input-view
Generates a view for users to input information into the system. For more information, see Input Views in Building Bixby Views.
This key and its child keys must be defined in an *.view.bxb file. This file must be in an appropriate locale-specific resources folder or the base folder.
Be aware of which components you are adding to your layouts and layout macros, because different components are available under different views. If you call a layout or layout macro in a view and that layout specifies a component that the view does not support, Bixby Developer Studio will throw an error. Similarly, you should consider which layout macros are being called within a layout itself. The same layout macro invoked in one component might not be valid if used within a different component, as the list of supported child components could differ.
You can read the Designing with Bixby Views Design Guide and the Building Bixby Views (UI) Developers' Guide to check if your layout is using the correct components for that moment and that view.
For example, the components you can use in a layout macro for the summary of selectable items in selection-of (which you define under the where-each block) are different from the components you can define in a layout macro for the details of each item (which you define under the main render block). The components you can specify in a highlights are also different than the details of each item.
Example
input-view {
match {
MyDuration (duration)
}
message ("How long of a duration?")
render {
duration-picker {
initial-value("#{durationBetween(addDuration(now(), 'PT1H'), now())}")
type (MyDuration)
}
}
}
