Android :: How To Create 3D Game GUIs For Android Applications?
Jun 26, 2010
I am new to Android Development. What I want is to know how I have to begin thinking to program a neat, sexy GUI. I guess the android.opengl API is a good starting point. Let's say we wanna create something like a simplified 3D-Pool-Billard-Game: You see the table from the top and you have on the table the balls. You want to make them realistic (shadow, gloss).
What kind of Graphics do I need?
How to begin coding?
What kind of classes do I need? For each element (ball, table, ..)?
Where to create and encapsulate the "3D-ness"?
If you know better/additional questions, just add them or/and let me know in which direction I have to think in this case of developing. My skills/background on Java: I've programmed a lot in Java EE and used to handle graphical output with JSP/JSF. So this mobile SE for Android is new to me. Hope to get some intersting stuff together for a smooth access.

I'm on my way with my first game, all design and that stuff are done, just coding left.I have successfully watched tutorials around the world wide web with information about Graphics and how to create a successfully thread-synchronization within it. Like now I have a SurfaceView-class and a Thread-class. The thread-class have this constructor to receive the Game Engine from my SurfaceView-class.
Simple code from Thread-class constructor: Code...

I am trying to make a sniper style game where the user looks through a scope to see a large image that he can navigate. The user can only see part of the image at a time. The image is supposed to be much larger than the screen size that way he has to actually navigate and look for the enemy. How do I use an image that is larger than the screen that the user can navigate?It is kind of like when you are zoomed in to an image and you can pan the image and move it around to see different parts.

I'm trying to make an android app (I'm new in the Android programming world), and I'm having problems creating the GUI. The point is that I get information of some data that is divided in days... The problem is that I don't know, until I retrieve the information, how many days the GUI should display.
The grey part will be a TextView, and, also, the black part will be another TextView with multiple lines. So, the point is, how can I do to have multiple TextView's without knowing before the exact number? I suppose that I can't declare them in the layout.xml. The only solution that I've been thinking about is to create in the layout 7 pairs of TextView and, when I know the exact number, just use what I have to, and don't use the others... (It's a bad solution)

I'm using Xcode for a while, and I'd like to start developing Android Applications. However, the SDK is for Eclipse. I personally don't like Eclipse, because of the UI and it starts to suck on my iMac. I was wondering if it is possible to create Android Applications with the Xcode Tools so I can stay with my old friend Xcode (and maybe even Interface Builder (very unlikely) รถ). Can anyone tell me?

Is Android backwards compatible, in other words can an application developed in Android 1.6 run in Android 2.0? I just published a 2.0 application and discovered that I can't find it in the market using my G1 (Android 1.6) phone. But apparently others are downloading it. Should I downgrade the application to 1.6 or do I need to create separate applications for each Android version?

What I need to do with my Incredible is so simple and I am really amazed that this phone's photo application is as bad as it is. I have about 100 photos. I need to put them into individual folders or albums (I just need a way to separate them). I have tried everything but it does not appear as though the Incredible has this capability. I did a search and found some instructions using Astro file manager however this did not work for me. Therefore, is there any decent apps out there that will allow me to create folders (or albums) and put pics into them? I also need to somehow backup the photos (probably directly off of the SD card onto my PC).

I have a square grid, for a turn based game ( grid is similar to the chess board ), but the moves in the games are different based on whether you have lapped your opponent pawn at least once or not.i.e if you have not lapped (beaten any of the opponents pawns) in the outer most grid as below.if you have lapped your opponent pawn once at least, then you get to reach home,this way.Any player having all his pawns reaching "home" first wins.The ones in yellow are safe-houses, i.e both the opponent pawn and the player's pawn get to stay in the same grid, this is not considered to be lapping ( the opponent ).The lapped pawn will return to its start point.Now the question is, what is the effective way to store the paths for the all the pawns.we will have 4 pawns for the player and 4 opponent pawns.Is there any pattern to store such static information, in a elegant way?

I have a puzzle game with a 7x7 grid of graphics, and a timer, its just about ready to go. But I am stuck on how to go about saving/continuing game. For example when someone exits I want them to be able to save and exit, then come back and click continue to pick up where they left off with all of the graphics in the right place, timer and score. I looked at onSaveInstanceState android examples, but not sure if this is what I need or how to implement it in my case.

What i like about nokia is the pc suite(the older version) it syncs automatically with bluetooth. (files, pictures etc) and can read sms messages.
What ive read so far, theres no alternative on android?
Bluetooth handsfree- The current n82 connects fine to the car stereo,- and can accpets calls etc.
This seems to be a problem on android,-dependent on phone and android version. Is this correct?
Regarding programs, i have a call manager with whitelack lists, answering machine and scheduler. And a program that can record conersations.
Are there any android programs that can do the same thing?

I've yet to get an Andriod phone, looking to get the Hero when it drops next month @ Sprint. I was wondering how the applications currently available for the Andriod phones compare to iPhones applications? I really love the iPhone and it's apps but wouldn't go to AT&T for it and want to know if I'm going to be disappointed with the Apps for Andriod once I get the Hero after seeing what the iPhone has to offer.

I've followed the excellent article on game development here: http://www.rbgrn.net/content/54-getting-started-android-game-development, and started my game based on the Lunar Lander example. The Lander example re-draws the background and everything else on each "tick". I basically followed its example and I'm using my game's background image to essentially "clear" the canvas so that I can re-draw everything from a clean slate. This, as I've found, has a negative impact on performance as my game is beginning to slow down. My question is, what's the best way to optimize this? If I want to "clear" only certain parts of my canvas, how do I do that? I've read the documentation for android.graphics.Canvas, but am getting confused by a lot of jargon I don't understand such as "clip" and "matrix".
