Layout Preview Help

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm looking to extract the code that "paints" the layout preview so I do my own 
thing with it. Basically my goal is to run some JAR/EXE file from the command 
line and give it the android XML layout. It then would take that XML definition 
and create the UI, grab any necessary strings and resources from the source 
tree, and save it as an image file (PNG, etc.). I'm not sure which part of the 
droiddraw source I need to use to do this, could anyone point me in the right 
direction? Or, do you know of any programs that already do this? I tried 
looking at Android Studio's code for their layout preview but it's so 
convoluted I'm not sure I can re-purpose it for what I want to do.
