I'm an amateur android programmer and I really like to code. My main difficulty is to make apps nice.
I came across a simple app, but at the same time, nice: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.linksaude.bulas
I would like to know if this app has been designed with some specific plugin/add-on for Eclipse or whatever. It seems to be so consistent and beautifully designed that there must be an answer to simplify the building process of such apps.
Thanks!

Pinterest One of the newest contenders for the most beautiful Android app UI design is the social scrapbooking Pinterest. From a carefully implemented sign up process to a full-scale display of photos, Pinterest added enough detail to the user interface to keep the images and content at the center.
Learning how to make an Android app isn’t easy. If you want to build one from scratch you have to develop an understanding of code, which can make the app development process time-consuming. The good news is there are plenty of resources available online that can help.
You can create a prototype of an Android app for free using Builder Now. To start, choose an existing app template or start with a blank template > Pick the category for your prototype e.g. travel or social media > Select template e.g. Tripadvisor > Review your prototype How to create an Android app for my website?
When building Android apps, you’ll need to download Android Studio. This is the official Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Android, and it was developed specifically for creating apps on the mobile OS. The development environment has a ton of features that simplify creating Android apps.
I think what you're impressed with is the consistent color theme of the application. It looks like its designers carefully overrode the default design of Android widgets with their own custom scheme.
There is NOT any plugin for development tools that will help you achieve this; however, there are many external tools.
Here is a tool to generate styles for the action bar (the navigation bar at the top): http://jgilfelt.github.io/android-actionbarstylegenerator
A tool to generate custom colored Holo widgets: (Holo is the theme in modern Android platforms): http://android-holo-colors.com/
And my #1 favorite resource for this type of customization, this website: http://www.stylingandroid.com/
These three are more than sufficient to customize an interface like the one you linked to above. Good luck!
