  • The navigation drawer isn't being used for its intended purpose.

A navigation drawer is supposed to take you to different aspects of the applicaiton. Good example of this is google play music:

gplay_music

  • Tabs should be used for category filtering if it exists, just like the google play market:

play_market .

So we should use the navigation drawer to take you to these views:

  • Deals Near Me
  • Pocket
  • My Businesses

    Also, profile should be on the navigation drawer, and you've probably guessed it, but the action menu should be used for actions instead of navigation ;)

    This will be tackled after the UI is in a stable state. Basically we will need to replace the four root activities:

    • NewsFeed
    • Pocket
    • Profile
    • My Businesses

    with fragments.

    Following #42 will make this much easier.

    For this purpose we should use "support fragments"

    Most of the views already follow the fragment + containing activity pattern, so this will not give problems.
