Most color pickers out there (Such as the API demo, CWAC-Colormixer, and other freebies) just let you pick a color and offer few or no supporting features, such as
History of previously chosen colors
HEX display of color selected.
Palette of common color constants (white, black, blue, red, etc.)
I could develop these myself, but thought I'd ask first if someone already knows of any existing color picking dialogs with advanced features?
This may not cover every feature mentioned, but definitely hits many I did not: Keith's UberColorPicker is chalk full of features and far more powerful than the API demo or any other open source color picker I've seen.

EDIT: Word of warning though, it does not use layouts and can be a bear to adapt.

I am new to Android Application Development. As an Android Developer it is better to have a source, PDF file etc that contains the whole list of UI components of Android application with their names and screenshot.
For example:
Titlebar:
Navigation Side Menu:
Etc.
Before negative marking my question please note that i did lot of search for this purpose and right now i am at the Material Design, tutlane, and android developer official website. But the content there is spread and not collected to keep it as a pocket document. Can anyone have a source of such information to share here. Thanks !!!
See this site about material design. I think big part of views are described and showed there.material.io

Is there a tool or app which will optimize building xmls in android app, because right now the only way to check difference between designer's template and an app is making screenshots and using graphical editor for overlaying each over other.
I have some DIY tools, but I am interesting in ready to use products, does somebody know them?
Have you explored the developer options provided with the phones?
Enable layout bounds to know where a layout ends, its margin and padding
Profile gpu rendering:onscreen bars, to check UI thread overload.
Animation speeds: you can increase, decrease and disable animation.
I use this app to check if my UI is aligned properly.

I want to make a textView exactly like this.Can anyone help??
You need to create a background image with 9-patch tool, in such a way that the display text would be fit in well and also you need to take care of inner paddings.
Update:
Including my comment about why we can't use simple background image?
We can obviously use the simple background but only when you know the size of device in which your application are going to use "only", but in android no one can be sure about the size as it's coming into the variety of resolutions and display sizes. So if you would want to provide the image compatibility to all the sizes and resolutions then prepare such background using 9-patch tool

Sometimes I know that a GUI element looks like but I don't know the name used in Android. With most other GUI the tutorial would have a list of all GUI elements with a nice graphic besides it so you know what it will look like. Does something link this exist for Android.
Not entirely up to date, but this list is useful.
This is not exactly what you asked, but I think it might help:
Pencil Homepage (mockups)
Android Draw (android application to see your UI on a real device)
PSD file (sample elements of the UI)
Several utilities
Also, remember that in the world of android almost every brand and every carrier change things a little bit to make it "better". This means that many UI elements may look different or have different colors in many devices. Also remember that different android versions (1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2...) also have some differences.

In the new version(s) of Android such as version 2.1, default widget (music widget, news and weather widget, youtube widget) have been restyled to use a black background with a white radial gradient at the top in the middle. I've seen other widgets starting to use the exact same background.
However, I can't find this background anywhere. The widget design guidelines (https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html) still refer to the outdated background (or frames as they are referred to on that page).
How can I get hold of that background? Ofcourse, I could try to design it myself to make it look like the default style as much as possible but that's seems stupid. :)
If anyone is stumbling over this, Google updated their design guidelines and supplied an App Widget Template Pack
