Generating Android graphical user interfaces using an MDA approach

Due to the large number and variety of mobile technologies and web based-components, developing the same application for these different platforms becomes a tedious task. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach aims to provide an easy and efficient practical solution for developing a cross-platform application. In this work, we propose a new approach to the design of the user interface for mobile applications, which we apply to the Android platform. This approach will be generalized for all mobile platforms and web based components, by defining a language for the development of graphical interfaces, the Technology Neutral DSL (Domain-specific language) intended to be cross-compiled to generate native code for a diversity of platforms.
