    Well that depends, but if you're just learning why not use the UI designer and look at the code it generates for you and how it works. Commented Aug 18, 2017 at 10:31

    Just drag and drop and do the custom in the code that is the best way. For example if you drag and drop list view it will not a proper one you have to set over scroll and other things manually Commented Aug 18, 2017 at 10:35

As a beginner, it is recommended to experiment with the GUI by dragging and dropping and inspect the code that is produced.

As an expert, it a much more common practice to code the GUI as you can control many finer details using code instead of manual dragging and dropping.
