Any framework for android to generate layout from html - android

I want to use a html file in android for generate a layout from html.... any one knows the any framework available in for android

There're several reasons why you need that and what you can do.
If you are very familiar with HTML and want to build an Android App, you can use Android WebView which can use the Chrome engine internally.
If you're looking for a way to write portable code and have it deployed to Android and others like iPhone etc., then take a look at the tools you'll find like mobilehtml5 or appshed. With the html5 standard, most of these portability tools are based on this.
Finally. I must say, that I'm not aware of any tool that actually generates xml and java from html.

Is it possible to make an android app through android studio using html 5 code?

I have made a website using HTML5.
However, I'm trying to make the app using the CSS, JavaScript and HTML I used for the website. Is that somehow possible?
I must use Android Studio.
Nope, you can't do that.
Android Studio is based on Java (logic) and XML (design).
XML and CSS are a little bit similar. You have paddings and margins too.
However. Prepare yourself to put work into the project.
But why do you need an app when you can also show the same contents in a website that works on way more devices? You can also use a WebView to show your website in the app.
If it must be native and you can't use a WebView, just rebuilt the design, Check out the material design guidelines, stick to them and your app will be easy to use for the users and look awesome.

Xamarin runtime "plugins" or scripts

We are designing a generic Android application using Xamarin Forms. At the same time, we need some texts that the user enters to be treated a bit differently for some of the customers, ie. run them through a custom transformation.
Instead of having to build a different version of our generic app, it would be great if we could define those transformations as an external dependency, as a pluggable "dll" or a text file with a script, maybe something like MoonSharp.
Does anyone have experience with something similar and how to achieve that in Xamarin Forms?
We did end up using the MoonSharp framework and the Lua scripting in two different projects, one on Xamarin, and another one on a classic windows service C# application. It was a great tool and gets the job done!

To code css using android native language

Actually i want to design my app through css and html and want to code that css generated elements throgh android code.
Like suppose i have created a button in css.Can i use my android native language to code that button?
Officialy, java is the development language for android. So, if we are being really strict, you should use whatever tools java and the android sdk give you to create and style your elements (you can read about it here). But of course, there's always more than one way of doing stuff, and thanks to the Adobe overlords, you might just have what you are asking for.
Phonegap is a highly powerful opensource framework that allows you to code you entire app using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Once you are done coding, phonegap does its magic and generates the app for you, so you don't need to touch a single line of java code.
So, basically, I don't think there's a way of using CSS in pure native android code (if there is, please feel free to share). But if you really want to use it, Phonegap is the way to go (I've used it before, it's cool)

Android Cross-Platforming

I want to know more about Cross-Platform. I'm currently working on my thesis and decided to make an Android Application but not all target users uses Android device. So, We've come up with an idea to Cross-Platform the android application.
I have read the same topic but it didn't get to me too well. iOS / Android cross platform development. I want to know if there is another way than using the frameworks discussed in the link.
I want know what is the best/shortest way to cross platform a Android Application?
Cross Platform tools are in my opinion not a good idea at all. Android is Java, and iOS is Objective C. Android can use NDK to use a C/C++ library so theoretically if you did most of your code in C/C+ it could be used on both sides. I think two natives is more in order. Study NDK to see what could run on both devices. Lets say you built your app as a C++ Library except for UI interactions. Then in theory the library should work on both sides. C/C++ a lot easier on iOS than android however.
Also it really depends on the dependencies your app will have. Lets say you want to use a library but its only available in Java or C++ how does this effect your decision.
You might also consider designing your app so that it just captures data on the devices and the actual processing of the data takes place in a web service.
Another way is use Mobile Web HTML5 Framework like Phonegapp, Sencha touch and more.
Although web technologies don’t perform as well as native, but it is a useful thing that you can try.
See Choosing Mobile Web HTML5 Framework and http://operationproject.com/2011/adventures-in-html5-part-one/
Android application are apk files that are basically zip file that contains dex/odex files and all other resources that you may wish to add.But I think you can use any coding language to develop as long as you have IDE that converts your code to apk and dex .And most important of all your programming language must support corresponding api or must have something similar to cross compile.The reason Google used Java for Android was they felt it is convenient to do it(read it during case Google v/s Oracle)
Personally I feel cross-platform is good since it increases the developers base and understanding of the System (here Android).And I think the same analogy would go with other Systems as well.

How to make a code portable?

I am developing an application on Android and this application will be transported on IOS.
My question is simple: how can I make a transportable code? Are there rules to simplify the copy of the code in another language?
Have you seen java2objc - a tool to convert Java code to ObjC code.
You can also try something like MonoTouch (for iPhone) and MonoDroid (for Android), which allows you to develop in .NET.
iOS applications are mostly written in Objective-C. Android applications are mostly written in Java. You can't copy the code into another language. You must port your Android Java code manually to Objective-C/Cocoa-touch. If your Android application is web based, you can simply re-use the same HTML in a webview. iOS and Android apps work differently and users expect a different experience, so understanding the differences will help you in creating easily ported code.
