| Summary | 0009253: Now Playing Album Art view: add gestures support | ||||
| Description | The Now Playing Album Art view, along with the MediaMonkey widget should have support for gestures so that users can easily switch tracks without having to carefully look at their device. Swipe right to left: next track Swipe left to right: previous track | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Fixed in build | 29 | ||||

I guess that this depends on user's preferences. When discussed in the past, one idea was to implement this only when the phone is docked in a car (which can be detected in supported HW), otherwise I'd prefer another actions to be provided by these gestures, e.g. views change as described in 0008777. Decreasing priority to handle somehow later. |
|
|
Perhaps a good approach would be that: Swipes in upper 2/3 of the screen: switch views Swipes in the lower 1/3 of the screen (near the player control): controls playback |
|
|
Ok, it could sound good, if we make it more specific. E.g. could it be that swipes in the Artwork area would change views, while swipes over the text area (Artist, Album, Title) would control playback. Was this your original idea? |
|
|
Yes--sounds good. |
|
|
The Next and Prev gestures are resolved. The gestures over Artwork are being solved as a part of 0009420. Note that the gesture for showing NP list was removed, since it doesn't seem to be very consistent with the UI. We can review this decision later. |

Tested build 24. The functionality works fine when the user swipes the track metadata, but it doesn't meet the intended usecase, since the goal is for the swipe to function even if the swipe is imprecise (e.g. if the user isn't looking at their device while driving). i.e. it should work anywhere below the seek bar: - currently a swipe from edge to edge has no effect - currently an edge to edge swipe in the area of the player controls has no effect |
|

Fixed in build 29. - I moved Shuffle and Repeat buttons to be hideable as Rating control (as discussed offline). This way there's more space for info text and it's much easier to swipe. - Implementation for the bottom playback controls would require significant internal design changes and so in case you still find it hard to swipe, please reopen with lower priority. - Also fixed few UI issues of the NP view. |
|
|
It's better in build 29 but there are still 2 issues: 1) Is it possible that all space below the seekbar (and up to the miniplayer) can be used for this function? Currently only the space below the metadata works. 2) It still fails for edge to edge swipes (i.e. the swipe must begin e.g. 1/5 from the screen edge) It's a small tweak, but I think it would be worth making this change so that it works consistently. |
|
|
1) Setting High priority, to be resolved sometimes... 2) Don't see any reason for this, works fine for me on all devices and it really should - the controls are going as far as edges on both sides. Which device and OS version. |

Resolving. We can track remaining items in a new bug. |

Re-verified 48 and opened new issue to track remaining item. |
