Method, apparatus and system for supporting polymorphic elements at run-time in portable computing devices

摘要

Various methods, apparatuses and systems for supporting polymorphic elements at run-time in portable computing devices are provided. One embodiment includes a development tool that can be incorporated into an integrated development environment. (IDE) The development tool is configured to detect when a programming instruction corresponding to a polymorphic element is received. Upon such detection, the developer operating the IDE is prompted to provide specific mapping information such that an application that is finally generated using the IDE avoids or reduces the use of polymorphic elements and thereby reduce computing resource stresses on the device on which such an application is ultimately deployed.
