Bug Description
As discussed during the terminal meeting.
The terminal has limited space on a mobile device, and much of that is taken up with the header. In addition the terminal does not support multiple tabs. We'd like to improve the terminal and make it more consistent with other applications. With that in mind I propose the following changes:-
1. Remove top header
2. Add bottom edge swipe up (as per clock app) to reveal a list of tabs. By default we start with one "tab".
* If only one tab is open we provide an option to open an additional tab as the first revealed option.
* If more than one tab is open we reveal a list of open tabs (much like dialer lists previous callers) with the last option being to open a new tab
* Pulling all the way up reveals a scrollable list of tabs
* Once in the full reveal, we can swipe to delete tabs (much like clock can swipe to delete alarms)
3. Within the pull-up we re-implement the header which we removed from the main screen
This will also allow us to more easily support implementing bug 1202472
