Hi all,
I was looking for some guidance for an app I am building. I
am confused as to whether I should be creating fragments, creating
custom components shown in tabs or creating basic layouts with tabs
and handling all interaction in a fragment or activity.
My use case is:
- Multi-form data entry.
- I have an inspection which records general information and can have
many sub-inspections
- Each sub-inspection has a number of schedules
- Each schedule has a number of questions
I have currently built this as:
MainActivity - inflates an InspectionFormFragment, handle an ActionBar
etc
InspectionFormFragment - creates the GeneralDetailsForm in a Tab and a
Tab per SubInspectionForm and
GeneralDetailsForm extends LinearLayout - and adds a number of
TextView, Listview, Button components attaches Adapters etc
SubInspectionForm extends RelativeLayout - has two parts: 1. a
TableLayout holding a bunch of components for the questions; and 2. a
ListView which holds all the schedules for the sub-inspection based
on the selected list item the questions in the TableLayout should
update.
Hope that makes sense.
So my custom layouts GeneralDetailsForm, SubInspectionForm actually
build a layout and have onClick handlers etc but I'm not sure if that
is the correct place for this interaction handling.
To learn how to build good UI's I have heavily been taking a steer
from the Honeycomb Gallery app and the Google I/O 2011 app. I worried
I have been blinkered by their use of Fragment and I am missing a
simpler solution.
Would really appreciate guidance from a more experience Android
developer.
Thanks
Joe
(I appreciate this is a "it-depends" kind of question but hopefully
the discussion will shake loose the correct route for me to go down)
