You can also try this  If you like the model view controller concept and fast prototyping then I would say you will like the idea behind it    SimpleUi   https   github com bitstars SimpleUi    The generated UI  code below      The complete code to create this Android UI     I use it in real applications  not only for fast prototyping or dialogs and its well tested over the years  The concept is based on the model view control principle and for most common scenarios there are ready to use components which automatically look correct on any device  I don t say it should be used for any UI  e g  listviews should be done by hand  but for most usecases this should be quite handy    Oh and feel free to fork it and improve it further if you want

Not saying this is the best way to go  but its good to have options  Necessitas is a project that ports Qt to android  It is still in its early stages and lacking full features  but for those who know Qt and don t wanna bother with the terrible lack of good tools for Android UI would be wise to at least consider using this

This is an old question  that unfortunately even several years on doesn t have a good solution  I ve just ported an app from iOS  Obj C  to Android  The biggest problem was not the back end code  for many most folks  if you can code in Obj C you can code in Java  but porting the native interfaces  What Todd said above  UI layout is still a complete pain  In my experience  the fastest wat to develop a reliable UI that supports multiple formats etc is in  good  ol HTML

Allow me to be the one to slap a little reality onto this topic   There is no good GUI tool for working with Android   If you re coming from a native application GUI environment like  say  Delphi  you re going to be sadly disappointed in the user experience with the ADK editor and DroidDraw   I ve tried several times to work with DroidDraw in a productive way  and I always go back to rolling the XML by hand     The ADK is a good starting point  but it s not easy to use   Positioning components within layouts is a nightmare   DroidDraw looks like it would be fantastic  but I can t even open existing  functional XML layouts with it   It somehow loses half of the layout and can t pull in the images that I ve specified for buttons  backgrounds  etc   The stark reality is that the Android developer space is in sore need of a flexible  easy-to-use  robust GUI development tool similar to those used for  NET and Delphi development

DroidDraw seems to be very useful  It has a clean and easy interface and it is a freeware  Available for Windows  Linux and Mac OS X  I advice a donation   If you don t like it  you should take a look at this site  There are some other options and other useful tools
