I'm all new to the Android from a personal experience level, what I had before was a palm pre.
What I miss most is lack of swipe-to-delete in lists. with a simple gesture sliding left or right on a single list entry deletes the item from the list; sometimes it prompts with a (delete) (cancel) buttons in the position fo the item in the list.... continuing to delete items queues them all under the same delete/cancel, but removes them from the list. It wasn't a specific application feature, though, I know that everyone could revisit their app and add such support maybe ... not sure how gestures hook into it all; It was a feature that was common to the list class of control that was used. And even now, I'm sure it's not really feasible to extend the core library to allow every application to support that; since it won't actually delete; but maybe that's okay and it's just a temporary delete... because the app would of course have to handle some sort of OnDeleteItem event. The other design feature that the palm has is some navigation features by sliding across touch sensitive sensors-- much like the Nexus S has for its buttons... if one were to slide from one control to another in a swiping motion, could trigger actions; this is more of a preference, and I'll forget I didn't have it - since mostly I just use that for a back button (swipe left). I'm also used to being able to swipe up to get to the list of 'cards' that are applications, and scroll those left and right to get back to where I was. This feels like a very single tasking interface. I'm not entirely incapable of making such mods and submitting patches either if someone could point me in the right direction right off. Ya, I think I'll moan about lack of delete (alternative setting might be archive) in the email, and the notifications - like how do you clear a notification without touching on it? and then it goes away so you can't get back to it.. if I were able to just throw it off the screen to clear it; It becomes a very natural motion, and it's an unused event. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
