Title: General Layout Pull Request, UI Design Help Requested

This is a pull request of progress from my data input branch, and to start to get us onto the same page. The focus of this branch is allowing a user to enter data about their spots, events, and groups.

A few notable changes:
* Some of the activities have been converted from ListActivity to FragmentActivity with a ListView inside. Fragments are an Android 3.0 concept that make it easier to have a variety of activities happen within a tab. The code I am requesting for pull is stable, but this conversion is a work in progress.
* Groups & Spots now have a "Create a [Group/Spot]" button. I am in the process of linking this with the backend, so that we can in turn link this to the geofencing capabilities.

Some help would be very appreciated with the following activities and their corresponding layouts:
EventEditActivity > eventeditform.xml [See Known Issues]
SpotEditActivity > spoteditform.xml
GroupEditActivity > groupeditform.xml

Known Issues
* The EventActivity class is currently focused on location tracking, and does not have an existing link to the EditEventActivity yet. This will be implemented soon. res > eventeditform.xml is the file that will exist.
* The GroupsActivity does not like managing its database adapter. At the moment, the list items in that activity are placeholders.

Installation of Android SDK Support is required for FragmentActivity. Here is a nice overview on that topic: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/android-compatibility-working-with-fragments/
