Could someone point me to links and/or ideas on how to design a button similar to the android market “Install Button” using XML alone. i don’t want to create something from gimp / photoshop and use it as android:src.

If you notice the installed button it has a white rectangle stroke, black rectangle border, filled with blue.

You can do that with a linear layout with a white background, and a button with blue background inside. Give smaller values for button size, so it fits inside to leave some space so white borders are shown. User a selector for button, to change it’s color in different states. More about selector here
