While enlarging/shrinking images is inherent in Android, not so is the font size. Some of us old farts need larger fonts to be able to read without glasses. Allowing FONT sizes to be user-selected would go a long way to making Android easier for older users.
And, some of us are increasingly deaf, too. How hard would it be to route all audio through a user-adjustable filter to boost certain frequencies of sounds?
Adding these geriatric features may seem wasteful to you young folks, but to us oldsters-- many of whom helped develop the underlying technology that you are using today-- are increasinly important.
PLEASE CONSIDER ADDING USER-SELECTABLE FONT SIZES and AUDIO FILTERS TO ANDROID.
Thank you-- some day you, too, will be happy that you did.
You should post this to the Android team. This list is for Android app developers.
Not that I disagree with the idea, but this forum doesn't deal with changes to Android itself.
Now individual apps should take this idea to heart, as for example Books does wrt fonts.
You could for example provide "Small/Medium/Large" font support and "Midrange boost"
audio support to your app, yes?
