This is an old revision of the document!
Migrating 2.3 applications like SmartDirt and SmartGrade require a different interface and the example below attempt to solve the issues of migration and provide an interface pattern for future products.
SmartDirt 4.0 Migration screenshots
The example below use more optimized layouts for portrait and landscape than 2.3 versions. These are for the phone (Galaxy III). Tablets may require different layouts as well.
Changed Elements
- Action Bar - The Action Bar means we no longer have room for the file name and mode. I've moved those items to just below the top info panel in place of the progress notifier. When the progress notifier is being updated it can replace the file name temporarily.
- Action Bar icons - Typically there are at least two menu option icons available on all platforms regardless of orientation. I've prioritized 3D and measure in normal mode and Snap and Report in Measure mode.
- 4.0 menus - Menus are simplified in 4.0 since most don't show icons.
- Single line landscape info bar - Landscape has always suffered from a lack of vertical screen space. For 4.0 we'll go to single height on the top and bottom info bars to maximize that space.
