Is there an app skeleton builder for Android?

I was using DroidDraw, working through the tutorials. Looking at the resulting XML and the Java code to tie them together, I was thinking that I could build a program to automate that process, so I started noodling something together. But before I go off and totally remak开发者_如何学JAVAe the wheel, I was wondering if something like this hasn't already been made before?

I'm thinking of something that takes the layout XML from DroidDraw, and outputs a Java application that works, and is ready for you to add your own code.

It seems pretty basic, has it been done and I've just not spotted it? I've tried Google searches, but I don't see anything similar.

The built-in UI editor that comes with Eclipse used to be pretty crappy - however, it's now getting better and better. Rev 11, which is coming out soon will a lot of new and useful features also. Give it a try - I think you'll find this is the best tool.

The resulting XML file you can take from DroidDraw requires no Java code.. you simply setContentView(R.layout.name) and that's it!

Just use IntelliJ or Eclipse to set up a skeleton project for you, and import the XML you created via DroidDraw.

There is App Inventor. I have not tried it myself but it sounds pretty much like what you want.

As far as I know it is a very visual approach to develop an application.
