This is a weird question, but sometimes when my code throws exceptions Android Studios lets me click on the class name located in the LogCat and takes me specifically to that internal class where it generated the error.
I'm wondering if there is a way to view the source code for this manually, classes like StaticLayout, Button, Cursor etc without downloading some type of converter.
From your question, it seems like you want to see the source of the Android classes like Button, StaticLayout and Cursor etc from your LogCat. You can download the Android source from the IDE by going to sdk manager from toolbar menus and downloading the Sources for Android SDK for your API level. Then when you click from these links, you'll be able to see the code behind.
Helpful link and source: Android Studio: how to attach Android SDK sources?.
you can´t see the code because you don't have it. To see the code you must to have the .java file. Only have the .class file. To search an especific component you can search here grepcode Good Luck!

When I hit "New Project" in Android Studio, I get a menu that asks me what type of project I want to make. The options are Java, Maven, Gradle, Groovy, Griffon, Static Web, Empty Project. I want to create a new project with an activity in order to start building an android app but the two options that seem remotely valid here are "Java" and "Empty Project". Choosng either of these does not create an activity for me. I tried to create an activity once the project was created by right clicking on the src file ->New->??? but I do not have an option here to create one. I am new to Android Studio could someone please help me as to why I cannot do this?
I looked at some video tutorials online and they all seemed to start with the correct menu, so online resources were of no help really...
I had this probelm either.
At last, I found that I hadn't activated the Android Support plugin.
Hope this will be helpful.
If I am right I believe you just select empty project to start a new android project. Androids website has an excellent tutorial to get beginners started: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
I used this tutorial and it worked for me:

Basicly you just click file\new project and you should be able to configure it and at the end you select "blank activity", which adds the activity in question. While I never saw a menu like the one you describe, it could be possible you just didn't download the important files with the sdk manager? You need the basic files and an api of your choice. It is also explained in the tutorial.
Is there anywhere I can get the source code and all the required library files for a NATIVE android app? I need it for an experiment I am working on and I need to test a few apps for the same.
First you must know all dependence in android is write in Android.mk.
Second you can find some code in android source which is connect to you purpose, then looks up its Android.mk, and can find almost you need.
At last, recommand you try ndk, and is supported by Google.
I'd like to embed the app drawer within an activity/layout in my android app. Has anyone seen an example of how this can be done?
I did a StackOverflow search and I wasn't able to find anything useful...
https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=app+drawer
Download DevApps Direct on your device. All the samples DevApps showcases are open source.
It has an example called "Sliding up Panel", with its code here.
But note that you'll also need to merge the code for this gridview example if you want to replicate the listing of the launcher icons in that panel just like the app drawer does.
I basically think this is a bad idea you shouldn't be launching other apps from inside your app unless it is a launcher. That said I've written a few. Grab my source here https://github.com/aospTV/TVLauncher-Gee

Actually assuming you have 1 activity name as MainActivity in src folder of eclipse
and xml file name as main in res->layout
then you have to add following code in your activity
setContentView(R.layout.main);
By this you can use contain in xml file

Update:
I see that you have edited the question with more details. But, I am not sure if there is a way to call your app automatically when some one starts another App in the device unless it's a system level app. What you can do is provide one public intent to be called by any other apps and then at load time, the app calls your intent and hence can display your layout/xml.
