigation Missing Down Arrows #146

Closed jag3773 closed 9 years ago

jag3773 commented 9 years ago

The chapter and resource navigation on Android have little down arrows that indicate they are clickable, but that is not present in iOS, makes it difficult to tell that is the way to navigate.

Previously, an issue was created asking me to remove these arrows, and they do not appear on the design spec.

I could live with it either way, but Android and iOS need to look the same here too.

dwsolberg commented 9 years ago

PJ, would you change this in Android?

This may be an instance where different user expectations dictate a difference in implementation for each platform.

iOS has a normal behavior of text being tappable. This generally isn't the case in android, so having an additional cue in the UI that text in the toolbar is actionable is more important. Without an indicator, it is just plain text and looks like a title, not a button.

@sampeckham can you weigh in on this one?

sampeckham commented 9 years ago

@PeeJWeeJ is right in this behaviour.

iOS: All text, with some exception to the middle (title) text in the title bar is assumed actionable/clickable. Android: Unless they are tabs (which have underlines) all actions have icons.

While the apps should generally look the same, it's always deemed poor design/lazy to make them identical for identical sake, and it often annoys the users when things are not quite the way they should on in their native OS.

The bigger issue is that the chapter titles are not being truncated and run into the language selector, overlapping badly.

As far as I can tell that's not an issue on Android, but that's a different issue anyway, so I'm going to close this.
