Multi-page data data update form

[SteveBee]

Still getting my head around the 'Android' (indeed smartphone) way....

I have a data update form with various controls (oops, 'views') on it... including text boxes that *may* go to multi-line (or not). So what is the best way in this paradigm/form-factor to allow a form to gracefully "overflow"?

If it were an ASP.NET web page I could let it overflow in the vertical... or I might use tabs (if there were discrete 'sections')... or I might even use a wizard... or...

But this is just a relatively simple form, where some of the controls/view could take up a bit of space - so, how best to display?

What about the use of a horizontal gesture, R->L to move to page 2, 3.. (and vice versa)? (And do I use Erel's "sliding panels" for this?)

Interested in insights into this completely foreign paradigm

cheers
Steve

SlidingPanels supports horizontal gestures.
ScrollView should be usually used to allow such overflow. Note that you will not be able to use horizontal gestures over ScrollViews.

SlidingPanels supports horizontal gestures.

So *would* be suitable for L/R & R/L gestures, yes?

ScrollView should be usually used to allow such overflow. Note that you will not be able to use horizontal gestures over ScrollViews.

Pls excuse my ignorance, but how then do you 'scroll' with ScrollView?

(light bulb on)
ScrollView scrolls in the vertical?
I see...
