How to present an Android project when only the layout has to be done

I have to make a new design for an Android App, but I only have to create the visual part (native Android). The app logic would be created by another guy based on what I present to him.
My question is? How would this be managed correctly? Do I have to make the XML's of each layout? How could I show the other person my progress?
What things should I consider when doing this?
Thanks

You need to mock the app first (create a prototype) as suggested by NoChinDeluxe. Then if you guys go ahead and decide to code it, the answer to your problem is separation of responsibilities. As Jeffrey said UI work is not only about layouts, but code as well. What I would suggest is that you and the other guy get together first and define some contracts (interfaces) that will allow you guys to split the work and work in parallel. Therefore, he can create the business logic of the app without worrying about the UI implementation. You, on the other hand, will have to mock that business logic he's implementing at the beginning so it doesn't block your UI work.

you could create layout XML files for all the Activities/screens, using resources (icons, etc as suggested by #NoChinDeluxe). However since you'd want to run the mock app, you might want to also create a "throw-away" Activity that allows you navigate to different screens of the app. Here you can add a number of buttons and when you click on each button, your app shows a specific activity. This way, you will be able to show your colleague all the screens you have created. I hope this helps.

This may not be what you want to hear, but creating Android layouts isn't a design task. They are closely tied to the code, and the design of them is going to depend on how the engineer chooses to implement the app.
Here's an example. You might have a grid with 4 cells. You could use a RelativeLayout, a LinearLayout, or GridLayout, or a GridViewLayout. Which will use choose?
I'd suggest providing your engineer with mockups and graphical assets where required. Let him / her take those and create the layouts. If you want to create layouts as a (visual-only) reference for engineering, great, but it's certainly a non-optimal tool for that task.

Things You will consider when doing visual part:-
You have to work on the resource folder of your application
Layout : All Layout you have to prepare.
Drawable : Images and drawable .xml.
Inside Values folder you will find
dimen.xml : For different devices dimen you can set.
string.xml : You can store string for hint or other purpose.
style.xml : For designing or theme or custom design.
color.xml : Color which are going to used in the application.

Dynamic UI Controls in Android

I am in a situation like i have to generate UI Controls like Button,Switcher,Progress Bar, Label text etc based on my list Items .
I am looking for a way to generate the controls in a View and add Views with generated controls in a Layout .
Can anyone give me a proper way to do that?

Why not to use Fragments?
Google docs about this here
and little tutorial here

You may want to take a look at the Metawidget source code. The Android version of Metawidget makes extensive use of generating Views and Layouts at runtime (e.g. see org.metawidget.android.widget.widgetbuilder.AndroidWidgetBuilder). You may even find Metawidget itself will suit your needs (it's designed to be embedded into projects for use-cases such as this).

Custom Android GridView

I want to create a GridView like this one:
But, I don't know how! I know how work with Android GridView, but not like this one.
Suggestions of library or any tip will be welcome.
Thanks.

I want to create a GridView like this one
The View you are referring to can quite easily be created without using a GridView. If your components (clothing, bags, shoes etc.) are static, you can use nested LinearLayouts (with weights) inside a ScrollView.
Suggestions of library or any tip will be welcome.
You can try StaggeredGridView: Link

Android UI design?

To be very honest, I am very new to android development. I really want to learn it.
I'm facing problem in UI design. I want to make something like the picture given below.
Now my question is the that the list of person is dynamic (received from a web service). Now how can I achieve that.
I'm guessing I have to make a XML layout of one and then load it in the layout using code?
i've done something as explained here.. but that is not enough. :(
Please help!
**** EDIT ****
I want this
to be dynamic. I have successfully created the above image strip in a separate XML.
now can it be used in the main layout dynamically like we used to do in case of User Controls in .NET?

You have to work with ListViews. Just watch the Google I/O ListView video for a good introduction. The actual layout of cells will be done in a separate layout XML file.

here is important for you..following link provide how to adjust image along with two item.
refere this

Here is the project file. For simplicity I used a SimpleAdapter. You can create your custom adapter to meet your requirements. Hope you like this ui... :)

How can I make a Android app look pretty?

When I place things like text boxes they are fixed in one position and I can't move them around easily.
How can I edit the style and maybe put an image at the top of the text boxes and give the app a neat and pretty little layout?
Thanks

Use RelativeLayouts instead of LinearLayouts (i assume that you are using them) which allow free positioning.
To modify the theme/colors, read Applying Styles and Themes.

Create 9-patch graphics and assign them as backgrounds.

I am unsure if this is what you are looking for,but you can arrange the object on the layout from the xml files in res/layouts/ folder.Do not forget to follow the UI guidelines provided by google for android development. Also you can create custom themes for you app if you do not like the default template.
