Your dream of creating your very own UI can easily be realized with the help of the new and powerful model set up by Android, which is in particular based on layout categories - view and view group. To begin you need to know that each of these two categories has a lot of sub-features that will be of utmost importance towards creating your very own UI namely - widgets and layout. Let's just take a peek into some of the widgets awaiting your use - Button, EditText, ListView, TextView, TextSwitcher, ImageSwitcher, AutocompleteTextView, Spinner and lots more. Some of the layouts at your disposal include - LinearLayout, FrameLayout, RelativeLayout and various others.
If at all you're not satisfied with the already available widgets and layouts or they just don't meet your needs then you can simply form your very own View subclass. If you're not happy with a widget, you can simply make minor adjustments to them by sub -classing them to make them fit for custom use. Android development is now made easy and you can perform custom android development:

Custom List Views: -
Creation of Custom List Views is rather simple once you know how to do it. Just follow three simple steps to create your own list view:
- Firstly you will have to extend an already formed View class or subclass with a class of your own.
- Next you will have to override particular parts of the superclass, for starters try OnDraw or OnKeyDown.
- Lastly once you've completed your new extension use it instead of the one it was earlier based on.
For Custom Dialog:-
Most of us have problems whilst creating Custom Dialogs. To overcome them just follow these steps:
- You will have to use a setter in Alert Dialog builder and keep in mind your requirements.
- You now need to pass reference variables into the nested class along with definite parameters.
- Lastly you have to qualify the entire interface just created using android.view
