Is there any way of using default Android functionality within the bounds of LiveCode?
I don't imagine so, but I'm thinking of things like the selection feature - i.e. tapping on a bar and the animation with the bar filling from the touch. Or the 'send' arrow that Android uses.
Does one have to port over to the Android SDK for this?

Re: Android Appearance
You could do it manually (which would be a crazy amount of work for a simple thing so ignore this idea)
The ability to have that dynamically color changing touch comes from the native objects. If you were to create a native object it would do it automatically. You can do this by building an external for android. Which currently is quite difficult. But if youre into that kind of stuff, go for it.
The last suggestion is to send Livecode an email asking them for more native Android controls. They are in the process of building about 20 externals for Android and implementing them strait into the LC system. Maybe you can get the native grid on the list of upcoming feature additions..? (Although if you did, it may still be at least a 6 month wait.)
