Summary of Changes

Hello @tiwiz, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a UI layout issue where the photo empty state was incorrectly displayed horizontally on large devices, leading to a suboptimal user experience. The core change involves refining the conditions under which this horizontal layout is applied, ensuring it only occurs when the window is both wide and has limited vertical space. This enhancement improves the adaptive behavior of the UI, making it more robust across diverse screen configurations.

Highlights

  • Function Renaming: The isHorizontalWindow function in LayoutUtils.kt has been renamed to shouldShowHorizontalPhotoPrompt to better reflect its refined purpose.
  • Refined Layout Logic: The logic for determining when to display a horizontally aligned photo prompt has been updated. It now considers not only if the window is horizontal but also if the vertical space is smaller than a medium breakpoint, preventing layout issues on large devices with ample vertical room.
  • Improved Adaptive UI: The changes ensure that the photo empty state UI adapts more appropriately to various screen sizes and orientations, specifically addressing 'horizontal breaking' on larger screens.

Code Review

This pull request fixes a layout issue on large horizontal screens by refining the logic that determines when to switch to a horizontal layout for the photo prompt. The function isHorizontalWindow has been renamed to shouldShowHorizontalPhotoPrompt and its logic updated to also consider if the window height is small. While the change is functionally correct, I've found an issue with the implementation using an internal API from the androidx.window library. I've provided a suggestion to refactor it using public APIs for better long-term stability and code clarity.
