Android Development—Android SDK Tools Part 4

Android is getting importance gradually in handheld devices developer community and many iOS developers also switching or adding Android development in their portfolio and plans for earning some fortunes. Google has made the way clear by creating Google Play as Android market place and imposing some restriction in order to eliminating spamming apps plus improve the Android OS with subsequent releases. If you have curiosity to get some insight in Android development this series is for you so let's explore further in this part.

Hierarchy gives obvious vision of the components of the application in very organizing manner so you can trace out anything you want in detail so this also can facilitate developers to do debugging perfectly. In due course Android IDE/Eclipse has in-built hierarchy viewer tool set. The Hierarchy Viewer tool Permits you to inspect user interface components of your app during the app is running. This tool is making user interface debugging straightforward since components are displayed hierarchically in tree form and you can drill down to see their details.

You can see and measure performance through performance indicators that are displayed for each UI component and permitting developers and designers to visualize the relationships between components and seek and destroy UI inefficiencies if needed. The Hierarchy Viewer is accessible in Eclipse from the menu bar: Window>Open Perspective>Other…> Hierarchy Viewer. This way developers can do debugging effectively and rapidly without losing much time to trace errors. In this viewer you can see hierarchy of the components of the app in a big window as well as in small side windows and can navigate them easily during Android development.
