The options that the standard UI palette, while OK, are not the most exciting. Before I go down the road of making some custom elements, I was wondering if there exist any UI toolkits for Android that people knew about? Or are there any theme toolkits (besides the ones included with Android) that make things look better or add more functionality?
I am looking for something like Twitter’s Bootstrap for Android. Or something like jQuery which makes JS better. Does such a thing or something similar exist for Android?
Yes, there are a lot of libraries available. Here are a few:
