Fortunately, there are a many tools that take the pain out of developing Android, but they don't readily give up their secrets. To help with your user interface, the Android Graphical Layout Tools make laying out complicated Activities easy, and the HierarchyViewer does a great job of identifying complexity in your layouts.
