Master/detail flow

[pawelantczak]

Hello.
Is there a possibility to use this lib with master/detail on tablets?
I want to have 2 panes in normal and 3 in existing multipane mode.
Thanks!

Hi,
So you need to have a method for replacing your content on tablets and getting back to the first?
In the next release I will unprivate the setFragment method, so you could create your master/detail flow

Hi.
Thanks for setFragment.
With this, nested fragments come into play.

Yup, making setFragment public will help also elsewhere - as mentioned in #39

Any predictions of when this feature (Master/Detail) will be available?

Congratulations for the great work. Helps a lot of our lives

[neokree]

well, for the next release I'm working a lot. Because I want to make a stable release and fix all issues is not simple. Sometimes I'm gonna update the dev project for minor fix, so you can use that instead using maven, if you need this feature now

[neokree]

I have released the 1.3 alpha to github. Actually I haven't test all new functionality and I'm working to create the example app, but now setFragment is public.

Can you explain how the setFragment works?

[neokree]

i'm writing the documentation in these days...

However, now there are three methods you can use.

setSection

The first is the setSection, that allows you to open a section programmatically.

setFragmentChild

The second is setFragmentChild, that have the target fragment and the title as parameters.

It replace the current content with the fragment, adding it into a stack.

When a child is opened, the toolbar menu change to the "back arrows" and if it is pressed, it returns to the primary section (or if user clicks on back button).

You can add how many child you want, for example:

• Section 1 -> child 1 -> child 2
• Section 2 -> child 1
• etc.

setFragment

You can use this method as the setFragmentChild, but it is not added to the stack, and the fragment added is totally alone with the content. So the toolbar not change and if user clicks on the back button, it works as the section with the Drawer pattern you have used.

[tsuharesu]

Hmm, so the setFragmentChild will be used to go from my Section 1 -> child 1. But how can I show the two fragments on the same Activity if my tablet is in Landscape mode?

Normally I use a layout with 2 FrameLayout and add the fragments. How can I do this if I can't change the layout? Would I need to create a activity_material_navigation_drawer.xml for this?

[neokree]

What do you mean with the "two fragments"?
Essentially, with tablets the setFragmentChild is setted into the right content.
The drawer will not change at all.

[tsuharesu]

I mean have 2 fragments on the same activity, without counting the NavDrawer. Like here http://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/fragment-ui.html

[neokree]

Well, if you want to create your master/detail fragment flow, you can do it, but this library implements a navigation drawer. When you use the gmail app with a tablet the navigation drawer will not be overrided.
