Android Phone Emulation Page

Blazor Android Home replicates a mobile home screen with an app icon grid, dock, status bar and bottom navigation. Uses a Bootstrap layout and FontAwesome icons for the visual grid.

## What's implemented - Mobile phone mockup layout with status bar, app grid, dock and bottom navigation. - Static app icon grid with hover scale effect and names. - Dock with frequently used apps and simple navigation icons. - Scoped CSS file for phone chrome, background image and icon styling. ## Key components - Razor page and route: AndroidHomePage.razor (@page "/android-home"). - View model: AppViewModel (Name, IconClass, Color). - Lifecycle: OnInitialized to populate Apps and DockApps lists. - Razor patterns: foreach rendering of Apps and DockApps, anchor links for icons. - Styling: AndroidHomePage.razor.css (scoped CSS) and Bootstrap utility classes (container-fluid, row, col-3, d-flex, justify-content-*, align-items-*). - Icon set: FontAwesome icon classes (fas, fab, far). ## How it works - Data is initialized in OnInitialized and stored in two Lists: Apps and DockApps. - The Razor foreach loops render each AppViewModel into a circular app tile using IconClass and Color for inline styles. - Clickable anchors are placeholders; no navigation or command handlers are wired. - Visual interactions rely on CSS transitions (hover scale) and layout utilities (Bootstrap grid and flex helpers). ## Styling - Uses a scoped CSS file (AndroidHomePage.razor.css) to create the phone frame, background, and component-specific styles. - Bootstrap grid and utility classes provide the internal layout (container-fluid, row, col-3, gy-4, text-center). - FontAwesome icon classes provide the glyphs; a Google font import (Roboto) is included in the scoped CSS. - The phone size is fixed (380x800px) for a mockup; responsiveness is driven by Bootstrap utilities but the component is primarily designed as a fixed preview. ## Reuse steps 1. Add the Razor file to a Blazor project and include AppViewModel.cs in the shared/models folder. 2. Ensure Bootstrap CSS is included in the host project (default Blazor templates already include it) and add FontAwesome (cdn or npm) to _Host.cshtml or index.html. 3. Keep AndroidHomePage.razor.css as a scoped stylesheet or move styles to a global stylesheet as needed. 4. Register the route (the @page directive handles this) and add a navigation link in the app menu to view the mockup. 5. Replace static Apps/DockApps initialization with injected services or bind to a backend for dynamic data and implement click handlers or navigation. ## Limitations & next steps - The page uses static in-memory data; integrate a service or API to provide dynamic app lists, favorites, or user-specific state. - Anchor tags are placeholders; add NavigationManager or event handlers for tap/click behaviors and routing to app pages. - Accessibility and keyboard navigation are minimal; add ARIA attributes, focus styles, and semantic controls for screen readers. - The phone dimensions are fixed for a mockup; add responsive scaling or container queries to support different viewport sizes. - Optional enhancements: touch gesture support, animated app launch transitions, lazy-loaded icons, and configurable themes. This component is a single-page Instruct UI export and is editable in-project for integration and extension.
