Moving from iPhone to Android

•

5 likes•1,808 views

As Android gains ground, iOS may not be enough for some brands. And with limited budgets and development constraints, sometimes you can't give your app the full "Android Treatment" it should deserve. I've put together a mini guide to go over some common ways to get your iOS app over to Android, while keeping it consistent (mostly) with today's Android patterns.

Moving from iPhone to Android
Quick lesson on common design changes when moving to Android

This is just a quick, high-level primer to help you have a conversation
around moving your app to Android.

Some of the main differences...

The navigation goes away, and is “hidden” in a standard Android menu

The “back button” is also in the same menu area

Different ways for adapting to Android

Menu Only

Totally Custom

Keep everything the same

Move to the top

Full Android

Moving to Android 4.0...

Menu Only
Where the app basically
stays the same, but
moves navigation
functionally to the Android
menu bar.

Totally Custom
Where the design patterns
are not common to iOS or
Android, and stay the
same cross-platform.

Keep everything the same
Speciﬁcally break with
Android patterns to keep
the app the same as the
iOS app.

Move to the top
Where the app basically
stays the same, but the iOS
menu bar is moved to the top
of the Android app, while
most other options stay
within the Android menu bar.

Full Android
Considerations were
made to use the Android
app patterns to their
fullest - sometimes very
foreign to a iOS customer.

Are you ready for the next ten years? Wireframes and prototypes may not be enough. Jeremy will take you on a tour of what Design problems of the future look like, from designing for sensors to walls of screens. With the advent of sensor-based technology, we are designing more for gestures and voice commands. How do we interact in space without tactile feedback? How do we design for universal gestures?What does a future full of screens and software look like? When everything is an interface, and hardware disappears - and what are the tools and methods to tackle this design problems?

Designing for Sensors  & the Future of Experiences

Mantras of startups: "fail fast", "move fast and break things", "keep shipping" - these are all great slogans, but unknown to many - these are really all about learning. It's about getting things in front of your customers early, and often. Watching - and learning. Finding what ideas were not quite as brilliant as you once thought - and finding this out as fast and cheap as possible. How are modern product teams making this happen? Where does User Experience and customer research fit in this model? Taking from Agile, Lean, and User Centered Design - this talk will go over the build-measure-learn process, and how you can start to shape your organization to move fast, without leaving your customers behind. This talk was given at Big Design 2013 #bigd13

Failing Fast & Learning Along the Way - Big Design 2013

Jeremy Johnson

While using Android over the past couple of weeks i’ve noticed some things when comparing my top apps to iOS. Both iOS and Android, in different cases, choose different UI elements to do different things. I wanted to catalog some of them here. Overall I’d say that mainstream Android apps have improved over time, and in many cases (Spotify, Evernote, NPR, and Amazon) I liked the Android versions better. Also with design trends moving to blocky designs and flat colors (like Windows 8) - Android looks more modern in a side-by-side comparison to its iOS counterpart. If anything this shows that there are very few standard patterns that are used 100% of the time on each OS, but there is risk of confusion from someone expecting one thing - like they have an iPad tablet, but an Android phone - and getting different results when switching between devices.

I’m sure many of you spend a good amount of time evangelizing what it is that you do, and the value it adds. Over the past 15 years I’ve introduced User Experience to everyone from CEOs to developers — using storytelling, metrics, and case studies you can prove without a doubt the value that you bring. In this talk I’ll explain what metrics to track, how to position your work, and stories where User Experience directly effected the bottom line.

While design is becoming ever more important in the business world, we’re at a crossroads where if we can't connect customer understanding to actionable themes or business results we’re going to lose our seat at the table. Customer Experience professionals need to become masters at blending customer, business, and technology to give teams a clear path ahead. Key Takeaways 1. CX Pros need to get really good at understanding design, business AND technology 2. CX Pros need to get good at connecting customer insights to tangible features and products 3.

There are key things that will give you a much better chance at success.

The Mobile Question @ Big Design 2010

Jeremy Johnson

Earlier this month I gave a presentation at the 2010 IA Summit in Phoenix, AZ on Mobile Strategy. I'm happy to say it was well attended, and everyone had lots of good questions. In the presentation I went over a method to determine where you should spend your time "going mobile". For some it's an app, others it's a site - where others should be focusing on Blackberry vs an iPhone (or vice-versa). Hopefully I made everything a little less confusing, and gave everyone the information needed to make an informed roadmap to move forward.

Our topic was upcoming trends in Design and technology. This is actually the fifth time I've presented a presentation like this one, starting back in 2005. While some trends are still developing, there are some new and interesting things that will shape the years to come.
