With this tool, you could take an existing app that took perhaps months to develop and in a day or two, change all the logos and cosmetics, and resell it as your own work. I don't say that you personally would do that, but it's certainly possible. What you are stealing is the time it took to write all those layouts and handlers and providers and so on. Let's say then, that someone comes out with a really nice way to handle some ui issues. It's very likely that they spent quite a bit of time evolving those ideas, trying things and throwing away a lot of things that didn't work. Sure, these ideas, this design, can be imitated, but writing the app that imitates them takes a lot of work. Unless someone uses your tool. In essence, your tool allows someone to pretend that they did work that was in fact done by someone else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
