Thanks

Post by: Kostya Vasilyev on October 12, 2014, 10:48:27 pm: Sure, I'll give you two reasons:

1 - It seems horribly wrong to do that

2 - The Android Design Guide says that notifications should be combined:

http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html

3 - About your "horrible response, developer".

Do you always expect to get what you want, and shame people when you don't?

In other words, if someone has the audacity to disagree? Has an opinion that differs from yours?

"I'll buy this car if you can put five extra rear view mirrors on the hood, facing forward" -- "No? What kind of response is that, sales manager?"

That sort of thing?

Udo:
Okay, it seems that this option would be nice to have.
But, did you also read this article at Google's "Android developers"?

I read the article now. I understand the design guideline from google. It would be chaos if every single App provides every message as a single message. But if it’s better for me that aqua mail can do this optional, so why not? It’s still a guideline not a law.

But maybe the best way is using the "expanded digest layout” (Android 5.x & 4.4 and lower), containing sender and headline of each single message.

Supported by Android since 4.1, and supported by Aqua two weeks after 4.1 was released at Google I/O that year.

BTW - internally, Android calls it "InboxStyle", but it seems that the design team like fancy names for everything...

What us mere humans know as "that three dots icon", is officially called "the overflow affordance", wow!
