animation-on-touch missing in many places

Reported by billdill...@gmail.com, May 11 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
in Chrome for Android, go to Bookmarks and tap a bookmark. Notice that when you tap it, there is a very short grey ripple rectangle animation. This is fantastic and a very nice detail. The problem is, tapping a bookmark is pretty much the only time this happens. This rectangle-ripple-on-touch animation should be across Chrome for Android (and honestly, across all of Android). When you tap a suggestion in the omni bar, it should do that. When you tap one of the menu items (New tab, New incognito tab, Bookmarks, Recent tabs etc.) it should do it. It's odd that this only happens when you tap a bookmark, that's very inconsistent. Please make this animation-on-touch standard across Chrome for Android, it really does improve the experience, it's great to get that visual confirmation feedback when you tap on something, tapping on something and not seeing anything, it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't have to be as long in duration or as 'pretty' as the bookmark ripple animation, just a simple flash would do the job

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
see above

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 58  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.0

This issue has been Available for over a year. If it's no longer important or seems unlikely to be fixed, please consider closing it out. If it is important, please re-triage the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience if the bug really should have been left as Available.

+tedchoc@ -- iirc we had another bug discussing this... do you recall whether this is a duplicate?

Most of our UI elements do have tap feedback (the default Android ripple highlight). It doesn't activate immediately onDown. If you let your finger lingering a bit on the UI element, you should see a ripple.

I don't recall whether this is a duplicate.  I know it's a trade off between performance of the action and giving the visual feedback.  We typically bias towards performing the action as soon as possible instead of showing a ripple but deferring the action the user wanted to do.

We could potentially investigate adding a system that would take the action but let the ripple show for some amount of time, but that might make the system feel slower.  It also could get our UI in weird states where we are performing some background action while the ripple is going on.

In cases where the UI remains on screen after clicking on it, we should ensure the ripple is there.  If this is mainly about UI elements that disappear immediately after clicking on it, then I don't think this is something we're likely to prioritize anytime soon.
I only filed this because, switching from iPhone to Android, this was one of the things I noticed right away: Chrome for iPhone has visual touch feedback everywhere but Chrome for Android doesn't, I'm surprised how much I missed it! Firefox for Android has it too...
