Why single_page.haml and index.haml?

[rcarr...@gmail.com]

For the mobile web app, it seems that index.haml is used, but for embedding in a native app, single_page.haml is used. Why not just have one used in both places? If there's a difference, I'd be happy to contribute to the docs so that it's made clear.

Ah, I think I understand it a bit better now. I'll throw up some docs on the Wiki in the shell page.

index.haml is used to generate the index.html which includes all the pages, this will ensure that all required page templates are loaded in one shot for the mobile web app (for better performance).

For native apps, there is an option to either use the shared html or use the native implementation. Thus, in case of native apps, the pages are generated separately for each page (like conversionForm.html in the sample app). Secondly, to allow native transitions, each page HTML is part of a separate Activity/ViewController even if you want to use multiple pages as HTML.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Vivek! Yeah, that's what I had figured out (and what I just put into the wiki).
