If you use dull on unattractive colors in your Android app there are possibilities that your app will not get a good score from users and hence a time will come when no one will download your app. To avoid such situation you must create attractive layouts for your app. Creating attractive layouts are easy,anyone can do this by learning XML language.

Practice makes you Perfect:

When I was in the process of learning C++ language,I used to ask everyone how I can become a good programmer? The answered I got almost from everyone was”Practice,Practive and Practice”.So I started practicing the C++ syntax on daily basis.Within few days,I found myself a better programmer.
