As a starting point, see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ZBjlCRfz0
and read this article: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2...ok-at.html Both are about Android UI patterns and both use the official Twitter app as an example. I don't think that app uses web views; it looks like it's mostly list views. I can't be sure without seeing the source code though (which I don't think they ever ended up releasing like they had planned). You could check out the source code of the stock Android apps (Music Player, Email, Gallery, etc.) that come with the emulator to see how they do things. http://source.android.com/source/download.html There are a lot of tutorials at http://developer.android.com You could also use a visual program like Droid Draw http://www.droiddraw.org/ These visual layout programs still aren't the best, but they help in the beginning to see how XML layouts work and you can use the code generated to get you started. |
