Demonstrates what this app has implemented:

Search function with Bottom Nav Bar

Fast Scroll over 253 months of entries

Implemented:

• Search Fruits - remember search choices. Show matches.

• Fast scroll of 20 years of monthly selections. Based on the Google Photos fast scroll UX.

UX credits

• Google Photos fast scroll. It is really a good example of a useful scroll feature.

• Wikipedia search function. It was the model to match for a search user experience.

Note that both of these UX features were implemented here as concepts for inclusion in the Molecule Of The Month browser implementation.

Code credits:

• Android Studio Bottom Navigation Bar template

It is coded in Kotlin and is based on the BottomNavigationBar "Hello World" template as kindly provided in Android Studio 4.1.

• wikipedia app in github

The UI in the Wikipedia app switches dynamically between a history of the search function, and a dynamically updated match list based on the search entry text. The design follows what exists in the Wikipedia app as of October 2020.

• cheesesquare

The design uses the collapsing toolbar view for the fruit activity. The link above references the github repo authored by @chrisbanes.

• Reply material components android example

The Reply sample application has a mostly non-functional search function - but the UI is based on the EditText widget rather than the SearchView widget. The EditText widget provides a sufficient level of base functionality and proved to be much simpler to manage in laying out UI components. This sample app wires up the "cancel text" X pushbutton, and the back arrow to dismiss the soft keyboard in a layout similar to the Reply app.
