Show Practice Time and logo animation in notification
I am reuesting two features: 1.Show Practice time in notification 2.Animate the app logo swinging in the notification icon
No Rush Thx
Thanks! I tried implementing both features, but I had no success:
- Updating the notification to show the current elapsed time results in a notification that stays permanent until the user dismisses it, the app wasn't able to remove the notification when the app is closed or in the foreground again, which I find is a bad user experience.
- Animating the notification icon sadly is not as straight foreward as you might think: I have to create a single file for every frame of the animation and specify the frame duration for it. Because the animation uses an accelerate-decelerate interpolator and is rather slow, it's nearly impossible to find the correct frame duration for each frame with the interpolation in mind and also many frames to make the animation smooth enough.
That are the reasons why I moved the features to the backlog, maybe I'm able to address them for a future release but for now they would take too much time.
