MobileViews: A Large-Scale Mobile GUI Dataset

Read the paper

MobileViews is a large-scale dataset designed to support research in mobile user interface (UI) analysis and mobile agents. Our first version — MobileViews-600K — contains over 600,000 mobile UI screenshot-view hierarchy (VH) pairs, collected from approximately 20,000 apps on the Google Play Store.

Dataset Overview

The dataset consists of multiple .tar.gz files containing screenshot-VH pairs and corresponding CSV index files that map each screenshot to its VH:

• MobileViews_0-291197.tar.gz and MobileViews_index_0-291197.csv: The first set of screenshot-VH pairs, containing IDs from 0 to 291197.
• MobileViews_300000-522301.tar.gz and MobileViews_index_300000-522301.csv: The second set of screenshot-VH pairs, containing IDs from 300000 to 522301.
• AppMetadata.csv: App metadata for 15,000 apps from the Google Play Store, retrieved in June 2024.

Index CSV Columns

Each index CSV file contains the following columns, mapping each screenshot to its corresponding view hierarchy:

Column	Description
Image File	Filename of the screenshot (e.g., 0.jpg)
JSON File	Filename of the view hierarchy (e.g., 0.json)

Example:

Image File,JSON File
300000.jpg,300000.json
300001.jpg,300001.json
300002.jpg,300002.json

Each .tar.gz file contains both the screenshots (JPG) and view hierarchy files (JSON).

AppMetadata.csv Columns

The AppMetadata.csv file contains detailed information about each app. The columns are as follows:

Column	Description
title	App title
installs	Number of installs
minInstalls	Minimum number of installs
realInstalls	Real number of installs
score	App score (rating)
ratings	Number of ratings
reviews	Number of reviews
histogram	Rating distribution
price	App price
free	Indicates if the app is free (True/False)
offersIAP	Offers in-app purchases (True/False)
inAppProductPrice	In-app product price
developer	Developer name
developerId	Developer ID
genre	App genre
genreId	Genre ID
categories	App categories
contentRating	Content rating (e.g., Everyone, Teen)
adSupported	Indicates if the app is ad-supported (True/False)
containsAds	Indicates if the app contains ads (True/False)

How to Use

To access and use the MobileViews dataset, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   Use Git and Git LFS to clone the repository and ensure that large files (such as .tar.gz) are correctly pulled from Git LFS:

   git clone https://huggingface.co/datasets/mllmTeam/MobileViews
   cd /path/to/MobileViews
   git lfs pull
   

2. Download and Extract the Dataset Files:

   The .tar.gz files contain the screenshot-view hierarchy (VH) pairs. Use the following commands to extract the files:

   # Extract the first set of data
   tar -xzvf MobileViews_0-291197.tar.gz
   
   # Extract the second set of data
   tar -xzvf MobileViews_300000-522301.tar.gz
   

3. Use the CSV Index Files: Each .tar.gz file has an associated CSV index file that maps the screenshots to their corresponding view hierarchy files (JSON). You can use the index CSV file to match each pair based on their IDs.
