Abstract

It is an efficient development practice for user interface (UI) developers to exploit some examples for their reference. We propose an approach for automatic recommendation of UI examples for mobile app development. We first introduce a search engine for UI components of mobile applications based on their descriptions, graphical views and source code. From the search results, an algorithm, density-based clustering with maximum intra-cluster distance (DBCMID), is proposed to automatically recommend examples. The comparison between the recommended examples using our approach and existing summarised examples shows that for 83.33% summarised examples, there are completely/partly matched examples in our recommended results. In addition, 39 new valuable examples are found based on the search results of six queries.
