1122511 - Use Bottom Sheets for Firefox Sync Services

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Theme and Visual Design, enhancement)

Description

Attachment: Firefox - Add to - Material.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150115170048

Steps to reproduce:

Make the panel full width on phones and display sync devices inline. The design language was very much lifted from the Google+ share panel. It takes what we currently have and makes it feel more in line with other proposed Lollipop enhancements.

It should be noted, these are just placeholder icons. I expect the UX team would be able to provide polished assets.

By the way, thanks for being on top of Android L design conventions, Paul! :) It's very helpful (even if we don't quite have the developer power to implement all of these features just yet).

Thanks Michael. Building great things requires patience and we all want Fennec to be the greatest browser available for Android. I believe that we really nailed it for Holo and hope we can do so for Material, even if it takes time.

I see we're now using the generic Firefox Share icon for Sync. Any chance we can actually use this opportunity to give Firefox Sync a real and unique icon? It would be a huge bonus if we could also use it for bug 783901 where we currently just display a white circle. It's worth noting that you can send links to sync from other applications, which is currently confusing as it's labelled "Add to Firefox/Nightly" which contextually speaking would suggest you're opening it with Nightly, And with this renewed push of the Reading List, Reading list should probably get it's own share intent anyway. I know rnewman has mentioned share dialog spam before, but I believe it's a far better solution than the convoluted one we currently have.
