I am creating a bunch of layout files and would like to preview roughly what they will look like on the Android. Is there a way to do this? and if so, what would be the best way?
Right now, I have to boot up the device and navigate to the Activity every time in order to see the layout. Also, it looks like the preview of Eclipse is not ideal as it doesn’t display things correctly (is this the best it gets?)
You can create a Dummy Activity, and set the intent MAIN to it.
When you want to test how that activity looks like, just setLayout on onCreate to the xml that you want to test and you will see it.
I also don’t trust in Eclipse preview, and AVDs are really slow, so I attach an android device and use a dummy activity to test layouts
