Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For years I've avoided the slide
transition on Android because I've never used an app on android (in many years) that does slide
transitions that look how NS does. So it looked odd to me to have a weird transition that most android users of native apps have never seen, a bit gimmicky at times. A lot of Android apps use the slideTop
style transition for the new activity/fragment, but the previous activity/fragment does not ALSO get the same slideTop
for its exit transition. In NS, if you specify slideTop
then the new fragment uses it for enter
and the current fragment uses it or exit
transition. The current fragment having that same transition applied is why I've never used the slide
transition personally.
Describe the solution you'd like
-
Introduce a new flag into the
NavigationEntry
(maybe eventransitionAndroid
) that allows the user to DISABLE the current fragment having the exit/reenter transition applied to it.
--- I prefer option 1 since it's not breaking and provides a very nice feature to improve NS Android. -
Open the API up for
navigate
to specify theenter/exit
transitions.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Hacking this in my core-modules with a custom fork 😄.
Additional context
For some context.
Notice in the Settings app, the new
fragment/activity is using a slide
transition to enter. It is also fading
but that's more work involved and outside the scope of this request. Notice how the current
main fragment/activity does not have the same transition applied to it. Which is good on back nav because the previous page is visible to the user and they aren't watching some "reverse" transition.
Here is how NS currently does the slideTop
which has never been pleasing to me personally as I've never seen this on any Android app I use.
I've just hacked core-modules a bit and applied fade
on the current fragment to get this:
Again, not perfect, and I might even prefer disabling the exit
transition of the current
fragment even more so the new one just slides on top instead of 'pushes' it out of the way.
