UI ideas on managing large set of text articles
I need to implement UI where user will be able to easily browse large set of text articles. I consider using TextSwitcher and onTouchEvent method implemented in order 开发者_开发技巧to have UI similar to browsing pictures in gallery. Do you have any ideas?(besides ListView) Would be grateful for any hints.
update: I want to show these articles randomly, so I do not want to let user browse among them.
I think this is not really a UI design problem but more of an application design problem.
On mobile devices, even counting tablets, you have very very small screen real estate.
The statement : "How can I browse large set of xx on a mobile with a 3 inches screen" is antinomical and the answer is : "You shouldn't" :)
Give your user a very powerful search engine, organize your content in a tree of categories so that at the end of a branch or after a search there is no more than 10 to 20 results. You can even go the evil root of : "Sorry your request generated more than 50 results, try to be more specific."
It will give you the following :
- -Great usability
- Your content is now(was) organized and easy to reuse in other projects
- Low bandwith usage (given this is web service based app)
- Lower battery comsumption
- No need to spend three days making your own custom UI component :D
