[Request] Ask for confirmation when pressing "New"

[BeanieBarrow]

What a charming little app. Thank you for making it. It reminds me of Flipnote, a game I loved to play.
However, I noticed that when the user draws at the edges of the canvas, their finger can accidentally slide over to the New button, erasing the canvas. Can you implement a measure that prevents accidental clearing of the canvas? Maybe a press-and-hold delay or a confirmation dialog can help.
Thank you, I plan on using this for some hobby video projects, because I love the minimalistic, but fun nature of it.

Hi there, thank you so much! I'm glad someone can find this app useful. A confirmation popup could be a good idea but in the meantime, note that the Undo button will undo a New command and restore the canvas (contrary to common custom where New reset the undo memory).

I hope this helps :)

Oh, that's nice to know. Thank you for the tip. ;)

I did use Undo for that, but is too easy to press New when drawing.

Maybe make a little bit harder with some checks?
Like: only clear screen if it wasn't drawing for 1 second (at least, not drawing from the canvas and press the button).

@Disonantemus there's actually a bug, when you draw past the vertical line, the UI shouldn't receive commands. The bug is fixed in d786673

If you want to give it a try, you can find the fixed APK at the bottom of this page:
