FormAwareInterface

public interface FormAwareInterface

Any class the implements this interface gets the form passed to it via the setForm(FormInterface).

This class come in handy when creating validation checks that need to be away of the form, especially when performing form wide validations like on the FormInterface.validate() method.

A good examples is the Field which implements this interface.

The following examples how this interface can be used to create form wide check.

public class BasicForm extends Form {

     @Override
     public void validate() {
         try {
             addCheck(new PasswordCheck(password1Edittext, password2Edittext,
             "Password should match"));
         } catch (FormException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         }
     }

     @Override
     public void save() throws FormException {

     }

}

A sample check that uses the FormAwareInterface interface

class PasswordCheck extends CheckSingle implements FormAwareInterface {
     private final EditText view;
     private final String errorMsg;
     private FormInterface form;

     public PasswordCheck(EditText view, String errorMsg) {
         this.view = view;
         this.errorMsg = errorMsg;
     }

     @Override
     public boolean run() {
         try {
             Map val = form.getValues();
             Object pass1 = val.get("password_1");
             Object pass2 = val.get("password_2");
             if (pass1.equals(pass2)) {
                 return true;
             }
         } catch (FormException e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
         }
         return false;
     }

     @Override
     public String getErrorMsg() {
         return errorMsg;
     }
     @Override
     protected TextView getView() {
         return view;
     }
     @Override
     public void setForm(FormInterface form) {
         this.form = form;
     }
 }
