ForgedUI is a visual design tool that allows Titanium Studio developers to quickly and easily design and develop app interfaces for iPhone and Android platforms.
Developers have continued to choose the popular Titanium Studio development tool to develop mobile apps because of the low-learning curve required and the ease of which a single code-base can be used to manage and maintain apps on multiple platforms. However, interface design has for some time now been holding back a large portion of productivity gains Titanium Studio affords the developer, and it is ForgedUI’s goal to free the developer from that obstacle and turbo-charge app development.
Its About Time-to-Market
With a visual environment and drag-and-drop style interface to aid the developer, ForgedUI improves app development productivity by reducing the time it takes to develop interfaces. With the reduced overhead required to develop interfaces, apps get completed faster and time-to-market is reduced.
Its About Productivity
The component based nature of ForgedUI allows for quick access to update and modify the property values of objects all from the same visual interface within Titanium Studio without touching any code. Just click, type or select the desired properties from the list available in the properties inspector window and when code generation is triggered, the code output will have the properties inserted. This saves time in typing code, reference checking, and having to sensitivity test.
Visual Graphical User Interface(GUI) Designer
Full featured “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) Editor supporting drag-and-drop component layout. Build interfaces in a snap visually without the complexity, tedium and overhead of writing code. Spend more time focusing on your app’s functionality and minimize time spent on pixel-pushing interfaces in order to get it “just right”.
Supports iPhone and Android Platform Projects
Supports designing interfaces for iPhone and Android platforms in multiple resolutions. Components scale and render proportionately following the designated resolution used. Simply create a new interface project, select the platform and choose the desired resolution to work on. ForgedUI then presents the appropriate workspace based on your selection making it easy to visualize the end result in real-time as you begin designing the interface.
*Currently includes support for Titanium Mobile API’s only. Tablet support is coming soon. Titanium Desktop API’s are currently not supported at all.
1-Click Code Generation
Generate Titanium compilable code with just one click that can be easily be integrated into exiting Titanium projects or run as new. Code generation is completely modular and is stored as a separate resource file within your Titanium project creating separation between functional and interface code. ForgedUI allows you to specify parent/child relationships between compatible components and intelligently generates code that conforms to the required layout and relationship rules.
Integrates Directly into Titanium Studio
Enhances work-flow and productivity by integrating directly into Titanium Studio. Once installed, ForgedUI implements itself as a perspective allowing the user to switch dynamically between the Titanium Studio and ForgedUI workspace. This allows the windows unique to ForgedUI to be toggled, to appear when needed, so as not to clutter the default Titanium Studio workspace. When ready to develop interfaces, simply switch perspectives to ForgedUI and the outline view, component palette, properties window, and designer view become accessible.
How to install ForgedUI
Open and login to your “Titanium Studio”, click the “Help” menu on top and click “Install New Software”
