View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android application development and I'm currently experimenting with various UI ideas. In the image below, you can see a vertically scrolling list of horizontally scrolling galleries (and also textviews as you can see). I'm also doing some matrix and camera transformations which I will come to in a minute.
For the background of the list elements, I use green. Blue is the background of the galleries, and red is the background for the images. These are just for my benefit of learning.
The galleries being used are extended classes where I overrode the drawChild method to perform a canvas scale operation in order for the image closest to the center (width) to be larger than the others. The list view going vertically, I overrode the drawChild method and used the camera rotations from lack of depth dimension in the canvas functionality. The items in the list are scaled down and rotated relative to their position's proximity to the center (height).............
I have just got a new Galaxy S. Pressing the Menu key gives me an + button which when pressed gives me the option to add Samsung Widgets and Android Widgets.What're the differences between Samsung Widgets and Android Widgets?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving seen so many people posting images of their home screens, I have come to the conclusion that I must be the only person to hardly use widgets! I have two - Calendar Pad (1x1) which shows me todays date and when I click it it takes me direct to my week view, and the Power Bar to turn off WiFi, GPS, etc. I've tried things like Face book, Twitter, News, etc, and just get frustrated as they don't really display enough. Maybe I've just not found the RIGHT widgets yet, but I fear I may be missing out on something!
View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently got a custom ROM running on my amazing G1, but I would like some more widgets, like some of the ones on the HTC Hero, such as the messages Widget etc.Is there one like that that is on the Android Market?If not, what are the best downloadable widgets?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI sent HTC a E-mail regarding them taking it down, and this is what the sent back.I am sorry about any inconvenience that this has caused you. The Beautiful Widgets Application was probably removed from the Android Market because of coding errors. I would suggest contacting the developer of the application. There may be other applications on the Android Market that are similar to this application. HTC does not have control of what is removed from the market. You would need to contact someone from android.com, because they are the developers and they would be the ones to flag programs from the site.

Mine are: Touiteur, weatherbug, batterylife, and tunewiki.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have tried a weather widget and its working fine. The Weather widget is an app widget and I update the widget once in 6 hrs similar to the application on android site using AlarmManager. Now I want to animate the widget (ImageView) every 100 ms similar to HTC homescreen.
I dont think AppWidgets will scale well for this case. How can I implement this widget?
I have seen "Custom Homescreens" in previous Android SDK's. Should I have modify the Homescreen widget for doing this or is there any other way.

Just wondering if we can share some "must-have" apps and widgets for the HTC Desires running on 2.2 (FROYO). List your top ten with a description of what they do (if it isnt clear from the app name), cost, and where to find them if not in the "Market".In no particular order:
Apps & Widgets
1. Timeriffic (Free, Market) Lets you schedule tasks for your phone to do at specific times of the day (ie. turn on wifi at 6pm when you will be home then off at 23:00 when you will be in bed)
2. Barcode Scan (Free, Market) Barcode Scanner
3. Layar (Free, Market) Augmented Reality App
4. Astro (Free, Market) File Manager
5. RealCalc (Free, Market) Scientific Calculator - Good if you need a % button
6. Flixster (Free, Market) Cinema Showings/Movie info/Trailers etc
7. QuickDesk (Free, Market) Allows you to skip quickly to apps and widgets without leaving the screen that your using
8. Silent Boot (Free, Market) Stops your Desire from making that annoying start up noise
9. Gesture Search (Free, Market) Search by use of gestures on screen

As you can see, there is a common theme. I'm a cheapskate! Nothing but free stuff! *I'm on the look out for an alternative free Music Player (with a widget), and a widget for a calculator that has a "%" button.
just got my first Android phone today - a Captivate. I've been doing some reading and think I might want to try out Launcher Pro (the paid version?) and Beautiful Widgets. I just want to make sure there wasn't a whole lot of overlap in these two products. Do they work well together? Do most of you run both of them at the same time? This could be a pretty silly question as I totally not even sure what exactly both of these apps do.
