There is no way to auto- design the desired layout, u can drag the view in layout editor for the ease , so that the xml declaration is half done.

Then you explicitly need to design and align the layout item as required.

You can follow the link here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout-objects.html

If you are using eclipse then it provides the drag and drop options for creating UI in xml.

You can also take the help of DroidDraw software to generate the XML.

Yes, you can do that.

Assuming that you already have Eclipse IDE, navigate to: /src/res/layout/main.xml

and switch to Graphical Layout (you can find it just below your XML code editor. Note that you might need to adjust something else, so you need to go back to XML editor anyway :)
