AndroText

AndroText is a model-driven development tool for the Android Platform. Provides rapid prototyping development process with the AndroText language (based on Xtext framework). Provides a fully automated generator, that generates an entire, simple Android application from scratch based on the models of the Android components. Integrates with Eclipse and comes with IDE support (content assist, error checking validation).

  • Features

  • Simple UI design
  • Simple View and Layout attributes
  • Simple navigation with widgets onClick, and onListItemClick, and intent calls (explicit and implicit)
  • Activity Menu and ContextMenu support
  • Preferences API support
  • Simple Data-layer design (Entity Model, ContentProvider)
  • The tool generates Activity classes, methods, simple logic.
  • The tool generates UI layout files (some selectors), Entity classes.
  • The tool generates Generate ContentProvider/DataBaseManager from entity models (single table handling, joins not supported)
