# MobileViews: A Large-Scale Mobile GUI Dataset

**MobileViews** is a large-scale dataset designed to support research in mobile user interface (UI) analysis and mobile agents. It 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:**
```csv
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).

## How to Use

1. Download the dataset files (`.tar.gz` and `.csv`).
2. Extract the `.tar.gz` files to access the screenshot-VH pairs:
    ```bash
    # 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 corresponding index CSV file to match each pair based on their IDs.
