Answer 1

Google has not announced any plans for a wysiwyg designer for Android app development. However, there is a tool available for this. Check out this link http://www.designerandroid.com/?p=165

Answer 2

As d. correctly mentioned the built-in designer does not truly represent your view. And if we keep in mind that even after 4 years of trying, Microsoft's equivalent for their XAML code still doesn't reach minimum usefulness level, I would strongly recommend to go manual. It's faster, much more difficult but equally rewarding. Once you get a hang of editing the XML files manually the development becomes much easier and WAY faster in my humble opinion. Regards

Answer 3

The form designer is part of the Android Development Tools (ADT) Plugin for Eclipse which comes with the Android SDK.

Answer 4

This answer is very late to the game but each new release of the Eclipse Android plugin improves the layout GUI editor. The one released yesterday (9.0.0) is light years ahead of the original tools which were awful.
