> Android UI design is easier coz it's XML so you can do it programmatically!

That is absolutely not the point raised in the article. XML based declarative UIs help to keep your view code separate from the application's logic allowing for faster iterations. I don't think anyone manipulates XML views in code except in corner cases.

The simplest way to get a big picture idea about Android's XML based UI is to think of them as HTML+CSS with the addition of good layout managers.
