I was under the assumption that view classes on android were harder to work with compared to a UIView, which can be subclasses and re-worked with new behavior.

I was under the assumption that view classes on android were harder to work with compared to a UIView, which can be subclasses and re-worked with new behavior.
Or, at least that's the reason my friend gave for not developing an interface beyond the default UI for his app.
- ydant 16y agoI have no experience with iOS development, but in Android you can extend classes for views and provide custom behavior for most things you'd want to customize. You also can configure quite a lot of the look and feel of the interface entirely using configuration files - this includes animations when you do things like touch buttons, border styles, colors, fonts, etc. I find it fairly easy to work with. We could do with a good GUI for designing interfaces, but it's not horrible once you grok the layouts work. Google have acknowledged publicly that the current UI builder in Eclipse isn't good, but there's no public schedule that I'm aware of for when that will be improved.
