ABSTRACT
We introduce a novel method for creating mobile applications, integrating the Android SDK into PlayGo, a scenario-based behavioral programming framework. The method allows creating mobile applications simply by using a visual GUI editor, and then incrementally "playing in" scenarios that construct the application's behavior. This allows the developer to focus on the behavior and interface rather than on the syntax and code.
