Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an album that
2. Tap on the "Play all" button to add all its songs to the queue
3. Tap on the queue icon at the top right-hand side to show the queue with the list of songs

Actual:
- There are two icons in the header to go back from the queue: the chevron on the left hand side and the cross on the right-hand side

Expected:
- There is only one way to go back from the queue (probably the chevron?)

This is a pattern we need to work out with design. Currently the x in the queue closes the queue and goes back to the Now Playing page. It behaves as a toggle so the user can "open the queue" and "close the queue". This is identical to how the Google Music app works, except for Google shows the original playlist icon (that we use in the Now Playing view) as highlighted in the Queue view to indicate the user can toggle back to the Now Playing view.

I somewhat disagree with your assessment that there should only be 1 way to go back. There are two ways to leave the Now Playing view. 1. Back with chevron, and 2. the playlist icon to enter the Queue. There should then also be two ways to do the same in the Queue view--as the user might want to toggle back to the Now Playing view and they also may want to go back to browsing the library.

But this needs design discussion.

Just so this isn't lost, I'd like to have design consider using a PageHeadSection for "Now Playing" and "Queue". This may be more clear to a user.

This has been fixed. Now the chevron returns the user to the main app, and an icon will allow the user to toggle between the Now Playing and Queue views.
