can the layout editor be extracted from eclipse and run stand alone?

Question

Any way to use the android layout editor as a stand alone tool just to edit a single xml file outside of eclipse?

Answer 1

There is no independent way to create a user interface outside of an IDE. Most online programs use mockups, which help you build and design your user interface. Balsamiq in particular lets you then export the mockups in xml format.

You can then apply them to the xml layout files in Eclipse.

Hope this helps.
