Hey! Why don't we overlap buttons on purpose! What a great idea!

Go to settings - appearance - theme- device mode (scroll down)

Select android or apple depending on your device

Oh snap! I've been putting up with this for over a year! I had no idea there was as a toggle. Why doesn't the android build installed from FDroid default to the android compatibility mode?

Wow, this just fixed so many issues. Thanks!

Voyager does this to me occasionally. I just endtask it and re open.

I have this issue but at the top of the screen. The title bar sometimes overlaps the time, notifications, etc.

I have the navigation buttons turned on at the bottom of the screen but I don't think I've seen this problem

Rotating my phone's screen by turning it sideways temporarily 'fixes' this problem for me.

[-] pedz@lemmy.ca 25 points 6 hours ago

Mild guess. The dev(s) don't know about navigation buttons. Gestures have been "standard" for a while now so maybe someone forgot about this as a possibility?

Yes. You just swipe left from the edge of the screen to go back. You swipe up from the bottom to go to home. And a smaller swipe from the bottom, dunno how to describe it, for the square menu thingy. Easier than the buttons and you also gain extra screen space.

If this true this means they purposely ignore default APIs and reinvent the wheel. Android adjusts the viewport automatically in order not to overlap the navigation area, regardless of the actual navigation method. Sounds like incompetence

God, this might be why a certain micro rental car company in Los Angeles has the same problem in their app. Fuck them gestures!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

I gotta gesture for ya right 'ere, pal!

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago

At first I thought this was a meme akin to not being able to get up because cat.

App devs have a tendency to not take into account mobile OS design. It's aggravating.

[-] ttyybb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Its not not a meme about not being able to get up because cat.

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 7 hours ago

How the heck am I supposed to use the app if I keep clicking the desktop/main page? Actually, how is the desktop called on a phone? Hold that thought, its not useful to me rantnow! All I rant to do is rant!

Rant this ranting rantotanter app!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Do you smell toast?

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I'm more concerned why there isn't an Outbox button, but I digress..

I don't have an exact answer, but have you tried turning the screen sideways?

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 6 hours ago

Like this?

I also enabled gestures LOL fuck Android's buttons!

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

No no, I meant the cat is sitting on the inbox, if you tilt it to left, you might empty the outbox in the trash..

[-] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

Wait, is that on purpose?

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Is this Voyager? Is it the Webapp or the App Store App? If it’s the Voyager webapp you may need to tell it you are on Android in the settings.

I just turned on Android buttons for the first time in 7 years to confirm your issue. Couldn't replicate. Either something wrong with your particular app (if full restart does help try clearing data) or your ROM.

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

What kind of android phone do you have?
