Okay. I get you. Thanks man

Great ui.

Just something tho. Android UI guidelines says not more than 6 tabs or so

What tool do you normally use to convert the artboard design to XML layout or HTML and CSS .

O yeah, there is a way to make your tabs scroll - i meant those icons. Then you can also do the swiping navigation stuffs.

Let us assume you display 20 tabs, and the device can only show 4 due to screen size. You can use your hand to swipe to display the hidden tabs.
I have done this before, I just cant remember the correct name of the controls - this is what happens when you use to many technologies.

You can also make responsive layouts in android based on screen sizes or even orientation of device. So forget the guidelines, they are for NOOBS.

But then you should not flout the guidelines unless you really have to. But all this same, this is a great design - if you have a better one, please show us instead of running your mouth recursively anyone spewing JARGBAJANTIS.

Mehn, there is something I use to do in Fireworks CS5 then, slicing and exporting out. But in the end, I usually just do it the manual way - because as far as I am concerned, that is the best way.
I personally prefer to use code and styles to replace images when possible (on both web and android). You might not know it, but if you use a lot of images on your android layout - it will cause your application to crash on some devices with low memories - or a device with high memory with lots of background apps running.
I experienced this before when I did a splashscreen carrying a high-quality image, thank God for remote debugging - I use ACRA reporting - it will send me the debug console by email (traces and all that) if any of my android application crashes on a device with internet - with the full report log, i can diagnose, fix and just upload back to playstore so that whoever experienced the error will no more do so after an upgrade.

I agree that is a lot of tabs. In production, I will prefer the tabs to scroll and the icons be a bit smaller.

In general, there are a number of flaws in the UI that should be fixed if the UI is ever going to brought to life.

The ui guidelines are for the benefit of users not devs. It shows what the average user will expect from your app. If you have a scrolling viewpagger, there is a high chance that a user will not realize that. Also, as Seen from the screenshot , he has more than six.

His UI beats mine 10 to 1. Mine is more of a proof of concept, i am still working on the final. Check my signature.

I usually use JPEG and PNG for images in andriod splash screen and icons. I guess use multiple images instead of material icons .it would optimize your app.

In Android, if you can use vector xml icons for your icons the better for you. That way you can have one icon for every screen resolution.

Nice work bro. You these android app devs are tempting me o. Anyway I am more of a web dev and little of desktop app now. Work neva carry me go android way. NICE DESIGN BRO

Of course you are right, I was just trying to incite an argument jare, the board is too dry, we need more e-fights to make it lively.

By the way, your nairaland client is very lovely too, i appreciate good things.
