Abstract
Producing software compels programmers to have in-depth knowledge of several
programming languages, tools and frameworks. This time-consuming process demands
dedication and mastery which are typically the foremost reasons most novice programmers
give up a little into the software development process. This project seeks to eliminate
learning programming languages and tools to create Android applications and reduce the
time used in creating Android applications.
This paper presents a comprehensive implementation of a code generator intended
for skilled and novice programmers to build Android applications through drag and drop.
Likened to other code generators, using this code generator does not require knowledge of
a programming language. A key advantage of using this code generator is the ability to
download the source code of the generated Android application for customization, a feature
that other code generators do not provide.
Regarding outputs, the code generator creates an APK that can be installed on an
Android device or uploaded to the Google Play store, backend and frontend pages with a
database to save all the data of the generated Android application.
