2015Android Design Concept

These design concepts are summarized and developed by Android user interface designers in order to preserve the best user experience for the app. When you put your own ideas and design ideas into practice, consider these design ideas, not commercial purposes.

make me feel good in a surprising way

A nice look, a fixed animation, or a sound effect is a great experience. These subtle effects do not cause any disruption to the user and can feel like a powerful force in the hand-held device.

Real object effects are better than buttons and menus

Allows users to touch and manipulate objects directly on the app. It reduces the effort required by users to perform a task, which makes them more fulfilling.

Support Customization

People like to add some personalized settings so that they feel that things are their own and that everything is in control. Provides a reasonable and aesthetically pleasing default setting, but also provides interesting and selectable other settings without impacting system performance.

Understanding Users

Save the user's input settings and other information in an easy-to-reach place, so that users can use the app more easily next time, instead of letting them repeat the same action over and over again.

Keep it simple

Use simple words and short statements. When sentences are long, people are more inclined to glance at them.

The picture is more flexible than the sentence

If you want to use images to express your emotions, pictures are more likely to attract people's attention and be more effective.

Give users the leeway to return

The app can perform the best operation without asking the user. Too many choices and decisions can make people feel unhappy. Once the app is not doing what the user wants, it allows the user to go back to the previous step.

Show only the required

People suddenly face too much information and feel depressed. Divide tasks and information into small, easy-to-identify modules. Hides some of the relatively minor options and directs the user to the next steps.

I want to know where I am at any time.

Give the user confidence to let them know which page they are on. Use some transitions on the screen to make your application features easy to distinguish. The task provides some feedback when it is executed.

Never lose my message.

Save the information that the user has spent a lot of time creating, allowing the user to regain access to the information somewhere on the phone. Remember some settings, clicks, or created data from a user on a phone, tablet, or computer. This information is most likely to be lost when an application is upgraded.

the same logo should have the same function

Designing easy-to-distinguish app icons helps users understand the functionality of the app rather than passing through some minor changes. Avoid some of the many different designs that look similar but actually operate.

do not disturb the user unless it is very important

Like some good personalized help to help users avoid some unnecessary distractions. People are focused, and unless the event is urgent, irrelevant distractions can bring unnecessary annoyance to the user.

to guide me anywhere

People can feel good about solving problems with other tools. Learn about other Android apps that make your app more user-friendly with visual patterns and muscle memory. For example, a swipe operation is a lot of navigation modes.

that's not my problem.

Gently prompt the user for some modifications. When it comes to using your app, they want to feel cool. If something goes wrong, give you some direct corrective instructions instead of specific technical details. If you can not interfere with users in the background to solve their own, the effect will be better.

Full of encouragement

Dividing a complex task into smaller steps is easier to accomplish. Provide some feedback on the operation, even minor changes.

Give me a big lift

By helping users do what they never thought they could do, it makes the novice feel like an expert. For example, by combining several camera effects, it takes just a few simple steps to get an amateur photographer to surprise the effect.

Let the important things be done more quickly

Not all operations are as important. Decide which features in your app are the most important, make the portals of these features easy to find and be able to use quickly, like the camera's shutter button or the pause button of the music player.
