Hello in here.
I am really new in this forum and would like to say : Nice job.
keep on, this forum seems to be seems the right place for many enthusiastic android developers ( also for me, for example, as a beginner ) and also professionals.
I read some tutorials and created useless apps with the adt, emulated on the bluestacks .
This was for "getting started with android and java".
But now I must really do something, and this is far away from all tutorials, which I have found.
Lets go into detail:
Status now :
-------------------
There is a database with
- metadata about "how much activities a special application has".
- metadata about which ui-elements reside on each activity, with location, size, backcolor, forecolor ,fontstyle, etc
- metadata, which button click could cause navigation to another screen, leaving a ) parent screen for ever or b) possibility of returning to it
Requirements:
---------------------
I must write a runtime ui generator in order to make it available under android.
The runtime generator parses the metadata from the database tables and tries to apply them on each ui-element.
I have sample codes in other languages, but I was googling and read about some things, which appeared not to be so simple under android.
So, in general I would like to know, what of the following points is possible/impossible in android development:
- create forms ( activities ) at runtime
- create ui-elements ( buttons, textviews, etc. ) at runtime and assign them to the correct activity ( form )
- changing properties of ui elements at runtime
- switching forth and back among activities.
Each information is welcome.
Thx.
