Hey so I notice a fair bit of people are including swipe-down menus for their apps, now I have some ideas about what one could be used for, my question is;
what are all of you guys/gals putting up there in that precious extra real estate?
Hi,
Please have a look at my app "Peg Solitaire!" about the swipe-down menu.
Demo Video ( This is Ad ;-) )
In fact, I would like my app can play on any orientation / direction;
And I don't want get into more complex code to support orientation. ( don't have real device to test, so, don't want to risk for now )
If you look at demo video, my app is kind of being able to play in any orientations.
Because, there is no any text or button to make it looks upside-down / side way ( rotated ).
That's why I choice to put all menu stuff on swipe-down menu.
( even on menu, there is no text at all )
It is kind of cheating way to make it as closer as possible for supporting orientation. :-)
Of course, the stuff to put on swipe-down menu depends on application.
But, from what I heard and saw, I think the "rule" is like:
Put most (always) needed menu stuff on the screen if possible,
put less (occasion / less) needed stuff on swipe-down menu to save real estate.
( of course, if you don't have real estate concern, nethier design looking concern, then I would suggest don't use swipe-down menu at all; Like always, put youself as user, and think what you would like to see / design )
