Example 1: Android User Interface — Single Line Grid List

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Android User Interface solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This Android UI design sample shows the use of the Android Material Design single-line grid list and how it is possible to accurately represent a basic Android interface. In general, the grid lists are an alternative to common standard list views and consist of the repeated cells arranged horizontally or vertically, which help represent data in a visual and comprehensible view. The grid list is the best way to depict images or other homogenous data of a similar type, as well as the text or images with text. The use of grid lists lets also differentiate the number of cells in a row and column. So, one can customize the grid list to create a beautiful user interface. The pictures at the device's screen can be seen in the represented example, it is a gallery organized with the grid list. The user has added these images from an outside source and integrated them with the graphics available from the solution libraries.

Example 3: Android GUI — Full Screen Dialog

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the Android Product Icons library from the Android User Interface solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This Android 7 user interface sample shows the Material Design full-screen dialog. The full-screen dialogs on Android are the type of modal windows that appear on an entire screen. They are used to depict the content or tasks, require making a decision and the keyboard input by the user, contain UI controls, including two buttons for making choice: one for action confirmation and the other for its cancellation. The dialogs can inform users about specific tasks, can group multiple series of tasks and involve critical information. The full-screen dialogs perfectly suit the complex tasks, should never be hidden by other elements and need to be active until the required action will be taken. This sample also illustrates how it is possible to combine many different android GUI elements, available to you from the Android User Interface solution. Select your desired wallpaper, overlay text, use professionally drawn app icons and other icons as necessary.
