The Adobe Creative SDK Image Editing says that developers can customize the UI by editing xml files, but I don't see any xml files in the sdk directory. I asked for more documentation to Adobe, but haven't got any feedback. Please help.

Customization
You can customize almost all the visual aspects of the CreativeSDKImage UI by editing the style entries in the aviary_styles.xml, aviary_colors.xml, aviary_dimens.xml and aviary_config.xml files.
Most of the custom attributes you'll find inside the aviary_theme.xml and aviary_styles.xml files are documented inside the aviary_attrs.xml file.
The aviary_config.xml file contains all the customizable behaviors of the SDK like the colors to show inside the text tool or the drawing tool, the sizes of the brush tools, the custom crop ratios for the crop tool, the default font used in the meme tool, etc..
Inside the aviary_config.xml file you'll find a detailed description of every entry.
I think I'm little late to answer you but this can be helpful to others.
As I work with Creative SDK, I just learned how to customize UI of the Aviary Editor.
By overriding xml files, you can make changes in Aviary Editor's UI.

I have a small problem regarding the EmojiCompat library which was introduced some weeks ago.
There is a group of people (including me) who don't quite like the new Emoji style, Google has introduced with Oreo.
As I like the good old blob emojis, I recently started updating this emoji font.
Now my problem:
The Android developer page shows that there are two ways of using EmojiCompat.
The first one is using downloadable fonts and the second one is using this bundled emoji font which is based on loading font assets.
I already have a working implementation of EmojiCompatConfig which allows me to load any font I have in my assets-folder and it works with the font provided in the bundled configuration but not with my own font.
The section "Library-Components" [I don't have enough/any reputation, so I can't provide a link to this section...] says the original Noto-Emoji font (which my font is actually based on) is modified in some way (i.e. moving the emojis into another area and adding some "Extra emoji metadata" which isn't really specified anywhere in the documentation).
I already tried to look for some differences using the ttx tool provided by fonttools.
It looks like these modifications are the only ones made.
The modified version differs in both the meta-table not present in the default noto font and in the actual positions the emoji glyphs have - probably because they movede the emojis to the private area.
Does anyone know how to recreate these modifications so I am able to use my own emoji font instead of that new one?
I already tried to search for this issue but I didn't find anything that could help me.
There has already been another post regarding whether or not it would be possible to use the iOS emojis using the downloadable font approach but I don't think these questions are the same...
The script to modify an existing CBDT/CBLC emoji font can be found here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/noto-fonts/+/android-8.0.0_r17/emoji-compat/createfont.py
The "unicode path" that needs to be passed to the script should point to this data: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/unicode/+/android-8.0.0_r17
I have a series of images which I want to use as nine-patches to represent the different states of a button. Is there a command line tool to copy the border pixels from one .png to the next? It could save me an hour of clicking.
Android Asset Studio by Roman Nurik is set of tools to relieve some of the tasks required by Android developers and designers. For a while parts of it was in the Eclipse ADT plug-in: http://tools.android.com/recent/assetstudiointegration
Start here:

For Nine Patch related content you should look at Simple Nine Patch Generator:

How to convert psd image to xml code to reducing size of android application and work effectively and android xml design improve to application performance fast.
you can use these software for convert the psd to xml
http://www.psd2androidxml.com/
2nd is you can use the png file to drawable folder and use it
There are some ways to achieve this.
One way is to watch tutorials and learn how to do it by yourself.
The second way is to use some automated online tools, however they are not reliable, and you will have to correct the code manually.
The site that was mentioned by Nirav Shah, www.psd2androidxml.com, is a service, not a software. You send the PSD files to them, and they hand code them according to your specifications. It may cost more than the previous two solutions, but the result is better compared to automated online tools.
I am new to Android but not to Java. Is there already a little framework which allows me to create layouts, custom views and drawables programmatically using CSS sheets for padding, borders etc; just like Nimbus/Three20 for iOS ?
We've working on an "App-Studio" so all the views, lists etc. are rather dynamic, basing on the CSS the user created by a visual style template editor.
And if not, would you recommend to create such Android layout xml files on the fly and then load them from file, or is it better to create the drawables by hand ? We'can't bake such files just into the build because the user needs to be able to change the style in real-time on the device.
Thank you.
Partial ans only to:
And if not, would you recommend to create such Android layout xml files on the flyand then

I dont think you can create layout xml files on the fly and load them in the running app. They have to be created prior to compilation of the app.
Android uses Styles and Themes. Reading about these will help you generate some common patterns which you can use in your context. Once you have some patterns you can create these xmls using some automation tool prior to compilation (and avoid writing them by hand...:), funny computer changed the definition of by hand).
Does anyone know where to download a vector file of Google's green android robot?
The Android Brand Guidelines page does not have a link to it!

This question is rather old, but I had the same question.
The vectors I found weren't up to my standards (overlapping shapes, ungrouped paths, etc.) and they were mostly postscripts. You probably need an Illustrator file or SVG. I made a new one from a postscript version on the Android site. You can download the updated .ai or .svg here:
