title: designing android ui in java instead of xml?
body: <p>anyone know some good guides for this? there seems to be almost nothing out there. the best I've found is <a href="http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/google-android/articles/48845.aspx" rel="nofollow">this</a> but it isn't very comprehensive.</p>
  
  <p>also, I'm really new to android development. I know there are resources like the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/LinearLayout.html" rel="nofollow">api</a> out there but I'm looking for more of a guide, and doing the ui in java just seemed more appealing than xml.</p>
