Disable navigation drawer

[Xiao Sun]

Navigation drawer should be disabled in during review, it interferes with gestures and with white board.

[Tim Rae]

I guess we could disable opening it via swipe gesture when whiteboard or right swipe gesture is enabled... Users should still be able to open it by pressing the app icon.

I use the phone one handed using left hand with gestures, being constantly initiating the drawer swiping up and down, but not just from left or right. Just imaging holding your phone with your left hand, when you swipe up and down using your thumb, the swipe in a curved motion from the left edge of your phone to the centre bottom. Basically, the whole thumb, including that piece of thumb crotch skin can initiate the drawer. 

Also, both drawer and app icon also prone to accidental presses during Multiple Windows Mode.

I have similar problems. Sometimes It's really annoying. I can't understated the need of this drawer, even settings doesn't apply immediately in learning mode.

Actually, navigation drawer should be disable in review. The currently way violates the app design language. 

Look at Youtube app, Play Store app, Gmail app, Engadget app, is designed. 

Navigation drawer should only be active in the first page, ie the deck list page for AD, and the place where the current AD icon is should function as back button and not as drawer button. The current sequence makes no logical sense.

You can, and I have, looked at stats from within a review. That's useful to me. I see no reason to not leave the nav drawer there for those users who don't have other settings that make it a nuisance.

It might be more convenient to access stat, but does not change the fact that navigation drawer is in the wrong place. 

If you really like stats (don't know why you couldn't wait until the end of the review to access stat), make put stat in the menu button or in the action bar. But navigation drawer needs to go.

[Xiao Sun]

While on that topic, I thought it would make more sense to take stats and browser out of the drawer and put them into the decks menu, since these are deck related and then limit the drawer to only the main deck list.

The layout of the navigation drawer was already discussed in detail on here and on github during alpha phase, so your input is a bit too late.

The navigation drawer is definitely not limited to the first screen in Android apps... We could completely disable the navigation drawer while reviewing if others also find it distracting / annoying. Personally I like being able to quickly switch back and forwards between the browser and the reviewer, as I have example sentences in most of my cards, which often contain words that I don't understand. So I'll switch to the browser, find the new word in my db, enable it, then switch back to reviewer.

I sometimes struggle to like the new drawer layout. I am probably too used to the old version.

But I really agree that it becomes irritating when drawing in the reviewer. Still the button on the upper left should still point to the drawer in my opinion. It is after all the method to navigate an android app and there are several cases where such a navigation wish of a user could be probable and should not always be leading back to StudyOptions or the deck list.

On the topic of navigation drawer:
In my recent tests of my own stuff I noticed that the initial state of the drawer icon, which moves left if you open the drawer and moves back right if you close it, is not correct at start. That is only in the alpha in the stable version all is right.

The icon is initial as it would be if the drawer is opened but of course at the start it isn't opened.
I hope that was understandable...

We can reconsider the current layout in a few months maybe

[Charles J. Daniels]

blech, I'm so happy I don't get that always popping up issue, due to how I use anki-droid

I would way prioritize that, as those types of issues make an app feel like a nightmare. Windows now does it to me in Win7 when I mouse towards the taskbar -- just getting close and the taskbar buttons popup previews that then get in the way -- murder!!

In a few months?? I was hoping it would be gone in 2.3. 

[Charles J. Daniels]

I'm putting this on my high priority list. If anyone has anything specific they want out of this change -- speak up. My current plan is to disable swipe open of the nav drawer during review for all users in all circumstances, since I believe anyone who tries to swipe it open and gets no results will think themself to tap the nav drawer button, where the poor users who get too many extraneous openings have no recourse and it kills use comfort.

Alright, I posted a pull request: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/pull/460

[Charles J. Daniels]

Ok, this code is in 2.3alpha10 -- if you have any of the following enabled, the navdrawer won't open through swipe:

1) whiteboard enabled ~and~ showing

2) any of the following gestures enabled:

     a) right swipe

     b) up swipe

     c) down swipe

[Xiao Sun]

Nice! Thanks. Since I always have gestures on, I will not have this issue again.

Looks like this problem is back, at least in part.

I added an issue: https://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=2323

[Tim Rae]

Ah yeah it looks like I broke this during my refactoring, I will fix it soon.
