[android-developers] Re: How should I design questionnaire on android?
Thanks guy. What I am thinking is #1 has very clear and clean coding style, each question stands their own activity and screen. #2 needs one super activity to take care of everything. If you were me, which way you will go?

Basically I need display these 10 questions to user, on the bottom of each question, it will display Next and Previous button. There 10 questions are coming from server, so I will have to create part of UI dynamically. Here are two solutions: 1. Create a Question activity, then make 10 instances of this activity. The problem for this one is, when we click Previous, we have to finish() current question activity, and recreate new instance for current question when we click Next from that Previous question. In this case, we are creating so many instances 2. Create one Question activity, put ViewFlipper into this activity layout, which will be used to mimic Next and Previous action. Which way is better? Any idea? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Why would you need an app to implement this? A simple web page would work just as well, be easier to maintain and also work on virtually any device, including iPhone, Android, tablets and those devices where the market wasn't installed. If you wanted to limit the questionnaire to just Android devices, you could check the agent. I guess a better question would be: Why try and kill a gnat with a sledgehammer? -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: How should I design questionnaire on android?
I did this just for practice and learning.. There is another question: where should we store and manage the questionnaire data? Solution 1: If we store the data in the HomeActivity, which is the entry point of the whole app, how are we gana share this information between question activity instances. Solution 2: We can store in a class named Controller, which has nothing to do with activities... all the question activity instances will come to this central controller get the question data and display. What I am currently using is solution 2, but is it a good and clean way to do so? Thanks guys.

You may want to consider a poor man's solution to questionnaires - use SharedPreferences nested preference screens... with some code to jump out from the last nesting level.
