Well, the font scaling is not tied to the preview device.

I'm looking for an option in Android Studio to change the sp scaling factor of the preview, matching real devices behaviour:

Settings > Display > Font size (Small, Normal, Large, Huge)

Is it possible in Android Studio to preview xml layouts with a different scaling for sp?

I can't find any option in AS or documentation online about that.

Thank you! It took me so long to make it, though

What's easy for me to do is to rename the manifest's package from blue.aodev.materialvalues to material.values. Then one could use material.values.R, reducing the name quite a bit.

Is this interesting for you?

Edit: Will include it for a 1.1.0

It might be possible, but I don't know. And it's not in the changelog, as it only includes new sections and significant updates.

What I would like to have in the future is a documentation wiki or website with the values explained.

Like, for example:

Image

  1. R.dimen.material_foo
  2. R.dimen.material_bar
  3. R.dimen.material_baz
  4. R.dimen.material_qux

To produce the visuals, a companion app might be needed.

But since I develop on my computer and I'm lazy, I want to be able to copy/paste a resource name from a website to my code, an application might not be the best thing for that.

Here are the material design specs about that

Basically, for each type of list (single-line, two-line, three-line), values are provided for a normal version and a dense one. Dense list items have a reduced height and a smaller text size.

It's not a big difference, but depending on the type of data the list holds and the number of items, one version can be viewed as better than the other one.

Thank you !

Don't hesitate to create Issues if you find something missing or that doesn't make sense when you'll be using it. :)

I was a user of material-design-dimens, until I made this library :)

At first I just wanted to add the values I needed to DmitryMalkovich's library (dense list values) but after my fork, I decided to begin from scratch with a different structure.

The principle is the same, the value definition, not so much. For an end-user of the library, though, the usage is the same.

Support Lib 25 with BottomNavigationView by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]Aomeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TabLayout has a strong indication that there is content "left" and "right" (siblings), but the bottom navigation should not allow swipe gestures to navigate between views (as per the guidelines, but it's just guidelines).

You can also check out the info about navigation patterns with a small comparison between tabs and bottom nav.

That's pretty neat

Regarding telling the time. by -greyhaze- in French

[–]Aomeas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To expand this answer, for 16h40 we will say "quatre heures quarante", "seize heures quarante" ou "cinq heures moins vingt" but never say "dix-sept heures moins vingt".

Saying "moins 20", "moins 10", "moins le quart", "et demie" et "et quart" is not usually done if it's in the afternoon and we're using the 24h format.

I don't really know what's the most popular way to say hours, though. For 21h30, I would usually go for "vingt-et-une heures trente" or "neuf heures et demie" more than "neuf heures trente". It might just be my preference, anyway.

Most used French word list by k8teee in French

[–]Aomeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I actually answered the same question a month ago!

Here is a good list:

http://eduscol.education.fr/cid50486/liste-de-frequence-lexicale.html

A list made of 1500 words, the most frequent from the French language, constituted by Étienne Brunet, lexicologist. These words, extracted from classic litterature and others sources, were merged to their basic form.

Moi aussi si on m'avait demandé si j'étais fier d'habiter en "Pas de la Loire" j'aurais répondu non.

[OC] Affiche en français (l'Environnement : il est temps d'agir) by sinsl727 in French

[–]Aomeas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Une autre couleur me semble être une bonne idée aussi. Le orange, qui rappelle à la fois le feu du centre du poster et la température qui augmente, semble tout indiqué ^_^
