    Developing for Android

    Over the last few days I’ve been working on the UI for my first Android app.

    UI development is a pain. Sure, Java programming is more or less simple once you get the hang of it, but creating the UI is really annoying. No built-in drag and drop editor (as I am used to in Netbeans), which makes it rather difficult to create a nice looking UI. In comparison, I have been told from friends that the iPhone development environment has a drag and drop editor, which makes it much easier to create a visually pleasing app. There’s Droiddraw, which helps a lot, but it’s still a far cry from what Apple offers.
