title: Tool for quickly testing Android layouts
body: <p>Android layouts are very tricky to get right. Especially for an inexperienced layouter like me. At the moment I use the following workflow:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Design the layout in IntelliJ, using IntelliJ's GUI preview window</li>
  <li>Test the layout on my device</li>
  <li>Test the layout on different emulator images</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>This approach has several problems:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The IntelliJ is very inaccurate (often the layout looks very different on the device)</li>
  <li>Testing on my device is good, but here I have only one fixed resolution and PPI</li>
  <li>The emulator takes AGES to start up. If using multiple emulators things get worse</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>That's why I'm looking for an alternate solution: a tool, that quickly renders Android layouts (no app logic required). This tool should support different resolution and PPI settings and should be as close to the actual looks on real devices as possible.</p>
  
  <p>Is there such a tool?
  What other alternatives are there?</p>
