UI enhancements for Material Design

[vreixo]

Would be great to come up with a redesign to integrate options menu and target new API levels.

Now we are using an old version because of the compatibility overflow button to show on devices with on screen buttons.

The options that I see are to make a more complex panel on top with a settings button or to add a sliding menu on the right.

I think that I prefer to preserve actual mode selector instead of the tipical drawer meanwhile the app does not have more functions or screens.

@vreixo I've thought about this too, and I'm not sure I have a good solution for the options menu that is better than leaving it where it currently is. One option would be to make the mode selector panel scrollable and put the options in the panel below the mode selector. Google Maps uses a similar concept.

[vreixo]

@barbeau I had thought on that possibility too and I actually think that might be the best approach for now, I'll give it a try and see how it fits because I really would like to target new API levels.

I'm testing some new designs and playing around with new L features :-)

I'll also want to change the custom buttons that we have now and use proper drop down shades and elevation features.

[vreixo]

I have replaced the ListView by radio buttons, because it causes many problems to have one scrollable component inside of another. Also didn't make so much sense because the adapter was manually filled.

Accent color is our orange from the logo and title bar is darker but on the same color range. I think that goes well alongside the logo on app miniature when changing in between apps.

:+1: Looks good to me!

As part of this we can update to new material icons set, which includes official icons for bus, train, bike, etc. As listed here: https://google.github.io/material-design-icons/

We can generate the icons as specific colors using: http://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-generic.html#source.space.trim=1&source.space.pad=0&size=24&padding=8&color=33b5e5%2C100&name=ic_example

Or, we can generate black icons and color them programmitically - see OBA Android navigation drawer: https://github.com/OneBusAway/onebusaway-android/blob/develop/onebusaway-android/src/main/java/org/onebusaway/android/ui/NavigationDrawerFragment.java#L488

Wow, would be a great enhancement :-).

Btw I plan to upload the updated look version that I have previously commented, now on Christmas. With the new work I didn't have any time yet to do it, but will be soon because it's almost finished I just need to check that everything works and make the commits.

Another thing will we to check the problems with Coruña server, because it crashes all the time. I start the standalone grizzly server and, every time, a few hours later, it's gone. El 20/12/2014 18:01, "Sean Barbeau" [email protected] escribió:
