Don't recall saying that it was :-P it's just a android standard these days and different from the first way I posted :-)

And just for the record I've never installed your remote app

[Jezz_X]

And another one with the remote section changed up a little

CLICK THIS TEXT FOR FULL SIZE

[jblance]

Nice!

This would have a nice integration point for the voice control too :-)

[Jezz_X]

Redone Playlist view changes are List Items have a dark background instead of being transparent.
Also added a persistent "Now Playing" Item to the bottom of all section except the remote control, that allows quick pause/play and clicking the main item would take you to the remote control

Again click here for the really big image (stupid forum)

[jblance]

I really like your designs - they look great

Wouldn't this be better in the notification area?

[Jezz_X]

It could be there as well but it's not able to have click able buttons on lower than ice cream sandwich for the pause. But it's my hope that showing it in the app itself is an option in settings

The only Android apps that do this are Facebook and Youtube. Both of them, in my experience, are horrible.

I prefer the previous version where you would have the button on the actionbar. Great work on the remote part thou, seems much more refined Also, I'd say you should use ICS+'s option for rich notifications. It's one of the best features that ever hit Android, so it would be a shame to leave them out because some of the older phones can't run them.

I have about 10 apps (yeah its a rounded guess) on my phone that use this side slide out method, and is basically there so when you scale phone screen size apps up to 10 inch tablet landscape size you can make the side bar visible all the time and maintain the same navigation layout

And just to prove a point here is a few ( because I'm petty like that lol )

IIRC the sliding menu was first introduced by the facebook team with their ipad facebook app. All the others have taken inspiration from this app (including me).

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

Everything looks great. The only thing I do not like is the remote buttons design but that's just me. I would still use the app 100%

[Soong]

Yeah I love the look of this except the buttons as well. They look like they should be on a Star Trek phaser or something like that from the 90s.

Looking forward to this app though, don't get me wrong!

Is this actually in development or just a concept?

[Headcase_Fargon]

Funny, the buttons are my favorite part. You say it looks like something on a phaser as if that's a bad thing...

[PantsOnFire]

Looks really really nice!!!

One question- will you be including any icons, and therefore a method of Searching in the media libraries?

I know this feature is not currently in the XBMC remote app, and has probably been talked about 100 times. But will you be designing with it in mind? (I don't know if they have plans to add this feature). It's the only reason I use Yatse at the moment, a great app but it's called Yatse!! :p fickle I know! But when I look at my phone, what Im looking for is an XBMC icon and the words "XBMC remote"!
