In the next few days Anywhere Software will release a new product named Designer4android.

SS-2012-04-11_11.06.04.png


Designer4android (D4A) is a tool for Android developers that develop with Java.
It helps developers build the user interface with a visual designer and designer scripts similar to the ones available in Basic4android.

The output of D4A is the 'bal' layout file and Java classes for the compiled designer script. :)

Erel, that sounds like very good news in deed, how much will it cost and have you got documentation that could be released prior to the product launch.


Regards

Sounds interesting.

On a related note i'm experimenting with DroidDraw to see if it will enable me to (easily) create some xml layouts for a library.

Unfortunately it seems as useless as the Eclipse Android graphical layout editor :(.

Sounds like the exact same thing I was looking for this morning. The search came up blank. May well be purchasing if the price is 'special' ;)

another string to the anywheresoftware bow

Well Done!

will it support displaying the actual graphic assigned to say a view within the abstract designer? That is the only piece missing from the new and wonderful designer scripts release.

If the answer is yes, can the output bal be used in a B4a project and will there be a discount for current B4a owners

thanks and great work !

What sort of time scale we looking for this Erel, I think it could be usefult for a task I'm doing at moment. Currently having to edit the xml, making read-only/not read-only and all that. Then test, then tweak again. taking forever. Is this the sort of thing this tool id for?

This tool is not for Basic4android developers. It is for Java developers. It is similar to the designer component that is already included in Basic4android.

I'm creating xml layouts for use with a library. Kind of java, wasn't sure if it was what I'm looking for?

Thanks

They are preset layouts for notifications using remoteviews

If there is a way to create layout in b4a and pass to lib then I could have a go at implementing that too. I'm all ears ;)

cheers Erel, nearly there with the layouts ( i think ). Can't wait to finalize them as it's the main thing holding back release of library.
