I have tried DroidDraw and the Eclipse layout editor and both seem very difficult to create anything other than very simple layouts. I find myself dropping back to the XML file to be able to manipulate it.
Has anyone found any good tools to design the actual screens? I am not looking for a mock-up tool... but an actual tool to create the XML layouts.

I am going to develop an Android Application but before developing it i needs to have MockUp for the Android Application,so is there any way to design MockUp/GUI Design tool for the Android Application?
I know about DroidDraw tool , but i think it is not the exact way to prepare Mockup for the android application.
I have already referred this SO Question , but overthere i just found all the tools for the I-Phone only. So please feel free to share with me if you have/found any !
I am about to embark on developing a mobile application for both the iPhone and the Android based phone.I have most of my gui mock ups written down on a white board and some in my head. I need to put them down on paper so I can relay my designs to others in my team.I was wondering what the best on-line gui mockup tool I could use? I have a lot of experience with Visio and I truly like it. I want a tool that would be web based so I could collaborate with others on the team. Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy gui mockup tool that I could use?

I don't know, however, how to get any children elements from it. Here's a visual example of what I'm trying to accomplish: public class Menu extends LinearLayout. When my Menu is created, how do I get references to the two MenuItems. Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am finding that my layouts tend to look great in one orientation but if I change the phone's orientation, things are a mess. For example on one screen I have 6 large buttons that look great in portrait orientation but if the user changes phone orientation, those buttons get cut off in portrait.
Do I need to code two layouts for every screen - one for portrait and one for landscape? That would be such a waste of time.
I am working on a project for which I have formulated a fairly complex layout but I have no earthly idea how I could implement such a thing. Attached is an image of what I'd like it to look like, can anyone think of a way to generate such layout?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhile programming on Android, I end up writing a parent activity which is extended by several others. A bit like ListActivity. My parent activity extends Activity. if I intend to use a Map or a List, I can't use my parent activity as superclass - the child activity can only extend one activity obviously. As such I end up writing my parent activities with the same logic for Activity, ListActivity, MapActivity and so forth.
What am I looking for is some sort of trait functionality/design pattern which would help in this case. Any suggestions?
Does the Android platform lend itself well to a particular style of UI programming like MVC or MVP? Most of my UI experience is with spaghetti code on a very old embedded device or in GWT with MVP so I do not know where to start.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have done a small app for the ADC2 and now i want to make a free light version for the Android market and one full version that will cost some cents.
My question now to all who have done something similar: How have you designed your application(s)? I have thought about a few solutions to this problem:
1.) Duplicate the code in two different android projects Not a very good idea, duplicate code is always bad.
2.) Create some sort of library to use in two different projects. With this i could share the business logic of my app, but not the activities (at least this is what i think) And using the activities from one project in another project would be great.
3.) Include all needed code (business logic, activities, ...) from one project (the full version) in my light version. This way i would achieve some sort of new "view" to the code basis. This would be the best solution i think, but i do not know how to achieve this.
So to everybody who has done a full and light version of one and the same app: How have you done this?

Personally I'm focused on using JSON (and not XML) and I try to make it the less verbose I can. But I'm probably missing a lot of things.
I'm a web designer by nature, accustomed to changing resolutions and font sizes, but I'm unsure how to design for the Android platform without knowledge of screen sizes, especially when the screen rotates from portrait mode to landscape.
Should I just do generic things that tile, or is there a way to design things of static size?
By this, I mean for the GUI and graphics, not element nodes of the XML.
As there is JUnit test tool for Desktop Java is there some thing similar in android so one can apply on android also.

View 12 Replies View RelatedThis was working fine when I first started the project. I am referring to editing/adding to the strings.xml file. It used to display a design and XML tab that allowed me to update it. now its just showing up as a table. Any ideas? I don't understand how I could have messed this up. I did check in another project of mine and I am getting the same results so I don't think it has anything to do with the XML.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I wanted to design myself because I REALLY didn't want another thing sticking off my windshield or out of a cup holder. This a the 2nd version of it and I am already planing the next version to be a solid black Plexiglas instead of the clear. I didn't count on the tape I used to be gray. Take a look and let me know what you guys think.
