Card Details Screen |
|
The Card Details screen allows
you to edit and add cards. You can also modify the columns for the
entire deck through this screen's menu.
Tapping on any row in the table updates the text field at the top of
the screen so that you may edit the contents of the category. When you
have made your changes either write an ENTER
or TAB character, or tap the 'Add' button to the right of the text
field. Editing Cards - When editing a card all of the categories are filled in with the current values for all of the catogories of the card. Hitting the 'Save' button saves any changes that are made to the values of the cards. Tapping the 'Cancel' button doesn't change any of the values for the card. Adding Cards - When adding cards this screen has been setup so that under normal circumstances you do not need to tap anything on the screen. You may begin writing in the value for the first category, and then writing an ENTER or TAB character. The value you wrote will be updated for the column, and then the next column in the table will be hilighted and you can continue writing the value for the next category, followed by an ENTER or TAB character. Once all of the columns have values you can add the card to your deck by writing another ENTER or TAB character. The screen will be reset so that you can add a new card. (in the screenshot of editng a card, the 'Save' button at the bottom of the screen would be 'Add'). |

Flash Card Review Session |
|
The review screen is allows you
to perform a review session. The screen alternates between showing you
just the 'Question' and then showing the 'Answer'. When the 'Answer'
side is displayed you answer whether you correctly remembered what the
card was. There are several settings on the top of the screen that tell
you information about the review session:

Both the 'Question' and 'Answer' part of a card can be arbitrarily long. As in the example to the right, when text is too large to fit on one screen 'page up' and 'page down' icons appear in the lower right hand section of the screen. You can tap on the arrows, or use the handheld hardware buttons to scroll through the entirety of the text. | ![]() |
When on the Question part of the
card writing any characters will cause a dialog to popup, so that the
answer for the card may be written in. Writing an ENTER character or tapping the Done
button on the dialog dismisses the dialog. If the answer written is
correct the next question in the review is displayed - otherwise the
answer to the current card is displayed. |

Multiple Choice Review Session |
|
The multiple choice review
option allows you to review cards in a multiple choice format. The
review session consists of a question phase where a question is
displayed, and an answer session, where the correct answer to the
question is displayed. In the screenshot to the right, the question is
from the State category (denoted by 'S:') of 'Colorado'. Four possible
answers to the State nickname are displayed below. Tap on the correct
answer, or use the handheld's hardware keys to answer to pick the
answer. If the correct answer is picked, a new question will be displayed. If the incorrect answer is picked, the screen will show the correct answer before going on to the next question. The example to the right is for a deck with four categories; each question will randomly choose a category for to answer. The hardware buttons can be used instead of tapping on the screen. |
