  text: Integrating apps on mobile devices into applications running on other devices
    is usually difficult. For instance, using a messenger on a smartphone to share
    a text written on a desktop computer often ends up in a cumbersome solution to
    transfer the text, because many applications are not designed for such scenarios.
    In this paper, we present an approach enabling the integration of apps running
    on Android devices into applications running on other devices and even other platforms.
    This is achieved by specifying adapters for Android apps, which map their services
    to a platform-independent service interface. For this purpose, we have developed
    a domain-specific language to ease the specification of such mappings. Our approach
    is applicable without the need to modify the existing Android apps providing the
    service. We analyzed its feasibility by implementing our approach and by specifying
    mappings for several popular Android apps, e.g., phone book, camera, and file
    explorer.
