Please add three line button to open left side menu of android app

Please allow us to select libraries to play by side menu in left side of android app to jump directly to it i think this will add speed and aethetic to the android app and will conform more with material design

Thanks alot

Hi, have you tried the left edge swipe?

[Mohamed Selim 24]

Yes it worked but could you please make it more obvious and easier by:

Adding a button (three parallel lines) in top left side to indicate left menu as screenshot

Thanks alot

Please try to add three line button as the screenshot to open side menu of android app as the swipe do not work good in my device and the left menu is not obvious enough and i think it will conform more with material design

Hi

I also have often problems to open with swipe on my Tablet and Smartphone.

 

Maybe this could opened by clicking the emby logo?

[Luke 42078]

Well we can add the menu, it just means there won't be enough room for the home button anymore.

[rechner123 12]

I mean only at the homescreen by clicking the emby logo on the left, upper corner.

[Luke 42078]

Well, nobody would ever guess that. we'd have to just show the menu button instead.

[rechner123 12]

Yes maybe.

 

I just thought to waste no space or to keep the screen minimal.

The home button is nice because it's just one click home. so with the menu button now you need two clicks.

[rechner123 12]

When the menue button is only there if you are on homescreen?

[Luke 42078]

We'll have to constantly answer questions and explain that if we do. Why would you need it on the home screen? all the libraries are right in front of you on the home screen.

[Mohamed Selim 24]

If we choose large icons in the home screen and we have alot of libraries we will have to swipe to the right alot to reach the required library so please try to consider adding function as when the emby icon is pressed the left menu open or so for those who want to use this function (additional functionality for those who need it only and for those who do not need it it will not hurt them the icon is still their anyway with all its glory)

Or try to consider the three line button i think it will take just a small millimetres of the screen and my be beneficial to some who are accustomed to the android way of side menus by buttons (second nature of android users way of browsing apps)(more intuitive and expected behaviour of app)

Please we need the left menu to be accessible more easily, the app may feel faster and more intuitive and more standardized as rest of apps, some as me may use the left menu exclusively or alot, it is important part of app but swipe do not work good or reliable so we will have to adapt to current design and ignore left menu entirely, left menu contains not only libraries but also some important functions of app

Thanks alot
