“…Metaprogramming, or generative programming, is a programming technique in which a computer program is written to generate or manipulate another program or itself, in order to solve a given task [Cordy and Shukla 1992]. Among the different types of applications that can be developed through metaprograms, we can cite program transformation, detection and application of design patterns, program refactoring and code generators [De Oliveira et al 2004] [Papotti et al 2012]. In addition, it is constantly evolving and its principles are used at increasingly higher levels of abstraction, as in model-driven software engineering [Štuikys and Damaševičius 2008].…”

A common, repetitive, and time-consuming task in the construction of Android applications is creating interface field validation. Although there are some tools that address that issue, they are not intuitive and require effort for configuration, which may hinder their use. This paper introduces Convalida, an annotation-based library that generates code automatically at compile time for field validation of Android applications, thus allowing the developer to focus on the implementation of business rules. A comparative study considering other field validation tool and a manual approach is also provided and shows that our library has improved the final code.
