The Glide team continues to provide wonderful surprise updates to the platform as in the new Collapse / Expand Sidebar button that appears at the top right of an app’s left layout nav-bar. It certainly provides more visual real-estate to the app screen by compacting the navigation to just icons (without text labels). Nice UX touch!
Unfortunately, on landscape (horizontally) oriented mobile phones (the larger ones) it now appears to prevent a user from being able to scroll down to see the additional menu tabs below the sidebar divider line. Expanded or collapsed when holding the phone in landscape yields the inability to get to the rest of the app. Hopefully this is a simple fix without the forced need to now turn the phone back in portrait orientation.
NOTE: The same issue applies to the new “More” drop-down for top positioned navigation menus on mobile phones (and mini tablets) when in landscape mode. You simply cannot scroll the navigation list on the smaller mobile screens.
@NoCodeAndy Andy, depending on the size of the mobile phone a viewer is using, sometimes the app navigation will revert to top orientation even if the app is set as left orientation. That’s NOT a big issue but what is an issue is when that happens… the new Dropdown More menu IS NOT scrollable. This causes the rest of the app’s navigation tabs to NOT be accessible.
The left side collapsible scrolling issue was fixed but the top oriented “More” dropdown menu scrolling issue is still prevalent on mobile phones.
iPhone screen shot of the issue…Can’t scroll the More nav vertically.
Probably should force top navigation orientation to be left nav orientation on ALL mobile phones in landscape mode (just like Glide does when holding phones in portrait mode).
