Android : Good Alternatives To Default Gallery - Albums App?
Mar 18, 2010
I'm sure it's been asked before but are there any good alternatives to the default Gallery/Albums app?
I have a T-Mobile G2 (HTC Hero) on 1.5 at the moment and the Albums app is such a frustration. I really can't see why the developers didn't figure out a way of navigating a tree structure?
Currently I have a lot of photos and they are stored on the SD card under a directory for year (eg 2007) then a directory for month (eg 03_march) then a directory for the event/place. It's how I store them on the desktop. Of course, the Albums app simply shows me every single directory with photos in, so I lose the ability to navigate by year/month/etc.
I know that Astro file explorer can do what I want, but the image viewer it has is limited and simply not as nice as the Album app, and the thumbnails are too small. Am I alone in NOT wanting to see hundred and hundreds of "albums" but rather see my photos stored how *I* want them stored?

I really don't like the Gallery app. I'd prefer the photo gallery to be simpler and let me just flick through photos without any whizzy 3d effects. Is there a way to get the default Photos/Pictures app that some phones came with, or is there any good alternatives people would recommend?

I have an android razr M and all my photos go to an album that I never make.
For example,
when I save a photo from Facebook, it goes into a album called "facebook"
when I take a photo, it goes into an album called "camera"
when I save a photo that I received through text it goes to an album called "messaging"
when I edit a photo it goes into an album called "edit"
I never made these albums, and I don't choose where the photos go. How can I create albums, and how do I put the photos I take/save into the album I want?

I am looking forward to get my very own G1, but up to now i wasn't able to pick up one because G1 sale in austria will start by the end of January.There is one major question to me before pre-ordering:Are there already any alternative Calendar Applications available for the G1? I do not feel comfortable with the fact in mind that Google may potentially be able to read my appointments.My "dream application" would be a completely offline calendar on the G1 which is able to sync with Mozilla Sunbird/Lightning through my private WiFi-Network. Is any such or similar thing available?It seems there's coming agendus from iambic which is my favourite PIM-App on palm. Is there anything available already?

After a 3 year stint with Windows Phone I've come back to Android with the purchase of a Galaxy S4, however the transition back hasn't been entirely smooth.
how android organizes the photo gallery. Doesn't matter the app, they all seem to organize in a similar way - find all folders with photos in it, list every folder as a separate album. That's great, but I don't want that.
On my Lumia 920 I had my photos organized like this.And on the device, they show up like this:I have folders with only subfolders as content. And they retain this organization in the photo viewer. I cannot find a single app that does this. I've tried Scalado, QuickPic, Just Pictures, Android ICS Gallery, Samsung Gallery, Customization Android 3D Gallery - nothing.
Is this just how the media scanner works? Any way to organize into subfolders within a gallery app? Is there any app that allows me to custom define my own setup? I wouldn't mind having to configure a text file to my setup, I just want it organized.
This is how BB, iOS, WP, and almost every other mobile OS organizes photos.The application F-Stop Media Gallery on the android marketplace allows the construction of custom albums. Although you cannot specify covers for the empty albums containing sub-albums, I've found a decent workaround.
With sub-albums looking like this. In order to get some form of album cover, you need images in the folder. However it will take the top 4 images and use those, so if you want a phone for the whole cover you'll need to split it up into 4 quadrants. Or just do 1 image and deal with it being small. Also, albums within other albums don't take on covers for some reason. I contacted the device and he said this was intentional but they were looking to change this in the future.
Albums need to be manually defined, which is a tad irritating but it works alright once you have it set up.

some of my albums are syncing (my main pictures album), but my screenshots are not. How can I fix it so my screenshots also sync to Google+ or at least to google drive? Note that my phone is not rooted

So one of the features I really liked about my iPhone, and my windows phone devices was that I could simply go into my gallery app, and view my Fb albums right from the device. I recently got on with t-mobile, and purchased a Samsung Galaxy SII which I love in most respects..
BUT
The gallery only displays the photos I take, but I want all my fb albums displayed too... how do I accomplish this? Is there an app I can download, settings I can change, voodoo rituals I need to perform??....

I don't remember how I did it, but I was somehow able to upload all the photos that I've taken with the camera to Picasa. Now I have quite a few videos in there as well, but I do remember a message saying that videos are not supported by Picasa and that only the photos would be uploaded. I'm now trying to do the same thing, but whenever I choose the entire 'Camera' folder to upload to Picasa, the only 'Share' options are YouTube, Gmail, and Bluetooth. Does anyone know how I may have done that the first time, or a way to sync photos from the gallery to Picasa web albums?

Not sure if I'm missing something really obvious here When I take photos they all go into one folder. In the Albums app I can't seem to create new folders to place photos into. Am I missing something really obvious? If I need an app does anyone have suggestions?

I saw in a couple of reviews that the Vibrant can display Facebook Albums in its built in Gallery. All was done nicely and very natively.I have a unit here and I see no option to do such a thing. Is this something that was removed in the final firmware or it is a setting in front of me and I cannot see it?

