Overlapping screens allowed by TBT?

Hi,

Does TBT allow overlapping screens?

I was looking at the TBT document and it is mentioned that a screen should repaiont after a pop-up box is dismissed. It also mentions that you cannot have image or text from a previous screen and at another place mentions that the pop-up box is also a screen.

Here is a scenario that I wanted to clarify.

I have a screen. I click a button and a pop-up window comes up with 3 options. The pop-up window is overlaid over the initial screen. So you can actually see some of the contents of th initial screen in the background of the pop-up window. I choose an option on the window. Based on that option either the initial screen gets refreshed or another screen is displayed. Will this kind of a UI scenario pass TBT?

Thanks

As long as you clearly document what your program is supposed to do, I believe it would pass. The Samsung A530 uses pop up menus like you described, and its certainly acceptable on desktop computers, TVs, and DVD players. I think they are referring to buggy code that doesn't redraw the screen correctly.

Hi,


This is acceptable in TBT testing. What we are more concerned about is repainting after suspend and resume events (incoming phone call, SMS, etc..).

Thanks
