Re: [libreoffice-design] Suggestions for an Android User Interface
You may be right. Maybe there is a way of hiding some of the functions and implementing an extendend-view button. Because I think if an office suide under Android doesn't have all the basic functions nobody will really use it except for displaying documents without editing them. for the phone yes, I can't see people do much more then just viewing and editing little things. but on the tablet you can get away with adding a little more. Mirek has just posted his mock ups for the phone here[1] and the tablet here [2]. you know that I am a big component for Citrus, and if we are to impiment it, it only make sence to also go with frivl(tablet) and Zest(phone) for the look and function the same. I know that you do not like Citrus but I have yet to see your critiques on it. could you make your own thread critiquing it. I agree. It would be a bad open source project, if it wasn't better than an apple product :) agreed. Is the main target group of LO-Mobile supposed to be religious people? ;) No... that just sounds stupid. they are the only people I talk to with ipads and pages. so I ask them stuff. there is a lot of them and they all use it to write a lot of docs. and it is best to give a sermon with a ipad well because everything is better when you don't have to carry around a bunch of note books. if I was talking to people from school I would continue to call them guys from school. besides we should all be doing this in some part for people we know and love. we don't do this just for the sake of making an open source office suite. yes that is a big part of it, but I'm doing this because I like open source, I want to use it, I know that LO is much better then M$O, and I want others to use it. if people use our product because they see that it is a better alternative then I will be so freaking happy, because I had something to do with making what they needed.

[libreoffice-design] Suggestions for an Android User Interface
Hi, I would like to make some suggestions for an Adroid UI of LibreOffice: http://www.christopherstark.de/extern/LO-Android/Android_LO.html Maybe I can put this into the LO-Wiki, but I'm not sure if that works with regular html-code... best regards Christopher -- www.christopherstark.de | www.neoliberalyse.de | www.klokunst.org | www.projektidee.org -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to design+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

You've presented your thoughts very nicely ... easy to grasp, easy to understand and you've covered lots of cases. That makes it also easy for me to ask further questions - may I? :-) Thanks (and thanks to Vitorio for the nice feedback). Sure. My main question is what kind of Android device you had in mind when creating the images - a smartphone (small screen), or tablet (medium size screen)? To me, it is a bit hard to guess. Mainly regular smartphones (such as the Samsung Galaxy S with 10,16 cm/4 display). I think it would make sense for a mobile Libreoffice to start with the biggest android-segment which has the most users. On the other hand one can ask the question if users would use a complete office suite like this on their phones. I don't really know. I would if I had a document I had to edit while no desktop computer would be around. This libreoffice would probably become the main/most installed office-app running on a very important operating system of the next years (strategically maybe /the/ most important) . My next question is what Android version you've designed for ... assuming that you've picked on recent version (its always so hard to predict how Android 2013 will look and behave like). Each of the versions do have different preferred UI elements like the Action Bar incl. the Overflow Menu and stuff. Or, also valid, do you propose to create a UI from scratch? I'm not a programmer just an open-source enthusiast and Android user. Are the UI elements really that far apart between the android versions? How do other app-projects deal with this? Would it be so complicated to design individual UI elements? For me as non-computer scientist designing these UI elements seems simple. Last question - I've noticed that you've preserved all functionality (again: assumption on my side). Is that correct? Do you think some functionality should be hidden / removed for Tablets/Smartphones? I included all functions my user type would probably need (except for maybe table of contents and chapter numbering). But many aspects I included are very general - such as menu bars, choosing fonts and styles scrolling within a document and so on. I'm not sure if functions should be hidden. I think no - because users who only need a document *reader* would simply use apps like the 'OpenOffice Document Reader'. Maybe I can put this into the LO-Wiki, but I'm not sure if that works with regular html-code... Well, regular html-code can be embedded, but then you (or we) loose some of the nice editing capabilities. Does anyone know if HTML can easily converted to WikiMedia source?
