Abstract

This application belongs to the field of user interfaces, and provides an index display method, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The index display method includes: displaying a first page in response to an operation of a user, where the first page includes a first list, and displaying an index corresponding to the first list when the first list is located in a preset display region of a display interface, so that both the first list and the corresponding index are displayed, thereby improving a degree of matching between an index displayed in the display interface and a list.

Claims (45)

1. An index display method, comprising:

displaying, on a display interface of a mobile device, a first page in response to a tapping operation of a user, wherein the first page comprises a first list and a second list, wherein a first index corresponding to the first list comprises at least one index label, and wherein the first list is a device list, and the second list is a contacts list;

obtaining a quantity of the at least one index label and a length of the first list;

displaying, on the display interface of the mobile device, the first index corresponding to the first list in response to (i) a first sliding operation of the user that slides a top of the first list to the top of the display interface and (ii) determining that the quantity of the at least one index label is greater than a preset value and the length of the first list is greater than a preset length:

stopping displaying the first index in response to a second sliding operation of the user, the second sliding operation of the user causing the display interface to display both the first list and the second list; and

displaying, on the display interface, a second index corresponding to the second list in response to a third sliding operation of the user that slides a top of the second list to the top of the display interface.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first page further comprises a scroll bar, and the method further comprises:

when the display interface displays both the first list and the scroll bar, skipping displaying the first index.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first list comprises at least one list item, and an index label of the at least one index label corresponds to a list item displayed in the display interface.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the index label corresponds to the list item displayed in the display interface and a display status of the display interface.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the displaying the first index corresponding to the first list, the method further comprises:

determining an index display position based on a text arrangement format of the first list, wherein the text arrangement format comprises display from left to right and display from right to left; and

correspondingly, the displaying an index corresponding to the first list comprises:

displaying, at the index display position, the index corresponding to the first list.

6. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor and a memory, wherein

the memory stores program instructions; and

the processor is configured to run the program instructions stored in the memory, to cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:

displaying, on a display interface of a mobile device, a first page in response to a tapping operation of a user, wherein the first page comprises a first list and a second list, wherein a first index corresponding to the first list comprises at least one index label, and wherein the first list is a device list, and the second list is a contacts list;

obtaining a quantity of the at least one index label and a length of the first list;

displaying, on the display interface of the mobile device, the first index corresponding to the first list in response to (i) a first sliding operation of the user that slides a top of the first list to the top of the display interface and (ii) determining that the quantity of the at least one index label is greater than a preset value and the length of the first list is greater than a preset length;

stopping displaying the first index in response to a second sliding operation of the user, the second sliding operation of the user causing the display interface to display both the first list and the second list; and

displaying, on the display interface, a second index corresponding to the second list in response to a third sliding operation of the user that slides a top of the second list to the top of the display interface.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the first page further comprises a scroll bar, and the operations further comprise:

when the display interface displays both the first list and the scroll bar, skipping displaying the first index.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the first list comprises at least one list item, and an index label of the at least one index label corresponds to a list item displayed in the display interface.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the index label corresponds to the list item displayed in the display interface and a display status of the display interface.

10. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein before the displaying the first index corresponding to the first list, the operations further comprise:

determining an index display position based on a text arrangement format of the first list, wherein the text arrangement format comprises display from left to right and display from right to left; and

correspondingly, the displaying an index corresponding to the first list comprises:

displaying, at the index display position, the index corresponding to the first list.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor of an electronic device, the electronic device is caused to perform operations comprising:

displaying, on a display interface of a mobile device, a first page in response to a tapping operation of a user, wherein the first page comprises a first list and a second list, wherein a first index corresponding to the first list comprises at least one index label, and wherein the first list is a device list, and the second list is a contacts list;

obtaining a quantity of the at least one index label and a length of the first list;

displaying, on the display interface of the mobile device, the first index corresponding to the first list in response to (i) a first sliding operation of the user that slides a top of the first list to the top of the display interface and (ii) determining that the quantity of the at least one index label is greater than a preset value and the length of the first list is greater than a preset length:

stopping displaying the first index in response to a second sliding operation of the user, the second sliding operation of the user causing the display interface to display both the first list and the second list; and

displaying, on the display interface, a second index corresponding to the second list in response to a third sliding operation of the user that slides a top of the second list to the top of the display interface.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the first page further comprises a scroll bar, and the operations further comprise:

when the display interface displays both the first list and the scroll bar, skipping displaying the first index.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the first list comprises at least one list item, and an index label of the at least one index label corresponds to a list item displayed in the display interface.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the index label corresponds to the list item displayed in the display interface and a display status of the display interface.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein before the displaying the first index corresponding to the first list, the operations further comprise:

determining an index display position based on a text arrangement format of the first list, wherein the text arrangement format comprises display from left to right and display from right to left; and

correspondingly, the displaying an index corresponding to the first list comprises:

displaying, at the index display position, the index corresponding to the first list.
