Sure. One of the things that we do in the iPhone app is to open each of our media screens as modals, then when you bump we slide in the chat screen that shows the data that was transferred.
Modals mean slightly different things in Android from iPhone, they truly are something that pop up and should be immediately dismissed. So all of our media screens had to be slide in from the right instead of modals so using the back button makes more sense.
Another thing is autofilling out the user's contact information for them if we can. Android gives us richer information about device and user identity (only after we are given permission at download time of course). We can use this to make the process of setting up your contact to Bump a breeze.
Ok, thanks. It seems that apart the obvious stuff (Menu+Back buttons) it is mostly tweaking the app to use the correct widgets/APIs for the task.
Based on various comments about porting I was affraid I am missing some grand user experience pattern that exists on one of the platforms but not the other.
