I put this controls there because it's not so often used functions and there is a necessity to conserve the space. I saw this approach in one version of Android stock player.
Unfortunately, there isn't so much space on many phones.
I made to some testing to determine how it is displayd on different phones. Some phones offers sufficient amount of space but some phones are facing the opposite problem (see attached pictures).
According to current state (http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/screens.html):
- 66.3% - WVGA800
- 18.5% - HVGA
- 1.7% - QVGA
I suggest to add this thinks to make it more comfortable:
1. Design new more compact layout for small screens - HVGA and QVGA
2. Slightly modify layout on screens where current layout approximately fits fine (WQVGA400 and WVGA800):
- hide the bars after some short period of time. They are hiding now on click only.
- when seekbar is hidden, show under the album art small thin progress bar, which is not seekable but shows the progress.
3. Use extra space for placing rating and seekbar on large phones
And I can also send this images to Matej to let him think about different layouts for the problematic resolutions. |

Ok, sounds good to me. |

I implemented auto hiding and seekbar for WQVGA400 and WVGA800 and sended request to Matej. |

I implemented a horizontal layout with new working album art widget.
Horizontal view is still not finished. Still not able to create a widget with required behaviour. |

Implemented case 1 and 2 |

Implemented last state when seekbar is displayed under the album art when there is enough space for it. |
