Designing a beautiful Android app

Question

I'm a new Android developer and I need to create an Android application which looks like Apple's App store (on both phone and tablet).

I'm a bit familiar with Native layout designer in Eclipse (ADT) and I find it really hard to design such an amazing UI.

I've searched a lot and I've found some web-based UI frameworks such as Phonegap and Chocolatechip-UI . Are these frameworks capable of designing such apps or not? Or do you suggest something else?

Thnx in advance

This question does not have a right or wrong answer. It really depends on how complex your UI is. How sleek you want it to be.

If your UI is pretty but simple and does not require very complex animations you could go for PhoneGap. however, if you have got very complex UI and want very sleek animations I suggest you use the native APIs.

This however, may change in the near future as web technology is improving really fast :)
