Abstract
Device simulators and methods for using the same are disclosed. In some embodiments, the device simulators are capable of permitting accurate pixel to pixel and inch to inch mapping between a simulated display and a display of a target device. Web application development tools utilizing such simulators are also disclosed. In some embodiment, such web application development tools provide a convenient method to convert electronic document source files to interactive document web applications for multiple operating systems and form factors.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- converting an electronic document source file to an interactive document web application with a processor;
- rendering a user interface in a web browser, said user interface comprising at least one device simulator preview area, the device simulator preview area configured to simulate a display of a target device;
- rendering a preview of said interactive document web application in said device simulator preview area;
- applying, with said processor, at least one modification to at least one source file of a said interactive document web application in response to at least one command input through said user interface;
- after said rendering, compiling said interactive document web application with said processor into at least one native application installer suitable for execution on at least one target operating system;
- and
- prior to said compiling, refreshing the preview of said interactive document web application to reflect said at least one modification within said device simulator preview area.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory having web application development tool instructions stored thereon, wherein when executed said web application development tool instructions cause said processor to:
- convert an electronic document source file to an interactive document web application;
- render a user interface in a web browser, said user interface comprising at least one device simulator preview area configured to simulate a display of a target device;
- render a preview of said interactive document web application in said device simulator preview area;
- apply at least one modification to at least one source file of a said interactive document web application in response to at least one command input through said user interface;
- after rendering said preview, compile said interactive document web application into at least one native application installer suitable for execution on at least one target operating system;
- and
- refresh said preview prior to compiling said interactive document web application, so as to reflect said at least one modification within said device simulator preview area.
