A lot of settings and capabilities in the application are in the drawer menu since they are used
less frequently. One accesses the drawer menu by clicking on the profile icon in the upper left
corner. This will open the drawer:
corner (highlighted in red) of most screens:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/" alt="" width="300px"/>
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/drawer_menu_icon_highlight.png" alt="Screenshot of the main screen with the highligthed drawer menu icon." width="300px"/>
This will open the drawer which has a scrollable menu:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/drawer_menu.png" alt="Screenshot of the drawer menu" width="300px"/>
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/drawer_menu_bottom.png" alt="Screenshot of the drawer menu bottom" width="300px"/>
Now lets look at the various capabilities available in this part of the application.
### Profile Management
Profile management is important if one has multiple accounts across Friendica server(s) and want to
be able to toggle between them easily. As we saw in the above screenshot, that particular
application had two users. The icon in the upper left always presents which user is actively
selected. When you bring up the drawer menu the logged in one is highlighted in bold. It is possible
to quickly toggle between the two by tapping/clicking on one of the additional ones that are already
signed in. We saw in the [Your First Login](#your-first-login) section how to create your first
user. That same screen will be brought up when the user selects "Profile Management" option from the
Drawer Menu.
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_signin_populated.png" alt="Screenshot of the sign in screen with accounts" width="300px"/>
Again, there are two areas: logged out accounts that Relatica has credentials for and logged in
accounts that it has credentials for. The active account is in bold down in the "Logged In" list
again. From here users can sign in/out existing accounts, remove them if they no longer want them
here, or add new ones following the same steps as in [Your First Login](#your-first-login). At the
very bottom of the screen (not shown) there is a button to purge all credentials completely.
### Focus Mode
The "Focus Mode" option is something I created to help me when I need to be able to focus on things
other than my penchant for buring myself in social media. Sure I could just delete the whole
application but what do I spend most of my mindlessness time doing on social media? I'd say that is
predominantly jumping between timelines checking for new content, like Pavlov's dog trying to make
the bell ring again to get more food. For times I want to enforce some discipline there is the "
Focus Mode". This will lock out everything except the user's posts timeline and the editor from
view. There are no notifications. There are no timelines, search, or anything. You just get a list
of your posts, which you can still dive into, edit, and look at comments on or add comments to, and
the editor
to create new posts.
Click on "Focus Mode" to begin the process of configuring:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_focus_mode_configuration.png" alt="Screenshot of the 'Focus Mode' configuration screen" width="300px"/>
The two settings you have for focus mode are the duration you want the focus mode to last and the
difficulty of the "puzzle" if you want to disable it earlier. The buttons are there for easy presets
but one can use the spinner to set a custom duration up to 24 hours. There is also the "Forever"
button which will leave the app in Focus Mode until one manually disables it with by solving the
puzzle.
The "Puzzle" is a number guesser game. The difference between the settings are how big a range of
numbers the guess will be within:
* Easy is between 0 and 10
* Medium is between 0 and 1000
* Hard is between 0 and 1,000,000
* Extreme is between 0 and 1,000,000,000
Focus Mode settings are stored so that once it is enabled it survives quits of the application or
even rebooting of the device. The only way to leave Focus Mode is for it to expire or to win the
challenge game on the "Disable Focus Mode" screen. There is no means for the developer to reset the
state of the game. However if one plays the game using a "bisection" method then it should be
possible to correctly guess the number in a reasonable number of tries. For example in a worst case
scenario of a perfectly played game even in the "Extreme" setting one should be able to guess the
number within about 30 guesses.
Once you enable Focus Mode Relatica will look like this:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/relatica_in_focus_mode.png" alt="Screenshot of Relatica in 'Focus Mode'" width="300px"/>
As one can see there are some big differences between the usual Relatica interface and this one.
First, the entire bottom navigation bar is gone. Second, at the top you will see a status for how
long is left in this "Focus Mode" session. In this case it has 15 minutes left. A minute later it'd
read "14 Minutes", et cetera. If the user opted to put it into "Forever" mode then it will
perpetually read, "Focus Mode for Forever".
If you open the drawer this time the "Focus Mode" menu option will read "Disable Focus Mode":
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/drawer_menu_disable_focus_mode.png" alt="Screenshot of the drawer menu highlighting 'Disable Focus Mode' menu item" width="300px"/>
If the user selects this they will be brought to the Disable Focus Mode Game screen:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_disable_focus_mode.png" alt="Screenshot of the disable focus mode screen" width="300px"/>
The user enters a guess. If it is correct then Focus Mode is disabled and the usual interface
returns. If it is wrong then the game presents whether it is too high or too low:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_disable_focus_mode_too_high.png" alt="Screenshot of the game showing too high prompt" width="300px"/>
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_disable_focus_mode_too_low.png" alt="Screenshot of the game showing too low prompt" width="300px"/>
If the user has guessed more than 10 times in a row without success then it throws up a hint on how
to play the game using the bisection method as well as the information on the last guess:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_disable_focus_mode_hint.png" alt="Screenshot of the game showing the hint" width="300px"/>
### Gallery Viewing/Management
One of the relatively hidden features of Friendica is the ability to collect your photos/images in
galleries. The Gallery option allows one to perform some gallery and image management within
Relatica. When a user clicks on this option they are brought to the Galleries Screen:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_galleries.png" alt="Screenshot of the galleries screen" width="300px"/>
This screen provides a list of all known galleries and some basic information about them like the
number of images and its creation date. From here it is possible to rename the gallery by just
selecting the button on the right hand side:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_galleries_rename.png" alt="Screenshot showing renaming galleries" width="300px"/>
If instead one clicks on a gallery they are brought to the Gallery View. This provides a grid view
of all gallery items with the ability to perform some editing on the image properties themselves:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_gallery.png" alt="Screenshot of a gallery screen" width="300px"/>
Clicking on any image will put the gallery in Carousel mode so one can zooom in on the images and
navigate through them forward or backward:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_gallery_carousel_mode.png" alt="Screenshot of the Gallery Carousel mode" width="300px"/>
Back in the gallery grid view, the icon in the lower right corner denotes whether it is a public (
Globe) or private (Lock) image. If there is ALT Text for an image then a button will show in the
lower left corner. Clicking it will bring up the ALT Text in a dialog box.
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_gallery_alt_text_dialog.png" alt="Screenshot of the gallery with the ALT Text dialog box up" width="300px"/>
If a user clicks the trash can icon they can delete the image, after confirming they want the
deletion in the subsequent dialog box. Deleting the image permamently removes it from Friendica.
Therefore any posts that used that image will no longer render properly.
If one clicks on the Pencil icon they can edit the ALT Text of the image:
<img src="screenshots/v1.1.0/screen_gallery_alttext_editor.png" alt="Screenshot of the ALT Text editor" width="300px"/>
