White Paper: How to rapidly create and customize compelling GUIs for Android-based devices

A new type of Android GUI solves the problem of similar look-and-feel Android GUIs by enabling rapid customization of the GUI. It delivers a distinctive look and feel to any Android product – without requiring the developer to understand low-level graphics APIs, or even modifying applications at the code level.

1As the Android platform gains widespread adoption, it’s incumbent upon device manufacturers and network operators to find compelling and innovative new ways to differentiate one Android-based device from the other. Of course, there are the basic factors that influence the success of a handheld device such as price, functionality, ease-of-use, network carrier, and brand name recognition to name a few. But the device’s graphical user interface (GUI) also has a direct impact on its success or failure.

Unfortunately, differentiating a GUI usually requires significant engineering investment and while the Android platform does offer basic GUI functionality, the platform doesn’t go far enough to facilitate a truly unique and one-of-a-kind user experience. This paper takes a closer look at one available GUI technology that allows for the rapid creation and radical customization of a GUI in any Android-based device.
