Bug ID: 64773
Summary: Android: "Network error. Tap to try again." bar is too
persistent
Product: Wikipedia App
Version: Android (alpha)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Search
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

When there's a network error and you try and search, you get a "Network error.
Tap to try again." dropdown which is really useful feedback to let the user
know that their search isn't working because the app can't contact the server.
The bar is too persistent, however. Even when you stop trying to search and
start scrolling down the article, the bar remains there, slightly obscuring you
from reading the top of the page you're on, which includes crucial things like
the title of the article!
Proposed fix to discuss in the planning meetings: having the bar display
constantly, then when you click away from search, leaving it up for n seconds
(for some appropriate n) then dismissing it until you try to search again.
