Description

This issue would add in the XML files for conjugation views for Scribe-Android. A conjugation view for Scribe-iOS can be seen below:

What it is that's pictured above is the keys from the 3x2 conjugation view along with their labels, which are positioned to the top left of each key.

We'll need the following, with the names of the fields coming from Scribe-iOS:

• A 3x2 table that is for first person singular, etc forms

FPSFormKey	FPPFormKey
SPSFormKey	SPPFormKey
TPSFormKey	TPPFormKey

FPSFormLbl	FPPFormLbl
SPSFormLbl	SPPFormLbl
TPSFormLbl	TPPFormLbl

• A 2x2 table that is for cases where we have four options

TLFormKey	TRFormKey
BLFormKey	BRFormKey

TLFormLbl	TRFormLbl
BLFormLbl	BRFormLbl

• A 1x3 table that is for cases where we have three options

TopFormKey
MiddleFormKey
BottomFormKey

TopFormLbl
MiddleFormLbl
BottomFormLbl

• A 2x1 table that is for cases where we have two options

LeftFormKey	RightFormKey

LeftFormLbl	RightFormLbl

• A 1x1 table that is for showing notifications to the user like when data is not in Wikidata

SingleFormKey

SingleFormLbl

• We also need buttons for going left and right
  • DisplayLeft
  • DisplayRight

This issue is completed once we have all of the above views, and then clicking the conjugate button will display the 3x2 conjugation view to prove that they can be reached within the keyboard interface.

Let's have a discussion of how best to achieve the above. In initial discussions, @angrezichatterbox and I agreed that XML files for this would make sense. In iOS all of this is within a single .xib file that also includes the relative positioning of all elements, but maybe we want XML files for each conjugation view that includes the keys and the labels for each?

Feedback very welcome!

I think we would require one XML for each XML. But if are able to work around with the keyboard view we might be able to do in lesser XML files.

Assigned :) Feel free to ask any queries in case of doubts.

Note from the sync, we need to make a decision on how these layouts are structured in code.

I think it would be better to have separate files as you suggested. Because now thinking about it. If we try to dynamically load the XML for the different views we might have empty spaces as the XML would be loaded first and then the canvas would draw over it. If we work dynamically we would be removing the spaces during the canvas drawing I suppose which would leave empty areas.
