Mobile Quiz - This application is part of the author's "30 Days of .NET" initiative to develop 30 mobile applications in 30 days. The source code of the application is included in order to help programmers new to Windows Mobile development write applications in .NET.
Today we are going to look at another classic goal in Mobile development, data collection. You might need it for a line of business application, for example a field service application where workers need to inspection equipment and fill out a questionnaire. Or you might need it in a mobile poll taker application. You could even use it in a trivia game. There are few applications actually that couldn't take advantage of a question and answer system like the Mobile Quiz.
There is so much potential with this application. I hope you can see the concept and see the potential here. There are a world of possibilities here. Hopefully this application will help you get ever so slightly closer to realizing some of them.
The UI is a straight-forward and clean design, which was easy to make but should appeal to users. Everything is meant to be intuitive and self explanatory. Users should simple be able to look at the screen and get it.
The first screen is an quiz introduction form. All we have here is some eye candy, the name of the quiz, and some basic menu options: Start, About, and Exit.
After this the user is presented with the questions screen. This is the main meat of the application.
Questions are pulled from an XML file which could be retrieved from a remote server.
It's a snap to open the XML file and read in all of our data.
DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
// read quiz data file
dataSet.ReadXml(@"/Program Files/MobileQuiz/quiz.xml");
One thing that I decided was important was to avoid showing modal MessageBox dialogs often. Instead
I choose to use a label, place it at the top, set it's background color to Info, and use it accordingly. This works out great and I think is a much better user experience. Data entry on a mobile device is a huge pain, and if you can take a dialog out of the equation that's a good thing.
