Android User Interface Development: Validating and Handling Input Data
by
Jason Morris | July 2011 | Beginner's Guides Web Services
Android provides an excellent toolset to capture many different types of data from the user, while also providing loose coupling between your application components in the form of Intent structures. By using several smaller Activity classes to capture data, while at the same time abstracting the functionality to capture different types of input, you'll be able to more easily reuse the input capturing Activity classes, not just within the application, but in other applications as well. Further, by registering the Activity correctly, you'll allow other applications to override, or make use of your Activity implementation, allowing the users to select their preferred capturing mechanism.
This article by Jason Morris, author of Android User Interface Development: Beginner's Guide, provides tips regarding taking input from a user, and how to keep this experience as painless as possible. This article investigates the different input widgets Android provides and how to configure them best, depending on the situation. Also, when everything else fails, how best to inform your users that what they are doing is wrong.
