Paper Abstract:
|
Mobile devices have nowadays several dimensions and resolutions. We expect apps to adapt to them and present an optimized interface for each device. Sometimes, depending on the user interface, we prefer to rotate the phone so we better visualize information. However, apps have to support the orientation change and be optimized for them. This demands programmers to develop two different layouts what makes them spend twice the time. In this paper, we present a desktop application and a Android Studio plugin that aim at helping programmers to quickly generate a draft for portrait and landscape orientation based on a simple input. The plugin additionally will verify which layouts orientations are missing for a given project and automatically create them. The decision for the supported controls is based on an analysis of controls used in top used applications. In the end of this paper we present the evaluation of the solution with examples of portrait and landscape layouts automatically generated by this solution. |
