Android layout for grouping views in iOS style

Although this is default for iOS (UITableView) its often used in Android also,
so I decided to write a simple library for this purpose. This is the first edition with only plain, edit text and few basic options so everyone is free to participate!

  1. Yeah, this is really annoying on Android. The settings screen in Android seems to have the grouped style headings of a UITableView however this is not part of the ListView functionality by default.

    The way I did it was to add a separate view into the ListView row which had the title and underline, and then to programmatically show and hide it when it was needed.

    Pretty annoying but it works.

    Also we just released PortKit: UX Metaphor Equivalents for iOS & Android

    It has side by side comparisons of the native ui widgets and links to downloadable PSDs for designing.
