Open-event-droidgen: Adding About screen in the application

[harshitagupta30]

Actual Behaviour

Currently, we have no screen describing the event and its details.

Expected Behaviour

Adding an about screen containing all the required details about the event.

(This is sample UI improvements are need to be done in this.)

Would you like to work on the issue?
yes

@the-dagger @mananwason What's your thoughts on this? Should I implement this?

[the-dagger]

Yes we definitely need this. :+1:
But the current implementation looks a bit plain to me.
How about you take a look at wither Facebook's F8 and Google io app to see
how they are doing it.

Lastly, be sure not to include anything which is not provided by the
event.json since that would be of no use and will have to be removed
anyways.

This is just a mock screen. I'll try to make it look better.
Yes I'll add data keeping that in mind.
Thanks 👍

@the-dagger @harshitagupta30
This was proposed earlier in #751 .
But there is no data in the JSONs that can be used for this activity.

Correct me if I am wrong.

[the-dagger]

You can take the data from event.json

@the-dagger Checked different apps but about page is very plain in every app! Can you give your suggestions on how it can be improved?

[mananwason]

@harshitagupta30 This seems a lot of continuous text. Maybe breaking it down using dividers, different sizes etc. be better
Plus you can add contributors list, add a mapview under menu etc.

These are some ideas of the top of my mind

[gautamp8]

@harshitagupta30, you could try adding dividers and setting max lines in
text views with longer descriptions.
Adding a read more link with ellipsis would be a good improvement in UX.

If you want to try something even better, go with Card UI and expand them
with animation for longer descriptions. You can look at cardslib repo
https://github.com/gabrielemariotti/cardslib for UI inspiration.

@the-dagger @mananwason I've tried to make it look better, attaching the screenshots.

I am also planning to add all the social links at bottom related to FOSSASIA at the bottom.
