A single EditText instead of a classical form.
This Library is a library implementation of flavienlaurent's "Single input form"
Very inspired by the Minimal Format Interface.
Implement any form with only one EditText. The idea here is to pack a multiple input form in one field. As a result, the user input is easier and a more fluent process.
Also, TextSwitcher got completely rediscovered to animate the form: title, error message. It's very basic but simple to use.
Here is a video demonstrating a sample form: http://youtu.be/A99g6NDvn_w
| E-mail input | Password error | Date picker |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
| TextStep.java | TextStep.java | DateStep.java |
If you are using Gradle just add maven central repository and add this line to your projects build.gradle
compile 'com.heinrichreimersoftware.singleinputform:library:1.0'
Just let your Activity extend SingleInputFormActivity.java and implement the abstract methods:
public class MainActivity extends SingleInputFormActivity{
private static final String DATA_KEY_EXAMPLE = "example";
@Override
protected List<Step> getSteps(Context context){
List<Step> steps = new ArrayList<Step>();
steps.add(
new TextStep(context, DATA_KEY_EXAMPLE, InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT, R.string.example, R.string.example_error, R.string.example_details)
);
...
return steps;
}
@Override
protected void onFormFinished(Bundle data){
String text = TextStep.text(data, DATA_KEY_EXAMPLE);
...
}
}
You can customise the form's style in your styles.xml:
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">
<item name="sifStyle">@style/AppTheme.SingleInputFormStyle</item><!-- reference -->
</style>
