Hi,
I am an experienced iphone developer and recently taken the plunge into android development as well. i came across this app and i wonder how was it developed on android (Cause it looks so much like an iphone app), see link below http://lh5.ggpht.com/_63_i7B_SEMw/SmhfwhjWx2I/AAAAAAAAAI8/OoA40e42clo/s400/NYTimes-app-comes-to-android-market.jpg
anyone have any idea how to accomplish that type of look on android
Hello.
This app obviously uses customized ListViews, ButtonView on the bottom of the screen.
Theses are pretty much standard and common in android apps.
Its in the documentation how to create custom components
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/ui/custom-components.html
That's just a matter of styling after all. In general, I would consider it to be discouraged to make your Android app look like an iPhone app. Every platform has its own UX standards, and Android's standards are different from iPhone's. That quite obviously also reflects in the user interface.
Anyhow, you may want to read this article about Android themes and styles. It should get you going with defining own widget styles and stateful drawables to implement custom buttons.
