Abstract:
In this paper we present MobiDev, a development kit that allows the creation of applications for mobile devices by developing directly on a mobile phone and by using paper-based sketches as a starting point for creating the user interface (UI). Although programming mobile applications on a computer has a well defined development structure, developing a mobile application on the mobile phone instead offers some advantages: (1) it allows people without access to a computer but to a mobile phone to create mobile applications and (2) it supports the development of applications which employ enhanced mobile phone features that are not fully supported by current desktop development environments. Users draw UI sketches on paper (similar to a paper prototype) as the initial step in an evolutionary UI development process to speed up the development of the application and to minimize the text input effort.
