<body>
<p>
Accordions serve a similar purpose to tab panes and card panes, only showing one
of a collection of components at a time. Like tab panes, accordions provide built-in
navigation support. However, rather than representing the content as a stack of
components, they are presented like the folds of an accordion, with headers for
navigating between panels.
</p>
<p>
The following application demonstrates the use of the <tt>Accordion</tt> component.
It is a simplified online checkout process consisting of three pages - shipping
info, payment info, and order summary:
</p>
<application class="org.apache.pivot.wtk.ScriptApplication"
width="260" height="380">
<libraries>
<library>core</library>
<library>wtk</library>
<library>wtk-terra</library>
<library>tutorials</library>
</libraries>
<startup-properties>
<src>/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/navigation/accordions.bxml</src>
</startup-properties>
</application>
<p>
Note that, like <tt>TabPane</tt>, the default behavior of an accordion is to allow
the user to freely navigate between panels. However, in this example, the user is
only allowed to progress forward in the accordion by pressing the "Next" button.
This restriction is imposed programmatically by the application, since the content
of a subsequent page in such a checkout process may depend on the user's entries on
a previous page. The user may freely navigate backward at any point, however.
The last panel simulates the order confirmation by displaying an
<a href="activity-indicators.html">activity indicator</a>.
</p>
<p>
The BXML source for the example is shown below. It includes a number of external BXML
files that define the content of each panel:
</p>
<source type="xml" location="org/apache/pivot/tutorials/navigation/accordions.bxml">
<![CDATA[
<navigation:Accordions title="Accordions" maximized="true"
xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml"
xmlns:navigation="org.apache.pivot.tutorials.navigation"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<Accordion bxml:id="accordion" styles="{padding:0}">
<bxml:include bxml:id="shippingPanel" src="shipping.bxml" Accordion.headerData="Shipping Information"/>
<bxml:include bxml:id="paymentPanel" src="payment.bxml" Accordion.headerData="Payment Information"/>
<bxml:include bxml:id="summaryPanel" src="summary.bxml" Accordion.headerData="Summary &amp; Confirmation"/>
</Accordion>
</navigation:Accordions>
]]>
</source>
<p>
The Java source is as follows. The primary logic for maintaining the enabled state
of the panels is defined in the <tt>updateAccordion()</tt> method; an
<tt>AccordionSelectionListener</tt> is used to enable or disable panels when a
selection change transition is about to occur, rather than waiting until it is
complete, to provide a smoother user experience:
