Another one was complaining about people putting labels on the back button. Heaven forbid that you should actually inform your users as to what is going to happen when they press a button who's action depends on context.
I can understand that they don't want people simply copying the interface from another platform, but complaining when people steal ideas from another platform when your own platform is deficient? That's just stupid.
- Kudos 15y agoThere's a built in back button in Android, sticking another one on the interface looks completely wrong. It is invariably cheap iOS ports or webkit wrappers tuned for iOS that do this.
- ge0rg 15y agoAs the guidelines outline, the (physical) Back button has a different meaning from the Up button in the top left corner of your app.
- myko 15y agoThe platform isn't deficient. Android users are familiar with the way the ActionBar works - any design that explicitly labels their back button is deficient and wasteful (on Android).
