Findings


Doesn't look like there is a default framework
Use inputType to control what goes into a text view
there are many default input types

You can write validators and attach them to each field
You can do this through metadata java annotations
or attach them through code
Come with the idea of a form or a fieldset
Then when the button is pressed use the fieldset validators

Use setError on the TextView to indicate errors
