Creating the Attachment Pager
Having modularized the category picker, it's time to turn your attention to the attachments. When you implemented the file selection, you left a Toast
in place to show where the code would normally attach the selected file to the ClaimItem
being captured. This next stage will be to create a Fragment
that will encapsulate the previewing of the Attachment
objects. You'll also move much of the attachment logic into this Fragment
. Although the code to connect to other applications and request permissions is commonly placed in an Activity
class, Fragment
classes are also capable of performing the same actions, and the attachment pager is a perfect opportunity to show this off.
This Fragment
will show a pattern where the Fragment
interacts with the Activity
that it belongs to without directly sending events upward. The instinct of most developers when encountering a Fragment
for the first time is to use the pattern in the template where the Fragment
can send events...
