Also, I have problems with animated GIFs not animating, even SA smilies. Disable gif animation is off.

I like a lot of this. A couple niggles:
  • Disable GIF animation should be in Thread settings > Image preferences as it directly relates to images.
  • Theme settings > Choose layout does nothing for me, leads to a radio button for simply "Default".
  • Can we get rid of "Show next page button at top"? Seems ridiculous.
  • What is Look and Feel > Thread layout? I can't find it unless it refers to Theme settings > Choose layout.
  • Scroll thread with volume keys needs to be renamed to "Scroll with volume keys" as it scrolls more than just the thread.
  • It seems that by definition Theme setttings should be under Look and Feel.

You're also right that Look and Feel is a terrible name.

I picked Look and Feel so people would be inspired to think of a better one :v: it's really more of an app UI and performance tweaks section. That's why I put the GIF settings in there too, since I think the main reason people turn them off is to save battery life. It would be nice to have an option in both places, but if I had to choose (which I did) I'd put them in the technical options bit, not in the general graphics section.

Same with me for the Theme settings > Choose Layout part - I don't know why it's there or what it does, so I left it. Same for that Look and Feel > Thread Layout option - it's in the main menu right now, below Hardware Acceleration, but it's greyed out for me because I ain't got a tablet. Maybe it needs to go somewhere else.

Thanks for the feedback too, I looked through yours and I see we're generally grouping things the same way (sometimes implicitly, like I put the UCP options together at the end of their section). Really I just like the idea of trying to keep all the pure presentation options together, split into sections for each view since there's a lot of it, and treating the Theme menu as the section for the overall 'look'. If there's going to be more control over that in future it might make sense to keep it separate.

Then I threw everything else, performance tweaks and navigation controls, into their own bit. I like the idea of discoverability, so if people are (say) getting bad battery life they can look at the menu and instantly jump into the technical submenu and see options for disabling things with a note about how they help with battery and glitches. But so long as the whole thing's logical and people can look at a short list and understand where they need to go, that'll do

You and I know that disabling GIF animation is a battery saving option but I think the casual user would think that it's an image option.

Gotcha. It should probably be renamed "Tablet layout" for clarity.

It seems natural the grouping we came to: Options for the app in general, the thread list/bookmark view, the post view, and then About/Support options.

I think it would be better to fix the performance problems instead of having a tweaks settings area that people can fiddle with although I get that we're all autists here though.

Oh look it's another wall of text

How open are you to using on/off toggle with the title leading to the options (like Wi-Fi is in AOSP settings, for instance)? I know you said it targeted too high of an API but it changes how you'd structure the settings so I need to know.

Checkbox and Switch preferences are the same thing differently styled. Use them if you want but they'll be Checkboxes <ICS.

Cuntpunch posted:

1. If you are not on the final page of a thread and pull down to go to the next page, the bar at the top still reads "Release to Refresh" rather than whatever it used to say about the next page

2. Using the icon to go back no longer remembers if you accessed the thread through your bookmarks rather than the forums, it always takes you to the thread's back to the thread's forum. However if you swipe back it does seem to remember whether you came via bookmarks

1. I'm looking to solve that, its just a bit complex and didn't have priority because its just cosmetic.
2. As the others have said, this is the correct behavior and how it was supposed to work for at least like a year and a half. I don't know if it was you but I remember someone writing the same thing during the beta.

Kibner posted:

I'd also like to agree with the others saying P4N takes too much scrolling on phones. I would like to see it at 35%. I use a DROID 3.

anthonypants posted:

Instead of making it a percentage of the screen size, could you make it like an inch or two and expand that based on whatever the vertical resolution is?
This is probably going to be a slider with presets at .5 for phones and .3 for tablets.


Using this market image, the long red line is the part that actually matters for the P2R, the rest doesn't really exist as far as it's concerned. Now by default you need to cover half of that to trigger it. It doesn't matter where you start as long as you cover the distance of half that red bar (also indicated by red bars because I'm a genius). The problem is that if you make it too small you'll accidentally trigger it all the time when scrolling. You make it too big you'll run out of webview and the P2R stops.

nexus6 posted:

Why on earth do you pull from the bottom to load the next page but the only visual indication that you are doing anything is at the top?
Because the library didn't have PfB at all (because of that very reason actually) and I hacked it in. The alternative is basically not having it at all. Which you can do, there's an option for that.

pokeyman posted:

Square tags will either be in 3.1 or not, switching between them and the old ones is a bad idea for various reasons.

We're currently not parsing secondary tags at all but that's shouldn't be too hard. I've just looked at the 6 icons and I'm not a big fan of them to be honest. I guess they belong in the top left corner?


LastInLine and baka kaba: I've just skipped over your suggestions so far but I'll take a closer look tomorrow. Looks good so far.

I like the new version aesthetically but think that the touch area for the 3 dots on the right of a username could stand to be bigger, I might just have lazy fingers but I seem to just expand the users avatar half the time.

Also a slider as you mention for percentage of pull to refresh would be great, feels a bit much at the moment on my s3

I absolutely love the new look and feel of the new app. Thanks for all the hard work!

My only complaint though, and it has been mentioned a few times before, is the missing indicator at the bottom when you do a P2N.
The way it works at the top is great and intuitive, but my finger is covering it when I pull to next page, so it's almost useless.

Also, please stick with the official forum/thread tags/icons.

You have three options:

Eclipse - The old dog, reliable but lacks some niceties, feels a bit dated to me.
IntelliJ IDEA - A lot of people have switched to this now, I find some of the keybindings infuriatingly stupid but otherwise it's a really nice IDE. The first Java IDEA I've used which feels anything like as good as Visual Studio.
Android Studio - Google's own branch of IntelliJ, it's a beta so has a few issues but does some nice Android specific things. I use this at home for my own projects where I'm fine with being on the bleeding edge.

Come ask in the Android dev thread if you want more detail, people will happily argue about this all day :) .

I've compiled a zip for css testing.

Just drop your file into the css folder, press the button at the top and enter the .css file name (eg yospos.css).

It's probably best to test with a webkit browser like chrome or safari since that will get the closest results but I guess Firefox should be ok too.

Note that the img .avatarCorner tag will be removed by the end of the week and that colors on your screen will look different on your device

I'm not a fan of how slow P2R is now. I have to drag my finger ~2-3 inches across my screen to get it to complete the refresh.

Also thanks for posting the square thread tag screenshot earlier. It looks like with the square tags there will be less space for the title text, so count me as a vote against. I remember pestering SD in his Geekner period to allow linewrap of thread titles so that one could see the full thread title in forums view (I think it was him), so this is to me a step backwards.

Liking the new update, but one small issue I've seen so far. On my Nexus 7 (v2) when I rotate the app into landscape mode the screen blanks out and I loose all the posts (or the forums if I'm at that level). Rotating it back only seems to fix it once in a while, most times it remains blank. I usually have to quit out and go back into the app to get things working again. Other than that, the new look and feel is great. :)
