I would like know:
1) If there is any Android UI library that looks just like the iPhone UI?
2) If there isn't any, I am planning on creating one as an open source project. Will I get sued by Apple?
Thanks,
The only Library I know is this one:
https://github.com/thiagolocatelli/android-uitableview
Its a copy of the UITableView from iOS (Like the IOS-version of a ListView).
To your other question:
I dont think that apple would sue someone for creating an open source library. They yould sue the Open source alliance for implementing it in android though.

We are looking for a way to create a simple mobile SDK for both Android as well as iOS.
The SDK is super simple and will only make API calls and open page in WebView.
Is there a tool or language (eg. Flutter/React Native) where we would be able to create the small SDK and then export it for both Android and iOS and add in their respective repositories?
Or are we going to have to create 2 projects in for example Swift and Kotlin?
Looking for advices and best practices. Thank you.
i am working on an android project and want to arrange my java classes into folders. eg. a folder for activity and another folder for fragments etc.
Can anyone tell me what is the standard way of doing it or give me any link to a sample project ? thanks
Take a look at this link which provides the android best practices - Android best practices. This link has additional information that will be useful during android application development.
I'm writing a cross platform app (Store App and Android) with MvvmCross. In his helpfull webcasts, Stuart Lodge shows how to use Picture Chooser Plugin to select an image from the device library. But, what about other types of files (text, xml and so on)? With a IMvxFileStore object it's possible to read text and binary files, but how to choose them?
There isn't a ready made solution for this that I know of - and 2 key mobile platforms really won't provide this (winphone and ios don't really do filepickers)
However, if you wanted to implement your own file picker interface on droid, wpf and winstore then it should be relatively easy to do:
define an interface in your core project
implement the interface in wpf and winstore using common dialogs
implement the picker in droid using simple directory listing code (or some 3rd party component)
register the components during app setup
There's an n+1 video on injecting services and plugins which may help.
I have some issues in working with Android layouts and make them adapt for all screen sizes..
I have found that there is an alternative solution : Android Bootstrap http://www.androidbootstrap.com/ for that and provide nice UI components (buttons etc...).
Since I'm developing natively, is this kind of frameworks won't make the App runs slower ?
Is this only a UI framework like for the web (Bootstrap from twitter) ? if not, can we use with it everything in Android (Camera, micro etc...) and Can we include some Jars like Zbar ?
Thank you.

It is not an "alternative solution". You still will need to be "working with Android layouts and make them adapt for all screen sizes", because Android Bootstrap does not change much related to that.
and provide nice UI components (buttons etc...)
It uses the same Android widget set that all other Android apps use.
is this kind of frameworks won't make the App runs slower ?
There is nothing in an Android Bootstrap project that would necessarily make the app significantly slower.
Is this only a UI framework like for the web (Bootstrap from twitter) ?
It is not even that. It is a starter project that demonstrates how to tie together a dozen or so open source libraries for Android app development. You can think of it as an extended version of the templates used to create new applications and activities in Eclipse or Android Studio.
This is not to say that Android Bootstrap is bad -- far from it. However, it does not resemble your description.
can we use with it everything in Android (Camera, micro etc...)
I have no idea what "micro" is with respect to Android. Since you are writing an Android application, just like any other Android application, you can use it with whatever parts of Android you choose to.
Can we include some Jars like Zbar ?
I see no reason why not.
It is very common for such templating engines not to have exactly most components you need. for android it is basicallly about adding support third party libraries to get the exact experience you need.
Thus you may want to consider adding more or lacking parts by leveraging some external libraries like those from HERE
today I came across the Path App:
And wanted to ask if its possible to implement this round menu in Android. Would be a Framelayout a good solution or what would be better? Also I heard hat somebody had crated a library which implemented almost the same thing. But didn't found anything.
Here are some open source projects that do it:
https://github.com/daCapricorn/ArcMenu - Apache 2.0
https://github.com/siyamed/android-satellite-menu/ - LGPL