I am wondering if there is a pics app that will cover all my needs on my Desire. Currently running both the Nexus1 Gallery and the default HTC Photos. Both have good and bad points.
HTC Photos
Good:
-Only shows my pics, not the album art and ebook art stored elsewhere on SD
-Has a simple Facebook pics option
-Uploads direct to Picasa/FB,etc
Bad:
-No Picasa albums viewable (most of my pics are on Picasa)
-Cant multi tag pics (needed for doing bulk uploads/shares)
Nexus1 Gallery
Good:
-Beautiful interface!
-Shows Picasa galleries automatically
-Has multi-tag
-Uploads direct to Picasa/FB,etc
Bad:
-Shows EVERYTHING on my sd card, and has no option to remove pics/directories
-No basic editing options (crop,rotate,etc as the HTC app has)
-No Facebook albums display

Is it possible to change the default arrangement of the Android Gallery? What i meant is can we make the Gallery in a curved path, where the images will be along the curved path and the same time it has all the properties of the Android gallery?

I hate that the incredible default gallery shows videos and photos together in the same app. Is there any app out there that just shows your photos or is there a way to hide videos in the default gallery so I can see my videos with another app?

I believe this is pretty trivial but I can't get it to work. I want to display a default image in gallery elements (ImageViews) while their actual image is being fetched from the net. Right now, nothing is shown for an ImageView which its image has yet to arrive. Once it arrives it is immediately shown. What I tried is right after the instantiation of the ImageView to call its setImageResource function like so:
final ImageView i = new ImageView(mContext);
i.setImageResource(R.drawable.loading);
But it doesn't seem to work. Below is the full getView() function.
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
final ImageView i = new ImageView(mContext);
i.setImageResource(R.drawable.loading);
// if the drawbale is in the buffer - fetch it from there
Drawable bufferedImage = DataManager.getInstance().getImagesBuffer()[position];
if (bufferedImage != null){ i.setImageDrawable(bufferedImage);
BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) i.getDrawable();
drawable.setAntiAlias(true);
} // if drawable is not in buffer - fetch it from the net via AsyncImageLoader
else { String imageUrl = DataManager.getInstance().getImageBufferInstance().getImageUrl(position);
Drawable downloadedImage = AsyncImageLoader.getInstance().loadDrawable(imageUrl, new ImageCallback() {
public void imageLoaded(Drawable imageDrawable, String imageUrl) {
if (imageDrawable == null) { imageDrawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon);
} i.setImageDrawable(imageDrawable); BitmapDrawable drawable = (BitmapDrawable) i.getDrawable();
drawable.setAntiAlias(true);
} } ); i.setImageDrawable(downloadedImage);
} i.setLayoutParams(new CoverFlow.LayoutParams(Utils.getInstance().getScreenWidth() / 2, Utils.getInstance().getScreenHeight() / 2));
i.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE); return i;

All the examples I've found online for displaying a gallery of images require creating a custom Adapter and doing a ton of manual work. Is there not an Intent that I can simply pass a path or filter to in order to reuse the default image gallery functionality (display thumbnails, touch to view full pic, sharing options, etc) but limit the results to my application's storage directory?

I'm trying to set the selection of a Gallery in code. I would like to have the Gallery smoothly roll down a few items over the duration of a second or two. At frist glance, it appears that two members would to the trick:Gallery.setAnimationDuration(int animationDurationMillis); Gallery.setSelection(int position, boolean animate); It turns out that the setAnimationDuration only seems to affect the rubber-bandy "return-to-center" effect of the Gallery. In other words, when a gallery comes to rest after a fling, and a gallery item is off center, the animationDurationMillis is used to control the duration of the Gallery centering up the item. However, the value seems to have no effect on the setSelection. No matter what value is set with setAnimationDuration, the Gallery seems to render about 2 or 3 frames when flying between items 1 and 10 for example. Is this working as designed? Does anyone know a trick or workaround that would let me properly animate setSelection? I'd be especially grateful if we could do it with an "Ease Out" effect.

I'm considering taking the plunge and going all-in with Google. My primary email has always been my hotmail addy, which I've had since. whenever hotmail started. Literally. I've always had my POP addy from my ISP, but it's been more of a secondary address. The changes over the last while to Windows Live services and so forth have made email slow and clunky, and my ISP has got rid of their email servers entirely and Windows Live supplies all their email services. So, a switch to Gmail is under heavy consideration, particularly since I spend more time with my phone now than on my computer. I've got a Google account (obviously) and use many of their services, and have a Gmail account, which I never use. Google's calendar services, among others are terrific, integration with Android is seamless, while using hotmail through Android is a bit of a headache. How do people find Gmail? Is it worth a pretty major change (all my shopping sites, forums, etc will need to be changed to the new email) for what I'm hoping will be easier email usage on the go? Talk me into / out of the switch people, I need your advice.

I know that this list's objective is not to talk about the Market, but if I need a developer's POV. I just now discovered I can't even signup on the Market being from Brazil, so what other alternative I have to distribute my software? It's free / GPL software so I don't even care about payment method, I just want my software to be used and seen. Aside from publishing it on my blog page and tweeting about it, of course.

I keep reading articles about how new competitors to the Android Market are popping up, but I've yet to hear about any specific ones, or what they are offering that would make me want to explore them. The only Other market I've heard of is the Mikandi market for adult/porn apps, but I'm not really interested in that (at least not on my phone). I was wondering whether we could collect recommendations for other Android application stores and download sites, and add a brief review of the sites including a recommendation on why we would or would not want to use them (such as unique recommended downloads not present in the Android Market). we have a similar thread, but that one is about the best apps not found in the Android Market: Best Apps You Won't Find In Market.

However I'm not a big java fan, although I can live with that, I would like to know if there're reasonable alternatives for the android virtual machine. I've done a medium sized project using clojure, however from the reviews I read, it's very slow when running on android. How about scala ? I read that some people did experiments with it in android, is it "fast enough" ? How big is the learning curve ?
