Ability to use AppInventor as Only A Layout Tool #128

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently, the "best" way to layout an android application is by manually 
editing the XML; which is just awful.  AppInventor has provided an excellent 
interface to generating this information and it would be excellent if you could 
use AppInventor to prototype your layout and then continue on to much more 
intensive application programming using the generated layout.

Having this capability to export into the standard java constructs (layout and 
block code) would expand the usefulness of AI into a full prototyping tool that 
seamlessly allowed migration into the full set of programming functionality 
when the limits of AI had been reached OR when wanting to eliminate the 3.5 MB 
of overhead.

Being able to generate java code from the AI project would be awesome (if human 
readable/understandable), and also good for teaching reasons. Could also be 
used as a starting point for more advanced applications if generated code is 
good enough.
