How can I make a Android app look pretty?

When I place things like text boxes they are fixed in one position and I can't move them around easily.

How can I edit the style and maybe p开发者_如何学Cut an image at the top of the text boxes and give the app a neat and pretty little layout?

Thanks

Use RelativeLayouts instead of LinearLayouts (i assume that you are using them) which allow free positioning.

To modify the theme/colors, read Applying Styles and Themes.

Create 9-patch graphics and assign them as backgrounds.

I am unsure if this is what you are looking for,but you can arrange the object on the layout from the xml files in res/layouts/ folder.Do not forget to follow the UI guidelines provided by google for android development. Also you can create custom themes for you app if you do not like the default template.
