rounded square on long press action

[itsmmt305]

#more_or_less_frivolous

in google calculator, the app which opencalc takes considerable inspiratiom from, the buttons turn smoothly into rounded squares from the regular ellipses upon pressing or holding them.

for the sake of consistency of design and idk sheer "fun" i thought it'd be nice to include that behaviour in opencalc too. again, it evidently adds nothing to the functionality and the app is totally fine without this feature but hey, it looks so nice that animation when tapping on the buttons, doesnt it??

alternatives? nahh the rounded squares are the only other shape in the material design catalogue so no. just the ellipses turning into rounded squares when holding the buttons

shoutout to darkempire78 for his inability to retain this small feature request and making me open an issue on the rep. see you next tuesday, 78!

In fact, it's a duplicate of #156, sorry about that

As a I see it this isn't a duplicate of #156.
#156 talkes about what happens when you press the 'scientific mode' button. Specifically what happens when switching back to the normal view. There is no animation which turns the shrinked buttons into circles and vice versa.

Therefore the circles are cut off for a short time. See this screenshot:

Issue #235 is explained well so I guess there's no need in describing it in my own words.

I don't really know how to add this functionality. Do you have any ideas for implementation?

[itsmmt305]

not a developer myself so no. im sure ppl can help. its a basic design thingy. maybe its in the material design 3 catalogue or something? like a button behaviour... or something? idk. excuse my lack of information.

Just wanted to say that Unitto has this feature, so it might be possible to look at how its done there. Maybe I'll even take a look at this when I am a little more experience with Android developing.
