Mobile UI #37
Comments
Long term, I do plan to have a mobile interface as well as regular. Initially, it is a matter of creating a mobile theme. However, the bigger issue then becomes input. Without a virtual keyboard or some interface that provides input abilities, there would be no means to interact with the mobile theme/UI. I need to figure out the input situation before working on a mobile theme. Enlightenment has a virtual keyboard module, but one does not exist in EFL. I would need to code a virtual keyboard into Entrance, or come up with some alternative, like the drag pattern to unlock on Android. Not sure people want to be entering in a password on a mobile device. At best maybe a numerical pin, but more than likely, some sort of pattern. I will see about experimenting a bit with some mockups and solutions time permitting. Although, I do have a pressing issue with newer EFL I need to fix first. |
Ok, I was going to write a virtual keyboard daemon using EFL. Once I've got that written, I'll tell you so you can use that. It's going to be called through IPC. |
Awesome, thanks for doing that! I look forward to seeing the results. |
@RossComputerGuy Any update on that daemon? |
I'm adding Entrance to an operating system I'm building and I'm wanting it to run on both desktop and mobile phones (PinePhone, Librem 5, etc.). There's no mobile interface and I think if one could be implemented then that'll help a lot, so things like pin entry or like a more minimal UI that fits the resolution that phones have.
