Abstract: Dynamic program visualization tools helps to reduce the cognitive load of students in learning programming. However, to authors' understanding there is no dynamic program visualization tool that can be used in a widely available smartphones. In this study, we design a Dynamic visualization engine for java programs that is integrated to java code interpreter that runs on android smartphones. This tool will be valuable to students who do not have access to computers. It can also increase productivity in smartphone usage among lower secondary schools students.
