碩士 === 世新大學 === 資訊管理學研究所(含碩專班) === 104 === Nowadays, Smartphone has already been an essential part of our daily life. The demand for mobile application software (APP) increases dramatically. There are three basic types of APPs, native apps, mobile webs, and hybrid apps. Native apps have the ability to leverage device specific hardware and software, such as camera, GPS, caender, contacts and so on. Besides, native apps have better performance and Intenet access is not strictly necessary. The disadvantages of native apps are generally the lev-el of difficulty in developing and maintaining them. The app creator must master a set of technologies, including programming language, SDK, IDE, to name a few. For the prupose of enhancing the efficiency and lowing the barriers of app development, we present a rapid developemnt environment. Developer can use the drag and drop de-sign tools and adjust the relat-ed attributes to build an app prototype. We also apply the concept of expandable module which enables developers to share their works. Our system consists of three parts, UI editing, code generation, and auto building. The ouput of our system include a complete Android project and an installable apk file. For those users who have no coding capability can use our GUI interface to create an APP easily. The experienced programmers can use our system to build the initial framework for their app, and can do advanced development based on the generated android project. System evaluation has been done by practical creating the English Introduction of SHU app, our system can effectively reduce the entry barrier and im-prove the effectiveness of app development with respect to the use of appInventor and EZoAPP.
