Designing a fitness app for Android
After revamping the Strands Fitness app for iPhone, I guided the conversion of the look to Android. The first thing we did is replace the rounded buttons for lists and squares. All graphics had to be recreated and icons came in at least three sizes (because there were three target resolutions). Had a bought with 9-patch images, so there were some rough spots.
Working in Android can be really weird since there are so many versions. Some use the older 3D leaning-towards-you icon style and others – the more current versions – are flatter, tamer. Impossible to test everywhere, so it seemed wise to stick to as much stock UI as possible.
