from iOS to Android: Some beginner's questions

OK I've spent a lot of time working with the iOS SDK, and now i'm porting my app to Android with Eclipse. There are just a few basic things I would like to know that I can't seem to find online:

  1. What is the equivalent of UIImageView? I have tried my hand at ImageView, but even in XML it seems nearly impossible to just resize the thing!
  2. What is the equivalent of presentModalViewController, and how do I implement the new java and xml files into my project?

Thanks for your help, it seems much harder to get started with Android than it did with iOS!

1) Yes, UIImageView: ImageView are same and you can resize it using ImageView.setWidth(XX), ImageView.setHeight(XX)

2) For presentModalViewController you have to write the custom animation to make it happen.

@Samir's implied response of "start from the beginning" is correct, but to answer your specific questions:

UIImageView: ImageView

The closest thing to presentModalViewController that I use is AlertBuilder

In my very person opinion, Android way harder to set up and a little easier to code. I started with iOS and now do both. The hardest part is getting used to a different workflow. Think of the XML as equivalent to the Interface Builder step, and then the Activity as the controller code.
