I finally found a little time to do some Android coding. The result is a new sign-in flow for Yoke:
Here I’m trying to make it as simple as possible for users to establish an identity with an application. The activity is part of a generic Android library I’ve developed that matches an app’s look using style declarations to override the default appearance.
There’s also a nice technique in use here: The explanatory text is in a ScrollView. To bottom align it when the text doesn’t fill the view I combine the attribute android:fillViewport with a vertical LinearLayout (to hold the text) that contains a trivial zero-height View of weight 1. The result is that, when the text is smaller than the ScrollView, the trivial View soaks-up all of the empty space, pushing the text downwards, and when the text is larger than the ScrollView, the trivial View get squeezed to nothing.
The Google favicon is a placeholder — does anyone know of an approved icon I can use?
