I want to use a flex multi-page form on thew newly released Adobe AIR for android platform. I have a sequence of 30-40 screens on the form and the user can exit in between(storing the partial data entered). Is there a sample application for this, or can someone tell me the architecture to build such an application with lots of views? I want to store the data both on the device(sqlite) as well as a remote web server. The closest help I found was here

That's *a lot* of screens for a mobile app... – J_A_X Jul 12 '11 at 16:46

yep,thats the project requirement!! – iceman Jul 13 '11 at 03:22

even if it's a 'requirement' I would try to talk to the manager/UX person to try to simplify. Nobody in their right minds will go through 40 screens... But I digress... – J_A_X Jul 13 '11 at 12:01

@J_A_X: thanks for the suggestion..not a practical everyday app. some business workflow apps sometimes have such weird requirements for workers to be in compliance with protocols. A lot of the views are skippable though... – iceman Jul 14 '11 at 14:12

Architecture is up to the solution you're trying to implement. In this case, it's as simple as having a centralized data model somewhere that either binds or sets the data on each view so that it can be reused across all views.
If I were you, I'd look at RobotLegs to accomplish this using dependency injection since it leaves the door open for more complex architectural situations in the future.

There aren't going to be any examples out there to do exactly what you want. There are several Flex for Android tutorials out there though. Here are a few to get you started:
