We’re refactoring some of the user interface in our Android app. As you can see, we want event comments to feel more like a conversation, so we’re making them feel like the native Android Messaging app.

As we do this, we’re trying to take some of the new Android ICS design guidance into account; you can see in particular the action bar pattern here. We’re using Action Bar Sherlock so that we remain compatible with Android 2.x devices.

And, finally, the reason we have two screenshots above is that we’re taking care to use UI elements that will be familiar to our users, depending on the version of the Android platform that they’re using. In particular, the share icon, add-a-comment text field, and send button are set to match the usual platform style: Gingerbread on the left and Ice Cream Sandwich on the right.
