[SDK] Bottom edge header improvement

[Giorgio Venturi]

When user does a bottom edge gesture to show a new view (Address Book, Dialer, Clock, etc) the new header should never have a chevron pointing left, as it seems to suggest the wrong direction for the movement.

The header of the new View should always have a chevron pointing down. Also, it should allow people using a gesture and dismiss the new screen by dragging or swiping the [chevron & title area of the header] downward

If a new page with header is swiped in from the bottom (let's call it swipedPage), will scrolling down in the swipedPage hide the header as usual? Or should the new header always be locked?

Can the user tap on the down-chevron to hide swipedPage? Or does only a drag down work?

Can the user drag down in the full header to hide the swipedPage, or only in the down-chevron area + the title text (that excludes the area with actions on the right side)?

1) If a new page with header is swiped in from the bottom (let's call it swipedPage), will scrolling down in the swipedPage hide the header as usual? Or should the new header always be locked?
A: It's up the developer to decide, it's a standard header

2) Can the user tap on the down-chevron to hide swipedPage? Or does only a drag down work?
A: Yes, you can also tap

3) Can the user drag down in the full header to hide the swipedPage, or only in the down-chevron area + the title text (that excludes the area with actions on the right side)?
A: Title & Arrow

It seems that the design assets attached to this bug report can no longer be accessed as the dropbox links are invalid. Can you please fix them?

In Calendar , currently we are not using any bottom edge so marking this as invalid.

The BottomEdge component has been released, with slightly different behaviour, approved by UX.
