At work I am currently facing a problem where the new gesture in Jelly Bean that opens Google Now is causing a problem related to our design.
The app is due very shortly and so redesigning the layout is not possible. Basically the problem is that we are using a Sliding Drawer located at the bottom of the screen, JellyBean users will find that they often accidentally launch the Google Now app when swiping for the sliding drawer at the bottom of the screen.
Is it possible to disable the Google Now Launch gesture on a per activity basis? Or even at the application level for now until we get the chance to redesign the GUI?
Inside 'System navigation', you should see the 'Gesture Navigation' option selected on the screen. Here, tap on the cogwheel icon on the right side of 'Gesture Navigation'. Next, toggle OFF the 'Swipe to invoke the assistant' switch.
Tap the gear icon next to “Gesture Navigation.” Note: The corner swipe gesture for Google Assistant is only available if you use gesture navigation. You don't have to turn it off if you use three-button navigation. Simply toggle the switch off for “Swipe to Invoke Assistant.”
Swipe between apps more intelligently Here's a smarter way to use that gesture: Instead of just swiping left or right on that bottom bar, swipe and move your finger up at the same time.
I don't believe this possible, but wouldn't it be easier to move the sliding drawer from the bottom of the screen and instead place at the top and slide down.
