From the help on my previous post, I will develop my application using Buttons for navigation. Now I want to ask about the design/layout approach to take. Again this is a tool for my service technicians as they run their route and do service work.
Can I create a short panel to show the Tech Name and Date across the top of the screen? Then a large panel to consume most of the screen; however there are actually many panels that I will toggle on/off based on user input. And finally a panel at the bottom with the navigation buttons. Stated differently, I am using a short panel for a common Heading for the application and another short panel for a common navigation-type Footing. Then the bulk of the screen will have large panels for display/data entry, but only one is visible at a time.
How do I control how the panels are stacked or ordered on the display?
Am I going down the right path here??
(note: this is being developed for a 7" tablet only; too much data for anything smaller)
