| Summary | 0011683: Now Playing Art view context menu is missing some commands but has no room | ||||
| Description | As suggested by review feedback, the Now Playing Art view is missing a couple of commands: Play Last, Delete. These weren't initially included in MMA because the list of contextual command icons would be too large to fit in the Now Playing Art view's context command list, however, based on user feedback, these commands are both are quite useful for the usecase of a user playing content and: a) wanting to replay a track that he likes b) wanting to delete a track that he dislikes Note: for deletion of a track to work as a user would expect, MMA would have to prompt the user whether the track should be deleted from Playlists on the device (so that it isn't resynced on future auto-sync operations). In addition, the Now Playing Art view needs room for other yet to be implemented, but also important contextual commands such as Find More from same, and Play Next. In order to meet these needs, we need to implement a better solution for Global vs Contextual commands in the NP view. Currently, contextual and global commands appear together in the Action Bar, however, that results in an overloaded menu. A simple solution would be to leave Global commands in the command bar, but move commands specific to the playing track (e.g. [Play next],(Play last),Add to playlist,[Find more from...] Artist / Album / Genre / etc.,(Delete),Set as...,Share with...,Properties) elsewhere. Possible alternatives: a) Add a context menu (three vertical dots) to the play bar. This is probably the cleanest approach atm, except that it requires a change to the Now Playing AA view in landscape mode since the Player doesn't have any extra space for the context menu (the right spot is occupied by the 'Shuffle' icon. To resolve that, the Shuffle/Continuous buttons can be placed _above_ the player (just like in Portrait mode). See attached. b) Add a context menu to the AA image. When the currently playing track is shown as a card, contextual options should appear on the card. Sample UI attached. | ||||
