Are there any frameworks that I can use in developing a Native Android App? And also, how do create styles in native android? Like do I use some kind of css-like thing in this?

I don't exactly understand what you are asking.

Are you asking for a program to make Android apps?

Nope. Frameworks. Are you familiar with Spring, Struts, iBatis? Those are frameworks used in Developing Web App in java right. Are there any same frameworks in android? Im using android studio ATM. Just to be clear. :D

No, actually I'm not '-'

Either way, Android Studio is the standard thing you use for Android programming ( it used to be Eclipse).

You can use some other programs sometimes too, such as Unity3D

Android has it's own API that you use along with the regular Java API. So basically you're using the Android Application Framework by default. I wouldn't look into anything else until you learn to use it first.

 

Android has pretty good documentation for everything (linked above). It includes API documentation as well as tutorials, guides, and best practices. For example here's a page on Styles and Themes. You'll be working in an XML style with Android specific tags/attributes.

 

I personally like IntelliJ for an IDE. It gives you live updates for your UI changes and advice as you code which is handy. Haven't tried Android Studio or Eclipse (for Android development) myself so I can't say if it's better/worse.

Android Studio is based on IntelliJ.
