I don’t know how to start and share my thoughts in an attractive. But I suppose to share some of my thoughts in this blog post, it might give you some insights about Mobile App Interaction.

Yes, Interaction design is not just like that to animate the interface. We should understand the need for the project and where it stands. Who is the user and what is the target of the application? Where do we initiate the user's need to focus on the application and how important it is?

‘Am I confusing you?’

Ho No, sorry these are not questions!!!

If we were researching these things before starting the interaction. Then we can able to know the difficulties of the user's needs with the design and its interaction.

First, all the designs should contain what is the user needs. More than that we don’t want to show on the interface, for example, the file uploader needs to contain only a few options like upload, delete, and some major options. Here I have designed a File uploader UI design for your idea, the sample image was added on top of this article and go down and see the app interaction. Also, I have created 2 more screens for the file search section. “All the sections were added at the bottom of the screen”. Because we don’t want to force users to use the entire screen for these simple actions. Here are the examples

We should change the focus of the upload process so that users don’t get bored using the application. Then we should follow some procedures

  1. When selecting the file we should differentiate it from the non-selected files.
  2. While a file is uploading the user needs to get a clear idea of the uploading process.
  3. File uploaded indication should attract the user.
  4. Uploaded file indication mark.

Here is an interactive example for your reference

I hope this interaction gives you some ideas. I’ll make sure that I do not share any theoretical notes or stories. I just convey my ideas in a simple discussion way.

Thanks for your presence up to here :-)
