How can I suggest a feature to the Google Android team?

Question

I have been looking for a easy way to add borders to custom made Views (Compounds or whatever), and the only answer I found was that there is no built-in support for that. Instead there are suggestions that you should add Views on top/below the View you want borders on and a bunch of others really messy ways to get borders.

Coming from the .NET-environment that is pretty brutal to have to do ugly workaround and "hacks" to get something as simple as borders.

Thus, I want to suggest that feature to the Android team. I'm not sure how they can have missed it, but it is surely missed =)

So, is there any official way to suggest a feature in the SDK/framework? I have looked around a bit, but can't comment on their blogs, no e-mail addresses as far as I can see.

Put your suggestion at google code.

You can easily create a Drawable subclass that draws whatever border you want and reports the padding for that border, and sets it as the background of the view you want to have drawn with a border. Or set it on a FrameLayout to have the border placed around the other views inside of the frame.
