I plan to develop my own Android and iOS app. I know how to write the code, but didn't learn UI design before. Can anyone recommend to me any tutorials or books on UI arts design for background, icon, layout, colors, etc?
Thanks!
I recently bought Mobile Design Pattern Gallery . It has alot of UI Patterns for mobile Apps.
You can also look at User Interface Guidelines for android
and iOS Human Interface Guidelines for IOS
The WWDC 2012 iOS User Interface Design video describes a few pitfalls that iOS developers should be wary of. As Frank said, the iOS HIG is a good resource for tactical design considerations, too.

I found these 3 app on Play Store and want to base my learning course on what tehnology are they make.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TreetopCrew.VirtualBeggar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outerminds.tubular
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nanobit.cheftown
So my questions are how to make it and focus my learning on technologies they use. What frameworks is best to use and stuff like that.
I know to make basics app till now, with standard design and fuctionality, but want to learn more.
I know that the last one is little more complex, but I have a free time and want to learn, so any help will be appreciate.
Thx
I would suppose you received down votes as this is not really a question for stackoverflow. As commonsware stated, it is best practice to reach out to the developers and see if they are willing to divulge any info on what they used to develop their apps. As well there are multiple resources out there for starting game development in android. One that comes to my mind is XDA, but even just using google to dig around.
Here is a link to a game development thread on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753131
And here is a link to the development thead mentioned in XDA

Stackoverflow is more designed and targeted to specific code problems/questions. It is not meant for individuals to ask for "how do i make this" questions.

I'm planning on making an app that can access posts from a WordPress blog and display them. I would start with iOS but I could use cross-platform frameworks too. I'm looking for something more programming-oriented instead of a drag and drop interface so that I can have extensive options for further development. What is the best code-based way to display blog posts from a WordPress site? I'm aiming towards something similar to the CNET app. Does anyone know how they made theirs?
I would just install a theme that is responsive, so that it's mobile friendly. By the way you asked the question, this sounds pretty ambitious. However, if you want to get your feet wet, consider looking into PhoneGap / Cordova perhaps.

I am a android developer and i have a very short knowledge of photoshop and other designing tool. I have not much interest in designing. But to make my own android app i will have to put myself in designing phase.
Please tell me what should i learn or practice so that i will make my application look better than now.
Please also tell me about font styling and font sizes. Which one is better android native font/styles or Robotic fonts? I mean to say that which one will look better.
Have a look at
The official designing guide here
A slideshow here
A pdf here
Just play around with the build in Editor (Eclipse). Place some buttons, set some settings and take a look at the xml-tab to understand what happens. That's the way how you can get basic knowledge.
For further information, read through the official documents: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/index.html

My company is evaluating an cross platform solution in mobile development area.
Monotouch/Monodroid looks like very promise in some way.
And my boss is very interesting about any well know/productivity Apps using Mono mobile?
I found 3 Apps:
http://icircuitapp.com/
from http://blog.xamarin.com/2011/10/26/java-to-ipad-in-2-months/
http://mobilebits.de/Blog/post/2011/01/05/Delayed-blogging-of-building-the-first-SoulCraft-Tech-Demo-version.aspx
from http://www.infoq.com/news/2011/01/MonoDroid
http://www.apple.com/ipad/business/profiles/medtronic/
from Anyone have experience with architecture for cross platform WP7 Android iOS mobile development (monotouch, monodroid, C#)
Anyone know famous Apps using that technical ?
This is a bad question.
I see duplicated questions in stackoverflow. None give answers.
Anyway, I pretty sure people interested in Monotouch/Monodroid has same question as mine,
it's real important to convince team to believe this solution.
Well-known is relative. OTOH you can browse Xamarin's app showcase to see some of the application that has been developed using MonoTouch and Mono for Android that were submitted back to us (I work for Xamarin) to be part of the showcase.
Note that this is not a question that fits stackoverflow goals (it's not about programming - but the applications). Consider sending an email to support#xamarin.com if you have similar questions.

i am a fairly new android developer. i wanted to ask you if there is an easier way to make GUI design in android?
i mean i always have to code the layout files which is very cumbersome and time-energy consuming. Plus the graphical layout provided by Eclipse is not at all helpful.
Is there a tool with which i can design the XML files....something like the tool offered in iphone development.
Android is provided by Google, there has to be a more sophisticated way of GUI designing.
thank you in advance.
While building your UI in xml is VERY straight forward, DroidDraw has helped me at least get started quickly.
There is a GUI for designing the layout in android
You can download DriodDraw
