I ended up coding views by hand in the XML, because the graphical editor would go out of sync or render things wrongly. As far as I remember I also had to manually code in the XML event listeners for clicks, because the GUI did not offer that. All it did benefit me with was project structure and being able to press a button to put an app on a USB connected phone.

Well, that on top of the creepy uneasiness I always feel whenever dealing with companies like Google (or M$, FANG, etc.).
