Form-Master

Easily build big and bigger forms with minimal effort

This library aids in building bigger forms on-the-fly. Forms with large number of elements can easily be added programmatically within a few minutes.

Features

  • Easily build big and bigger forms with minimal effort
  • Fast color change as needed

Installation

Add this in your app's build.gradle file:

compile 'me.riddhimanadib.form-master:form-master:1.1.0' 

How to use

  1. Add a Recyclerview anywhere in the layout where you want your list to be shown (If confused, look at the examples in this repo).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:orientation="vertical">

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:id="@+id/recyclerView"

android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" />  </LinearLayout> 
  1. Add the Form Elements programmatically in your activity
// initialize variables mRecyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
 mFormBuilder = new FormBuildHelper(this, mRecyclerView);
  // declare form elements FormHeader header = FormHeader.createInstance("Personal Info");
 FormElementTextEmail element = FormElementTextEmail.createInstance().setTitle("Email").setHint("Enter Email");

 // add them in a list List<FormObject> formItems = new ArrayList<>();
 formItems.add(header);
 formItems.add(element);
  // build and display the form mFormBuilder.addFormElements(formItems);
 mFormBuilder.refreshView();
 
  1. Now build and run!!

Reference

Item Definition

Header:

FormHeader header = FormHeader.createInstance("Personal Info");
 

Regular Elements:

General object format

<Class> element = <Class>.createInstance()
  .setTag(101123151) // optional tag to uniquely identify the elemnt for later use
  .setType(FormElement.TYPE_PICKER_MULTI_CHECKBOX) // setting input type
  .setTitle("Pick your favourite fruit") // setting title
  .setValue("Banana") // setting value of the field, if any
  .setOptions(fruits) // setting pickable options, if any
  .setHint("e.g. banana, guava etc") // setting hints, if any
  .setRequired(false);
 // marking if the form element is required to be filled to make the form valid, include if needed 

Samples:

// email input FormElementTextEmail element = FormElementTextEmail.createInstance().setTitle("Email").setHint("Enter Email");
  // phone number input FormElementTextPhone element = FormElementTextPhone.createInstance().setTitle("Phone").setValue("+8801712345678");
  // single line text input FormElementTextSingleLine element = FormElementTextSingleLine.createInstance().setTitle("Location").setValue("Dhaka");
  // multi line text input (default 4) FormElementTextMultiLine element = FormElementTextMultiLine.createInstance().setTitle("Address");
  // number element input FormElementTextNumber element = FormElementTextNumber.createInstance().setTitle("Zip Code").setValue("1000");
  // date picker input FormElementPickerDate element = FormElementPickerDate.createInstance().setTitle("Date").setDateFormat("MMM dd, yyyy");
  // time picker input FormElementPickerTime element = FormElementPickerTime.createInstance().setTitle("Time").setTimeFormat("KK hh");
  // password input FormElementTextPassword element = FormElementTextPassword.createInstance().setTitle("Password").setValue("abcd1234");
  // switch input FormElementSwitch element = FormElementSwitch.createInstance().setTitle("Frozen?").setSwitchTexts("Yes", "No");
  // single item picker input List<String> fruits = new ArrayList<>();
 fruits.add("Banana");
 fruits.add("Orange");
 fruits.add("Mango");
 fruits.add("Guava");
 FormElementPickerSingle element = FormElementPickerSingle.createInstance().setTitle("Single Item").setOptions(fruits).setPickerTitle("Pick any item");
  // multiple items picker input List<String> fruits = new ArrayList<>();
 fruits.add("Banana");
 fruits.add("Orange");
 fruits.add("Mango");
 fruits.add("Guava");
 FormElementPickerMulti element = FormElementPickerMulti.createInstance().setTitle("Multi Items").setOptions(fruits).setPickerTitle("Pick one or more").setNegativeText("reset");
 

Set form element value change listener to get changed value instantly

While creating new instance of FormBuildHelper, add a listener in the constructor

Have a look at the example code for details

FormBuildHelper mFormBuilder = new FormBuildHelper(this, mRecyclerView, new OnFormElementValueChangedListener() {

  @Override
  public void onValueChanged(FormElement formElement) {

// do anything here with formElement.getValue()
  
}
 
}
 );
 

Set unique tags for form elements (for later value retrieval)

Just add a unique tag for the element

FormElement element = FormElement.createInstance()
  .setTag(2149) // unique tag number to identify this element
  .setType(FormElement.TYPE_PICKER_MULTI_CHECKBOX)
  .setTitle("Pick your favourite fruit");
 

Get value for unique form elements

Use the unique tag assigned earlier to retrieve value (See examples in this repo)

FormElement targetElement = mFormBuilder.getFormElement(2149);
 String targetValue = targetElement.getValue();
 

Check if form is valid

Use this method if you need to check whether the required elements of the form is completed

mFormBuilder.isValidForm();
 // returns boolean whether the form is valid or not 

Form accent color change

If you want to change the colors, just override the colors in your colors.xml file:

<color name="colorFormMasterHeaderBackground">#DDDDDD</color> <color name="colorFormMasterHeaderText">#000000</color> <color name="colorFormMasterElementBackground">#FFFFFF</color> <color name="colorFormMasterElementTextTitle">#222222</color> <color name="colorFormMasterElementTextValue">#000000</color> <color name="colorFormMasterDivider">#DDDDDD</color> 

Form UI change

If you want to change how the forms look, just override the layout xml named form_element.xml and/or form_element_header.xml in your project.

Just make sure to keep the ID name same as it is in the library for the components.

android:id="@+id/formElementTitle" android:id="@+id/formElementValue"
