The AIDE is a great app providing android programming for android itself. For now it can create application projects by one template ignoring "use tabs" options and using damn space instead! This app is a powerfull tool to provide projects for AIDE for your choise and your requests. Flexible template structure lets third party developers build their own packs and share it. Another big argument is that this app can provides easier usage of Design Support Library. It isn't just provides compatibility with older android versions but adds new features (such as Navigation Drawer).

App uses Lua as a base for templates. It lets developers to make templates that not only can create fancy app projects but add something to it (for example activity). Files in template are described by:

• "@/filename" - for internal template files (read-only).
• "#/filename" - for project destination files (read-write).

Script @/create.lua is executed on UI thread when template is first created. As an any UI thread method its execution should not take more that 5 seconds or the application will be considered as not responding. To communicate with users templates may (or may not) use graphical items (pre-defined group of android views). Items can be created and modified by UI thread only. Getters may be safely called by any other.

• arg0 string - id of an item to return.
• return - lua representation of item that was found by passed id.

UI thread only.

• arg0 string - id of a new item.
• arg1 string - title for new item (may be nil).
• return - lua representation of new item.

Available items:

2. EditText
3. Destination
4. Check
5. MultiChoose
6. SingleChoose
