Subsurface-mobile for Android -845

[Dirk Hohndel]

Hi there.

845 should address the issues that were mentioned

- I think I finally figured out the hang with incorrect credentials
- I FINALLY paid enough attention to realize why the 'Save' after an edit accessed the network - that should be fixed now
- the redundant context menus are gone. Android users are comfortable using the back button to go up / back a level and to cancel an operation

So I think this is the UI direction I'm leaning towards. Small title bar with no menus / buttons. Action button when there's an action. Handle to open global menu / drawer (but swipe from the side works as well). Right now we have no screen that has a context menu.

There certainly is room for fine-tuning (I just noticed that the icon / text in the title bar aren't vertically centered - also the drawer handle maybe isn't the final design, yet - this is just my quick hack to give Thomas and Marco an idea of what I'm thinking). But unless I hear strong and well reasoned feedback from Henrik or some of the others who have been rather outspoken on wanting the more Android typical menu / action buttons in the top bar, I think that's where we'll go.

I realize that I'm going back and forth on this. Guilty as charged. This is hard. But I spent almost an hour with a 4" phone, a 5.7" phone, a 7" tablet and a 10" tablet and I think I'm happy with what we have.

Assuming we can get reasonable consensus (or only mostly unconvincing whining), I'll do a second beta based on this UI idea (after Marco helps me with the fine tuning mentioned above).

Thoughts? Comments?
