I'm looking for a nice looking, open source Android app.

The main focus: design in XMLs.

I'd like an app that its design (layouts) is visible in the dev environment - not "programmaticaly" built. A real "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG)!

I'd really like to learn from such an app!!!

My main problem is that I can't seem to create a nice looking design for my app.

When I use the designer, things just don't add up correctly.

When trying to create a nice title, things get smudged. (Some apps don't even use the title but create a title as part of the content view, like Google's IO sched).

When viewing the design on different screen sizes, the buttons run over each other on small screens and have too much space on large screens.

Don't get me wrong. I invested a lot of time to find solutions to each and every problem, but I feel that I could have done things a lot easier and my app could have looked a lot nicer.

I saw some apps, like Google's IO sched, and they indeed look nice. The problem is that they do a lot of UI/layout/design calculation "programmaticaly", like the title and the main view. You can't really see the design without running the app. Very hard to develop this way. Too long cycles to get to a nice looking app.

Ideas?

Thanks.

It takes a lot of time to create a good design. And a lost of practice. I suggest you use demo app in the Android SDK folder on your hard disk. You can also do reverse engineering of the app you like and see how it was made. Of course, this method is not ethical or legal if you use it to copy the app or you produce your own app from the stolen code.
