Paper Abstract:
|
Today, smartphones are one of the fastest growing markets in the world where Android is receiving more and more attention. In the beginning when users of smartphones use Internet applications with generic WWW-Browsers recently there is a trend that they are been replaced by special applications. For each service in the Internet e.g. Android users need to download, install and maintain individual applications. However, there are too many service providers that have their own application that need to be updated regularly because new functionality is added. Many users lose control of this administrative process which bears additionally security risks. In this paper, we suggest a generic android application programming (GAAP) comparable to a middleware where the application logic and presentation layer is placed on the server. By this approach users do not need to update their installed application. Additionally, we suggest using android-like syntax and message format for layout and GUI following the KISS-principle (Keep it simple and stupid). For evaluation purpose we developed an application providing typical GUI elements for users to demonstrate the effectiveness of GAAP approach. |
