1
00:00:00,610 --> 00:00:03,047
Now let's learn about the feedback state.

2
00:00:03,047 --> 00:00:07,733
A feedback state is
shown when the UI informs

3
00:00:07,733 --> 00:00:11,982
the user about what's
happening in the app.

4
00:00:11,982 --> 00:00:17,870
Let's imagine that my app syncs with
my photo albums in Google Photos.

5
00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:22,650
Once users give permission for the app to
sync with their Google Photos account,

6
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:27,010
they can select a Google photo album and
associate it with a trip.

7
00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:30,290
That way, the photos can easily
appear in the travel app.

8
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:36,130
With this added functionality,
we can show an image in the card, but

9
00:00:36,130 --> 00:00:39,920
we also need to prepare for
a case when an image is not available.

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,180
Perhaps there is a syncing error.

11
00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:46,520
I can display an alert to
communicate that to the user so

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,020
that they can try
reauthorizing the app to sync.

13
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:53,360
There are system errors that
are outside of the user's control.

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,330
Perhaps the server is down.

15
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:58,520
You'll want to design for that scenario
to keep the user informed as well.

16
00:01:00,380 --> 00:01:04,720
Let's take a look at the Fitbit
website for another example.

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,310
Fitbit helps people track their health and
fitness.

18
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:12,110
Perhaps in order to see data
charted on a dashboard,

19
00:01:12,110 --> 00:01:13,920
the user needs to connect their device.

20
00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:20,080
In this example, you can see it's been
a while since I synced my Fitbit.

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,240
There's an alert banner to
prompt me to sync my device, so

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,590
I can see the activities
charted in my account.

23
00:01:26,590 --> 00:01:28,540
This is specific and actionable.

24
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,760
Those are just a couple of examples
to illustrate the feedback state.

25
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:37,330
Up next,
we'll take a look at partial states.
