Adaptive user interfaces

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a user interface by an application development environment, the application development environment providing the ability to allow authoring of a user interface that adapts to a screen size with any first abstracted size class value and any second abstracted size class value;
• creating an application including the user interface, wherein creating the application includes:
• receiving, by a tool displayed within the application development environment, a graphical selection of a first abstracted size class value corresponding to a width of the user interface and a second abstracted size class value corresponding to a height of the user interface from a predefined set of abstracted size class values provided by the tool, wherein the application is configured to:
• determine a screen size of a device, the screen size including a width corresponding to the first abstracted size class value and a height corresponding to the second abstracted size class value;
• adapt the user interface according to the screen size;
• and
• display the adapted user interface on the device.
