Mobile Application Studio

Let's make MXIM more natural and simple as it is intended to be. Mobile Application Studio is initiated as an open source project to leverage the development community in the MXIM path.

This is desktop applicatoin developed in Adobe Air technology, works around to design mobile application in few clicks.

How It Works

Mobile Application Studio aims to deliver generated MXML (MXIM Markup Language) in response to drawn elements on stage. MXML is exported in simple *.txt format that further fed into MXIM engine to compile mobile application.

1. White area on stage represents your mobile screen. Just select desired element from toolbar and manage its properties like colors, size, name, position etc to design your mobile application.
   



2. Click export to generate MXML of your design and save it as *.txt format on your drive.



3. Here you go, just signup MXIM content server hosting to deploy your Mobile application. Following is screen shot of mobile Application generated from above MXML

Features

1. Light weight and plate form independent application developed in Adobe AIR technologies.
2. MXML in *.txt format can easily be imported in Mobile Application Studio.
3. Designers don’t have to bother about the programming of MXML, as Mobile Application Studio works for you.
4. Ctrl+D to duplicate an element in your drawing area.
5. After having properties of drawing object changed, just click on update to register those properties.
