Is there a tool or app which will optimize building xmls in android app, because right now the only way to check difference between designer's template and an app is making screenshots and using graphical editor for overlaying each over other.
I have some DIY tools, but I am interesting in ready to use products, does somebody know them?
Have you explored the developer options provided with the phones?
Enable layout bounds to know where a layout ends, its margin and padding
Profile gpu rendering:onscreen bars, to check UI thread overload.
Animation speeds: you can increase, decrease and disable animation.
I use this app to check if my UI is aligned properly.

I am new to Android Application Development. As an Android Developer it is better to have a source, PDF file etc that contains the whole list of UI components of Android application with their names and screenshot.
For example:
Titlebar:
Navigation Side Menu:
Etc.
Before negative marking my question please note that i did lot of search for this purpose and right now i am at the Material Design, tutlane, and android developer official website. But the content there is spread and not collected to keep it as a pocket document. Can anyone have a source of such information to share here. Thanks !!!
See this site about material design. I think big part of views are described and showed there.material.io

I want to make a textView exactly like this.Can anyone help??
You need to create a background image with 9-patch tool, in such a way that the display text would be fit in well and also you need to take care of inner paddings.
Update:
Including my comment about why we can't use simple background image?
We can obviously use the simple background but only when you know the size of device in which your application are going to use "only", but in android no one can be sure about the size as it's coming into the variety of resolutions and display sizes. So if you would want to provide the image compatibility to all the sizes and resolutions then prepare such background using 9-patch tool

I'm looking to write an application which allows an alternative lock screen for Android. I've seen posts around here on SO as well as applications in the Play Store, but I can't seem to find any APIs for doing it on developer.android.com.
How do you write a replacement lock screen for Android?
To summarize what others have said on here and what similar questions have asked:
TL;DR No, you cannot easily write a replacement for Android's lock screen.
The longer version: In order to write a lock screen replacement, you'd need to either create a custom ROM which bundles your lockscreen or you'd need to wade through undocumented Android and device-specific APIs to work around this problem. Here's hoping that Android M will allow us to write lock-screen replacements.

Are there any ready-made mobile HTML5/CSS3 templates available on the net (for webapps). I don't want to have a native look nor want a native look with webapps. But I want kewl eye-catching designs with a lot of colors. As I'm a developer I'm a super noob at designing. Let me know if you guys use any resources.
P.S.To be specific I needed it for holding two countdowns (placeholders) & 2 images.
I usually look at DeviantArt for UI ideas,
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=iphone+app+template
From there you could find one you like and code it.
Also look at this link for a backbone template,
http://html5boilerplate.com/mobile
A simple google search would have led you here...

In the new version(s) of Android such as version 2.1, default widget (music widget, news and weather widget, youtube widget) have been restyled to use a black background with a white radial gradient at the top in the middle. I've seen other widgets starting to use the exact same background.
However, I can't find this background anywhere. The widget design guidelines (https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html) still refer to the outdated background (or frames as they are referred to on that page).
How can I get hold of that background? Ofcourse, I could try to design it myself to make it look like the default style as much as possible but that's seems stupid. :)
If anyone is stumbling over this, Google updated their design guidelines and supplied an App Widget Template Pack
