Mia-Studio development booster for Android native applications

The generation booster for Android SDK illustrates the Mia-Studio IDE possibilities for UI layer development assistance.
'UML/IFML to Android' generation rules propose to generate some parts of native Android application from one UML model (www.omg.org/spec/uml/) associated to one IFML model (www.omg.org/spec/ifml/).
Generated code is an operational android SDK application, but code needs to be completed by developers for :

• getting advanced Ui look and feel
• implementing some ui treatments, especially Business services layer invocation

Generation rules significantly reduce development, in generating some boilerplate code for

• data cache management (SQLLite database and associated DAO)
• activities/fragment definitions (xml and java files)
• uis actions definitions (java classes)
• navigation flows
• list(master)/detail flow implementation with two small/wide screen strategies

Generated code organization is compatible with following Android IDE :

• Android Project Structure from IDE Eclipse Luna with Android Development Tools plugins
• Android Structure from IDE Intellij Android Studio

Generation rules can be extended/customized to fit your Android code patterns, with Mia-Studio IDE.

Mia-Studio License requirements

Used together with Mia-Studio 9.2 generation engine, the generation rules allow to :

• generate data cache layer from UML models with Mia-Studio Community licence (no Mia-Studio commercial licence required)
• generate ui layer from IFML models with Mia-Studio Enterprise commercial licence.
