material-singleinputform

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

How-To-Use

Step 1: Your Activity must extend SingleInputFormActivity:

public class MainActivity extends SingleInputFormActivity {
	//...
}

Step 2: Implement 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)
		);
		//Add more steps here...
		return steps;
	}
	
	@Override
	protected void onFormFinished(Bundle data){
		//Get the form data
		String text = TextStep.text(data, DATA_KEY_EXAMPLE);
		//...
	}
}

Step 3: Theme:

<style name="YourThemeForSingleInputFormActivity" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
	<!-- Used for: input field background -->
	<item name="colorPrimary">@color/material_bordeaux_500</item>
	
	<!-- Used for: form progress color, status bar color (API 21+) -->
	<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/material_bordeaux_700</item>
	
	<!-- Used for: title text color, error text color -->
	<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/material_bordeaux_800</item>
	
	<!-- Used for: details text color, step indicator text color -->
	<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/material_black_54</item>
	
	<!-- Used for: input text color, input widget color -->
	<item name="android:textColorPrimaryInverse">@color/material_white_100</item>
	
	<!-- Used for: input widget color -->
	<item name="android:textColorSecondaryInverse">@color/material_white_70</item>
