search bar doesn't focus automatically
Opened this issue · 8 comments
When taping on the search icon on the bottom bar, it doesn't focus automatically. I am not sure if it is intentional, but that is an expected behavior to happen.
Yes, this is expected. So one can choose one of the recent search terms. I'll probably expand the limit of the recent search terms to allow more terms there.
Maybe I haven't explained it well! Currently, users have to tap twice to focus on the search bar, first tap on the search icon and second tap on the search bar. What I think should solve it, is to focus the search bar by just tapping on the search icon. hope that is useful.
Yes, understood. This is very similar experience to App Store for example.
yes and I don't know how it makes sense!
I think to allow the users to see the other data in the screen. For App store, they have suggestions there. For this Quran app, we have recent search terms. If the keyboard is up, the user won't see the recent search terms.
I get your point though. I also see App store's point too. I'm just not sure which way is better.
I think the better would be the one which mostly occurs.
@Ali-Hussein-dev I totally get the point you're making, but I personally think the current behaviour is more appropriate, since this is what users in the Apple Ecosystem are used to. Here are the Search guidelines provided by Apple, which don't precise whether or not the search bar should be displayed automatically: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/patterns/searching. Again, I think we should stick to what is common on the platform we're designing for.
