[WikimediaMobile] Search icon in Android app

2014-08-29 Thread Dmitry Brant
Hi Designers, Is there any reason we shouldn't put a search icon next to the search text box in the app? (see image) The reason I ask is: - We've received more than one complaint on OTRS saying that the Search field is not discoverable (because it doesn't look like a normal text box). - Every

The fact that you don't see the benefits of the native app over the mobile website is simply an indication that we still have a lot of work to do with the apps, which we are excited to do. But, is it a waste of effort to bring a truly integrated, seamless Wikipedia experience to our users' mobile

[WikimediaMobile] opensearch vs. prefixsearch

2014-08-11 Thread Dmitry Brant
I was just looking at the Mobile Web search functionality, and I noticed that the drop-down list of search results in Mobile Web is different from the list in our native apps for the same search term. It looks like Mobile Web uses prefixsearch, whereas the apps are using opensearch. I'm curious

That's exactly how I'm implementing it (Spannable strings in the native EditText view). It's pretty simple and fast to do it this way; and I would think that any amount of syntax highlighting is better than none? This might serve well until we get around to a more complete VE for mobile. On
