Android layout render without compiling

Question

I'm new to developing with Android, and the biggest new thing is the way the UI is rendered (relative to other views instead of absolute locations and sizes). As a result, I've been experimenting a lot with layouts, and find myself changing 1 view or even just 1 property of a view, then having to recompile and launch it back into the emulator to see the result. Is there a tool that quickly (or at least quicker) shows what a UI looks like give a layout xml file?

Answer 1

You can look at http://www.droiddraw.org/ but it is not perfect.

Answer 2

You can use Eclipse with Android Development Tools, when opening a layout file you get a preview of what looks like. Besides, ADT provides some nice features for developing and debugging in the Android platform.
