I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
AFAIK there is no such builder yet for Android,
ReplyDeleteCheck out droiddraw and try to make the most out from Eclipse builder, those are the best and only interface builders. Anyway once you get in, you won't spend to much time creating lots of interfaces, as you will reuse them or the inbuilt components like preferencescreen.
When developing and thinking about layouts, think them as they were like HTML layouts.
App Inventor looks interesting, but it's still in beta and you need to request access:

It seems to have a nice interface for building Android UI's and actually generates other code such as networking and database code.
