[android-developers] Re: Multi-Page Form with Fragments and Tabs
So I ended up implementing this by putting the switching logic in onBackPressed(); E On Thursday, February 14, 2013 6:28:54 AM UTC-5, Evan Ruff wrote: Hey guys, I was hoping someone could give me a little insight as to how I can make my multi-page form work a little better. Currently, each page (two pages) on my form is a separate fragment. I use the ActionBar Tabs to display the pages and then a Next button in each page that switches the tabs to the next page. All validation is done on the Save button on the last page. Everything is working well, but I'm having a little issue with the back functionality. I'd like to be able to create/pop back stack activities when the user switched. As it is now, he just gets tossed completely out of the wizard, not returned to the previous page (tab). How should I handle that? Any input would be appreciated! Oh, I'm targeting API 14. Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] Re: multi page form
If you want to use intents to have your pages then: 1) You can use intent.putextra to transfer the data from the fields and store it in the next activity. 2) Save the content of each page in SharedPreferences or a database. If you use the second method then the data will already be in the database. If you use the first one the at the end you will need to save all the data you have been passing around through Intents. There may be more ways with intents of which I can not think right now. Thanks On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 10:33 AM, ksmobilejava ksmobilej...@gmail.comwrote: Thanks all for help.
