FormEntryController

public FormEntryController(FormEntryModel model)

Creates a new form entry controller for the model provided

Parameters:

model -

Method Details

getModel

public FormEntryModel getModel()

answerQuestion

public int answerQuestion(IAnswerData data, boolean midSurvey)

Attempts to save answer at the current FormIndex into the datamodel.

Parameters:

data -

Returns:

answerQuestion

public int answerQuestion(FormIndex index, IAnswerData data, boolean midSurvey)

Attempts to save the answer at the given FormIndex into the instance and returns one of three possible int attempt result codes:

• ANSWER_OK
• ANSWER_REQUIRED_BUT_EMPTY
• ANSWER_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATED

Side effects: When it returns ANSWER_OK, it mutates the TreeElement corresponding to the given FormIndex by setting its value to the given IAnswerData or by copying an itemset answer if the question is complex.

Parameters:

index - The index of the question/prompt that is being currently evaluated

data - The data to attempt to answer the question with.

Returns:

the attempt's int result code

Throws:

RuntimeException - when the question is complex and it has constraints. See inline comments.

saveAnswer

public boolean saveAnswer(FormIndex index, IAnswerData data, boolean midSurvey)

saveAnswer attempts to save the current answer into the data model without doing any constraint checking. Only use this if you know what you're doing. For normal form filling you should always use answerQuestion or answerCurrentQuestion.

Parameters:

index -

data -

Returns:

true if saved successfully, false otherwise.

saveAnswer
