In the previous post, we mentioned that Android 15 (SDK Level 35) includes some changes.
One of these changes is that the Edge-to-Edge layout is now enforced by default.
Because of this change, some parts of the original layout, especially the areas displaying numbers, are shifted upwards, making them invisible on the main screen.
The solution has already been applied to all released apps, including the Travel Calculator, and they have all been updated on Google Play.
For those using Android 15, you can update to the latest version to avoid this issue.
Enlarged Calculator Button Fonts
Another part of this update includes increasing the font size of the number buttons in the calculator series, along with adjustments to button fonts on tablets so they scale accordingly.
On phones with higher resolutions, the enlarged number buttons appear clearer after the update.
However, after the release, we received feedback that the increased font size might actually hinder usability.
We are already working on addressing this issue.
Currently, the plan is to add a setting in the general settings screen, allowing users to adjust the size of the number buttons.
Users will be able to drag to select their preferred font size, and once confirmed, the system will remember the chosen size for both the current session and future app launches.
This way, more users can find a size that suits them, and it will also be more accessible for older users.
This update is expected to be released next month. We’ve completed about half of the work, and once we wrap up the remaining part, testing will begin.
Summary
This update primarily addresses the layout issues in Android 15 and adjusts the button font sizes.
We hope that the Travel Calculator and related apps can continue to accompany you on your journeys and currency conversion needs.
