Improved back stack in games #45

Open zond opened 7 years ago

zond commented 7 years ago

Players get confused with the current layout of activities, nav menus and back stacks.

This needs to change to minimize player confusion.

This means that when you press the back button, you end up in the wrong place right?

Specifically, if you go say map - thread list - thread - back you should be at the thread list, but you are actually at the game list

So moving horizontally within a game the pages aren't added to history.

Also when we enter the thread from a notification and the app wasn't already open, according to google we should populate The back stack as though the user had got there by the usual means ie game list, game, thread list,

I'm not familiar with this so called back stack but I'm guessing it's in the activities context and it behaves as a LIFO stack

Is there any progress on this issue? In my opinion, moving around and getting to the desired screen is the biggest issue currently with this application.

zond commented 5 years ago

I don't know that anyone is working on anything right now, so no known progress.

I tried to build it as well as I could, both in regards to UX and Android best practices, but it didn't turn out that well. Redesigning it is time consuming and tricky and not something I have the time or competence for :/

I understand. I don't know anything about it either tbh.
