Other convert html to designer data

[Robert Grimmett]

Is there anything out there that would allow me to take an existing html layout that i have done and create a .bal file for the designer. What i am doing has become rather tedious and also needing to figure out a way to work with all of the variables involved without creating a huge global variable list. Normally i can work with this in VB rather quickly with these items however the tasks involved require alot of data collection thus alot of edittext areas there is already an active web page system in place however i need to complete an app for tablet use to collect data in areas where there is no internet connection.. i have most of the underlying code and layout done, just looking for a faster way of creating these forms (my codemonkey moved on and decided learning to program wasnt for him)

Android native UI is not based on html. There is no simple way to convert a html page to native UI. You can however load the html to a WebView.

You do not need to create a variable for each view. Only for the views you want to access.

I was afraid of that. The purpose is to be able to work with the data or create new data offline thus i need to create a layout comparable to the one on the website.

I knew about not needing to put items like the labels in there if i wasn't accessing them, however i was looking for away to possibly split up my working variables outside of the global area. Thanks for the reply..

Before i continue on the task of development, I want to make sure i understand what you said correctly.
Any of the variables that I will need to access no matter what layout I am working with, will need to be put globally?

If you want to access a view (control) from the code then it needs to be declared as a global variable.
