My 2 cents on the Header Bar (for all applications): Whenever there is a BACK button on the Header Bar then that is all the header bar should be used for - going back to the previous page. You can then expand the area of the Header Bar used to activate this "go back" to include the Header Bar text. For a right handed person using their thumb to reach the BACK button is difficult enough on a 4.5 inch screen and requires a total hand shift to reach on a 5 inch screen - expanding the touch area to "go back" makes this a lot easier.

Pair that with the header going off-screen to leave more screen for the content, you have to pull the header in first (and you need to know that's where the button will be). An example of this behaviour is the calendar app when adding/editing an event. One other example (although that could be improved easily by auto-saving the new note as soon as it's edited) is the Quick Memo app, where when you create a note in the first place you need to tap the ✓ icon, but when you're editing, it's all auto-saved and you need to tap 〈 to go back to the list of notes. I feel like we need to at least come up with clear guidance on what belongs in the header, and where a footer with buttons should be used (we have a way to stick something on top of the keyboard after all¹). http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-1.0/Ubuntu.Components.MainView /#anchorToKeyboard-prop ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-ui-toolkit-plugin 1.1.1364+15.04.20141209-0ubuntu2 Uname: Linux 3.4.67 armv7l ApportVersion: 2.15-0ubuntu3 Architecture: armhf Date: Tue Jan 6 17:03:54 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-12-17 (20 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) - armhf (20141217-020204) SourcePackage: ubuntu-ui-toolkit UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/quick-memo/+bug/1408015/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
