Update backdrop.md #25
Conversation
Line 12. It's unclear what the answer is intended to do. Is it discouraging use in Flutter? When it says you can achieve the result with "existing components and classes" does that mean it's recommending using something other than the backdrop component, or that you can hack the backdrop in a way that's ... something? Unclear what the 3rd sentence means, basically. Line 16. When you say "a view" do you literally mean the Android definition of a view? https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View Line 16. Does "reveal information behind it" mean reveal the back layer? Or something else? Line 19. "You will have a separate widget to build out the front layer" Is this "separate widget" referring to the stateful widget or something else? If something else, what is that else? Line 36. By "secondary" do you mean not dominant in the sense you need to take an action to access it? Line 36. How is the back layer "persistent"? It's always there, but not always open (and I think often the spec uses persistent to mean active/open/inyourface. Line 42. Does this mean a single front or back layer, as in not both? Or does it mean both, but is unique in some other way? Unclear on phrasing. Line 42. "containing the backdrop to a vertical back and forth interaction" what does this mean?

Line 12 was meant to help someone wondering if there was a dedicated Backdrop class (widget). There isn't one. And we don't intend to make one because it's not a good candidate for one. What you should do instead is use existing classes / widgets to make a backdrop bespoke to your app. |

Line 16, yes I meant reveal the back layer. |
|
For line 16, I kinda mean that kind of view. I don't have a good all purpose word for a discrete area of the UI. So I use 'view'. |
|
Line 19, it could be a stateful widget or a stateless widget. Depends on the needs of the customer. Almost any widget could be expected here. |
|
Line 36, yes that kind of secondary. Also, not some place you'd expect the user to hang out. They may spend an hour on the feed in the front layer, but filtering it with the back layer is a quick interaction. |

Yeah I didn't write this well. The front layer's content could change considerably depending on what a user does in the back layer to affect it.

Which line does this comment refer to?
I ask because the spec was using "view" incorrectly for years, and I think we landed on "scrollable area." I think in this instance you mean "surface." |
