The key to stay ahead in a fast paced and competitive mobile market is to consistently deliver robust market solutions in a timely manner. This allows our customers beat the market expectations. We invest in developing robust plug-n-play component libraries which not only reduces development and testing time but also reduces maintenance cost.
Aftek has started Android competence center dedicated to developing reusable component libraries and utilities. The components are fast, memory optimized, easy to use and still extensively configurable.
Media gallery, as the name suggests, is a component which allows you to quickly create a multi-category media gallery which displays image and video files along with music. The component automatically scans the specified folder and picks up all the relevant media files. It provides various configurable effects like rotate, blind, bounce, zoom, fade and more. Duration between the slides can also be configured. Additionally, it provides film-strip like functionality to quickly browse through the gallery. You can embed it in a container or can run it in a full screen mode.
Most of the products / applications offer a plethora of tweakable settings, configurations and properties. Most of these are driven by simple configuration files bundled along with the application / product itself. However, it takes a significant amount of time and effort to design and develop such functionalities. Configuration Manager is a component which automatically loads the properties, renders the UI on the screen with provision to save / cancel the operation, and consequently alters the actual values as set by the end user. Options of showing radio button, text, number, date and check box are also possible with appropriate validations.
A substantial part of users are non-native English speakers; that is why your business application needs to be localized into the respective regional languages. However, it is no simple task to localize the application into multiple languages. Aftek has developed an Xliff manager component that solves this problem. It takes the resource / properties file as an input and generate the XLIFF (XML Localization Interchange File Format)for the other required locales. To help with the translation, the component also attempts to automatically perform the translation of the labels / data in other specified locales. Afterwards, Xliff can be sent to the Translator team for translation. Once the translation is done, Xliff can then be imported using the component. It would then perform the necessary configurations to add the support of other languages to the application.
Apart from the above listed; there are quite a few other components currently under design and development phase, which will be released shortly.
