Pixel-perfect android apps

Question

Is there a tool or app which will optimize building xmls in android app, because right now the only way to check difference between designer's template and an app is making screenshots and using graphical editor for overlaying each over other.

I have some DIY tools, but I am interesting in ready to use products, does somebody know them?

Answer 1

Have you explored the developer options provided with the phones?

• Enable layout bounds to know where a layout ends, its margin and padding
• Profile gpu rendering:onscreen bars, to check UI thread overload.
• Animation speeds: you can increase, decrease and disable animation.

I use this app to check if my UI is aligned properly.
