Use bottom navigation bar #11108
Comments
Not sure about other people's opinion, but mine is a hard no. Android and iOS have different UI/UX conventions, this would just make the Android UX worse than it currently is. Not to mention the insane amount of work this would take for negligible benefit. I'm open to UI changes and improvements (we recently did #11008 for example), but just "make it look like iOS" is a not a good goal. Anecdotically, I've heard time and time again during my time as an Android dev, people asking for Android apps to look like an iOS app, under the guise of "UX parity" or similar. But strangely, nobody ever asks the iOS devs to make their apps look like Android ones... |
Yes, I agree with you @AlvaroBrey. In my option the only thing that i like about the IOS client is that it has bottom file access menu on the bottom and the only reason why i even brought it up was that i was testing out the Synology drive and Synology photos for someone and they where exactly the same for both ios and android so i thought maybe this would be something that NC wants to do in the future as well. I appreciate the work that was done on #11008 i really like it. |
Discussing specific changes, like having a bottom bar (like Google Drive) is something we can really think of. |
Drawer and bottom bar is possible, see Google Drive but to be discussed if we want that, of course always "native" from a look&feel, thus needs to be Material 3. The Drawer menu like iOS, definitely a no for the native look and feel argument and with that, this is already present, given the bottom sheets are also already addressed the only discussion is if we want to add a bottom bar which has been discussed some years ago and decided not to do but can of course be revised. So looking forward to the feedback from @jancborchardt and @nimishavijay |
Agree with @AndyScherzinger's assessment. If we look at it high-level, Android and iOS app patterns are all quite similar these days, and of course we have to follow Material Design on Android. I wouldn't mind a bottom bar in the Android app like in iOS – it allows people to more quickly reach the most common places of the app. |
I want to thank everyone for their feedback. I also want to apologies if I came out like the Android app designed is not good. I love the the designed of the Android app. I should of created the issue stating add menu bottom at the bottom similar to IOS platform or google drive etc. For reference Navigation bar in Material Design 3 |
I also don't disagree with the bottom bar, but the amount of work it would take it's indeterminate. I'll rename this issue and use it to keep track of the bottom bar only. |
Thanks everyone, so yeah revised decision would now be to implement a navigation bar while this is currently not a priority, so if anybody especially from community is up for it - we are happy to help and side-wing contributors. |
Hi Everyone. I wanted to see what the devs think about changing the Nextcloud Android UI to match the IOS Nextcloud UI. I'm sure this is a lot of work and im sure this will take some time but it sure would be nice to have a cross platform experience for all the users & admins
