What type of Android issue is this? User Interface, Display, or Rendering issue
When did this happen?
Dec 10, 2021 14:13 GMT+01:00
What steps would let us observe this issue?
1. Open the app launcher.
2. Open any app.
3. Use the back gesture to leave the app you just opened.
What did you expect to happen?
I expected the app to use the same animation that's used when opening an app, just backwards. And, in case the app wouldn't be on my home screen already, it should just use the "recommended apps bottom row". Additionally, in case a user blacklisted an app from this bottom row it should still be used, just for the closing animation and right after the animation played, it should replace the recommendation with a more fitting app which the user often uses in these situations/times of the day/night. The last case that we have to calculate is that some users simply don't have the "recommended apps bottom row" activated. So... In those cases the only way to to catch that problem would be to actually play the current "wrong" animation. All the other cases should use the more suitable, smoother and aesthetically pleasing closing animation.
What actually happened?
It used another animation which it doesn't use whenever you have an app already on the home screen.
How often has this happened?
Every time
What was the effect of this issue on your device usage, such as lost time or work?
None - device worked normally
Additional comments
If you manage to pull off this animation bug fix Android will feel much smoother and coherent in terms of design!
