We're pleased to announce our new products and website.

New Products. New Website.

For the last few months we were a little bit silent, but not because there were nothing for us to do. On the contrary, we were quite busy upgrading our website to a newer system and at the same time restructuring our product offerings.

The DroidUX library was first released almost 2 years ago, on the 1st of August 2011 to be exact. Since the release, we've got good responses and very encouraging feedbacks from our customers.

The Best Has Got Even Better

DroidUX 2.0 Has Arrived!

We are pleased to finally announce the immediate availability of the new major release of DroidUX UI component library version 2.0.

In this first release under major version 2,  we bring some new and exciting additions to the collection of components in the Professional Pack.  Among the new additions are the ActionDrawer (a.k.a fly-out menu, sliding menu, navigation drawer, etc) which has become a popular UI design pattern used by many modern apps. Another popular component added in this version is the ActionPathMenu, a menu widget similar to the one used and popularized by the Path app.  We also release the ReflectionLayout, our unique component that draws a true reflection to its child view.  For a complete list of what's new in this release, please visit DroidUX Release 2.0.

In addition to the new components, we've also introduced some changes in this major release update.

Bring More Power To Your List

ANN: DroidUX 1.5 Is Here!

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest release of DroidUX UI component library version 1.5.

Thanks for all the feedback that we've received, requesting features that you'd like to see the most to be added into our products.  We really value our customers feedbacks.

In this release we introduce two new categories of widgets, and some other new widget and excellent features.

The first category of widgets is the Lists widgets.  We have so many requests for this type of widgets, and understandably so, considering that the list widget is one of the most used type of widget in mobile applications.  The Android SDK comes with a powerful ListView widget, however it misses some of the features that are becoming more common in the modern and connected apps, such as the simplicity to work with web images, the built-in capability to load data on-demand, and other powerful design pattern, such as the "pull-to-refresh" feature, popularised by great apps such as the Twitter, Pulse, and others.  The new DuxListView makes it extremely easy to implement those features with just few lines of codes. And this is just a start.  We are actively and continuously innovating and will add exciting new widgets and features for the Lists in the future releases.

Making It Easy To Design For Responsiveness

DroidUX 1.3 Is Now Available

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the latest release of DroidUX UI component library version 1.3.

In this release we're focusing on adding componets that help developers to design for responsiveness.  One of the most used UI controls/widgets to increase the perceived responsiveness of applications are the progress widgets.  This type of UI controls keep the users informed while the app is working hard on the background, thereby increasing the users' patience in waiting for the results, which have the effects of improving the app perceived responsiveness.  In addition to that, research has shown  that some visual tricks/illusions can further increase the perceived speed/responsiveness of the application without changing/increasing the actual performance/respond time of the app.  

Therefore we've added new category of widgets in the library: the Progress widgets.
