Hi, I've been creating a lot of layouts recently. I have one proposition that I think would make the workflow A LOT easier.
The problem is that when I'm in the layout-view in Eclipse, I don't see the size of the different Layouts. So what I do is I give them pretty random transparent background colors while working on them. e.g. #2f0f or #2f30. This way I can see how big the layouts are. The problem with this approach is that I now #1 my boss asks me every day why the whole UI is pink :-) while editing and #2 that I have to replace all the colors for release. And sure, when testing I can't really see how it really is going to look like because what I see are my weird background colors... Why not create a feature in the layout editor where you could specify "development background colors" which could be switched off and on in Eclipse's layout viewer and would not be exported? Also, in general, I have moved away from editing layout xml files in Eclipse bc it crashes regularly. And for some reason, when typing in the xml file, it updates the views & properties EVERY time I press a key which makes it reaaaally slow... Android is awesome, but I think the Eclipse Plug-in really needs an update... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
