1185002 - Replace HomePagerTabStrip titles in First Run Pane

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: Awesomescreen, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

In bug 1073053 we are going to replace the HomePagerTabStrip with the tab strip layout we are using on tablets, aka TabMenuStripLayout. Our first run pane is the last piece using HomePagerTabStrip. Let's unify the look & feel of our tabs and use TabMenuStripLayout here too. Or maybe even something else because right now this screen just has one tab.

Exposing decor interface.

Comment 3

[Chenxia Liu [:liuche]]

Just hacking around in here, so some WIP commits - this looks like some refactoring is in order because HomePager holds a lot of interfaces that TabMenuStrip uses, but if we want to uplift this with 44, the refactor should be done after. I'll get this working and then sort out if/how we want to refactor in this bug.

Comment 4

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

Yeah, I remember looking into this when I filed the bug and stopped when I saw all these interfaces being needed. In the long term it would be nice to replace all this with TabLayout from the Android design library (bug 1189306).

Antlam, what color would you like the active/inactive titles to be? In your mock they look like they are different sp, but that's not how the homepager titlebar works.

This is almost done - I just need to set the colors, and figure out a way to update the orange highlight width during onConfigurationChange.

You're right. I had used different font weights. Same size, but Light for inactive, and Regular for active.

If not possible, we could just stick with white for active and the guideline 70% opacity for inactive. Does that work?

Actually, it's about time I ask for feedback here :P Making a lot of these interfaces static works just fine, but maybe the right thing is to just move them somewhere shared.

Again, not the best thing to hard code this, but HomePager does something similar.

I still need to special case the single title, so the bar is calculated to be the width of the title + margin, instead of filling the whole width of the screen.

Attachment: Screenshot: Two panels with colored titles

Hey Anthony, since we're basically using the HomePager code, I'm keeping this as setting colors (instead of opacity), so that they're consistent. This uses disabled_grey for the disabled state.

Alright then, looks OK to me!

Comment 14

[Anthony Lam (:antlam) Find me, @antlam on Slack!]

Actually, we currently have a "disabled" color for this label. Let's just stick to the current color.

Yeah, I think moving them is a good idea. With TabMenuStrip being the only class implementing this Decor interface and probably no other class ever going to do that, I wonder if we should just get rid of it altogether and just use TabMenuStrip references? Having an interface is maybe a bit over-engineered here. What do you think?

Comment 16

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

FYI: I just filed bug 1210371 for switching to TabLayout (Android Design Library) eventually. I used it once and it was dead simple - almost no additional code needed.

Btw. "public" should be enough. Interfaces are always static.

I guess we could move this to TabMenuStrip now that this is the only class handling "titles"?

With TabMenuStripLayout being a LinearLayout: Should we set layout_width to match_parent instead?

Comment 18

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

You just asked for feedback but I'd actually r+ all this so far. Cleaning up the interface etc. would be nice though. But this could be deferred to bug 1210371 too. Overall I'm happy that we can remove HomePagerTabStrip and everything related soon. :)

Good call - I actually just changed this to 0dp because the weight should handle the measurements, and then we save a measurement step. For some reason I remembered it not working before, but whatever.

What's the advantage of using the weight? Shouldn't match_parent be even more efficient? We always have just one item horizontally, don't we?

Seems to be reasonable. But why was it needed?

Ah okay, I see the confusion. This layout is actually not the strip itself, but rather the TextView that gets added for each strip. TabMenuStripLayout is actually a LinearLayout that just adds TextViews added to it. So this file should actually be named tab_menu_item. Since we want to the text views to resize as they're added, we need the layout_weight. (I tried it with match_parent, and what happens is that each title becomes the full width of the bar.)

Ahhh! I realize I lost my comment that I meant to post about this.

During some debugging, I realized that the code to "draw the selection bar when views are loaded" is actually not running when it is expected to (after the layout is updated). [1] This isn't running at all when you load a single page.

What's actually selecting the titles is the strip.setBounds in onPageScrolled [2], which is called when adding new pages to the pager.

Do you have suggestions on what listener should actually be used instead of onGlobalLayoutListener? Or is that being used incorrectly? I'll look at this some more too.
