View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a bit hesitant to present this here already but today i put out the first architecturally frozen release of my game development library called libgdx. I go ahead and post the content of the description page of libgdx here so you get an idea what it is all about. A series of articles is currently in preparation at my blog at. I will continue extending the library in the near future and hope that some of consider joining the effort. Without further ado, here's a simple FAQ for libgdx. === What is libgdx? === Libgdx is my attempt at a cross-platform game development library written in Java with some JNI code for performance hungry code. It abstracts away the differences between writting an OpenGL application for the desktop via Jogl and doing the same for the Android platform.
This allows you to prototype and develop your application entirely on the desktop and only needing 6 lines of code to execute it on Android. Neat, so what does it offer? Libgdx offers modules for graphics via OpenGL ES, audio, input and file i/o. All modules abstract away system specifics so you can execute the same code on the desktop and Android. The graphics module offers full bindings to OpenGL ES 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. On the desktop almost all of the OpenGL ES functionality is emulated.
I'm interested in developing android applications. I've a background of Java/Swing/C++/ajax developer so I think I may find myself at home. As I installed the SDK I noticed that I can't follow my usual java development scheme: building base libraries, then the final app. In fact I'd like to develop libs and test them in a more convenient environment like, Swing. There is no way I can use android libs in pure swing apps. Do you have any suggestion about these topics and what's your development process?

View 4 Replies View RelatedYou know how google docs can allow you to share a doc to be edited real time just like a wave or anything else can?I think that idea should be extended to the code creation process so that coding can be done on the cloud as well.This way, depending on a system like mercurial to do a complex set of updates wouldn't be near as much because if two users were to edit the same document at the same time there would be only one submission.it would work just like this for 2+ workers on any single document! I think it's a great idea!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a need to render and display charts (bar charts for now, but more types may be needed later) in an Android app I'm working on. I've done some looking around and it doesn't look like there are any really good, mature charting libraries for Android yet.
Do you know any?
Edit to add some details of requirements
Bar Charts
Horizontal bar charts
Double stacked bar charts
Axis labels (including rotated 90 degrees on the y axis)
Labels above each bar on the chart
Shaded or custom backgrounds
I'm an Android Developer and as part of my next app I will need to evaluate a large variety of user created mathematical expressions and equations. I am looking for a good java library that is lightweight and can evaluate mathematical expressions using user defined variables and constants, trig and exponential functions, etc.I've looked around and Jep seems to be popular, but I would like to hear more suggestions, especially from people who have used these libraries before.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am a Delphi programmer and have written, over the years, hundreds of classes and routines which I can use in every Delphi program I write. This library is called d lib and can be *used in every Delphi program by putting this folder in my library path and using one of the units in the uses section of a Delphi unit. Being completely new to Java and Android development, I am wondering how to do this in s similar way. So my question, how can I write own classes, put them in some global folder, and use these classes and routines in every Android program I write ? I know this is a basic question, which I can probably find out by searching Google and trying it out in Eclipse, but if someone can put me on the right track, I know I will save much time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOn Youtube, there is a user named thenewboston who posts videos teaching basic computer programming that are aimed at total beginners like me. His tutorials are really easy to understand, because he goes through the process as if talking to an elementary school kid.nyway, he just started a tutorial series about developing iPhone apps. Maybe it's time someone from the Android camp did the same? Sure, there are many tutorials already available online, but they don't appeal to the common person, and the good video tutorials on Youtube are all more than one hour long. By doing something like this, more people would be attracted to try develop apps for Android.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Android library project that makes calls to PreferencesManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences.
I have 2 version of my app, paid/free, and they are not able to access the preferences stored by the library code.
Can someone tell me the right way to store values in SharedPreferences in library code and have the values available to projects that include the library?
According to this SDK guide, unit-testing a Library project can be achieved by creating a standard application project, reference the Library project and then instrument the application for unit testing. However, when I do this and launch the test application I get the message.No tests found with test runner 'JUnit 3".I'm using Eclipse and the Android ADT plugin, all latest versions.the projects compile just fine. The test project also installs fine to the emulator. But in the console I can see that it looks for <library>.apk, which of course doesn't exist since I'm compiling this as a library into the test project.

Before this, I had the movie The Book of Eli on my computer, MPEG4. I put that on my phone- sound, but not video. Converted to H.263, got both, but video was terrible quality. Near unwatchable. Should I try converting to a different format? I mean, there has to be some way to get good quality video.
So my friend just broke my Droid Eris last night and now I'm getting the Droid! But i want to be fully prepared to root it as soon as I get it! Does anyone know of an up-to-date video of root? or something similar? Yes im a total noob, so simple is better.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs I understand, the three ways of distributing my application are via Jar, Android Library and Android Library Project.Jar - cannot contain resources or XML layouts (so this is out for me)Android Library - I don't really know how this works but the Google API uses it..Android Library Project - includes resources but allows the client free rein on the code as it is distributed as source.If I am to create a closed source application that requires drawables and XML files that I want to distribute to other Android programmers, what should I use? And can someone direct me to a tutorial on creating an Android Library?
View 4 Replies View RelatedPre-Froyo streaming video used to be pretty good on Incredible. My work often involves repetitive tasks, and the streaming video on my Incredible was, if not incredibly fast, good enough that I could catch up on TV shows which I could not make time for at home. Now, after a factory reset and Froyo, the sites which I used to stream these shows from no longer work properly on my Incredible. I actually tried several of them, including zshare, novamov, smotri, wisevid, divxden - most of these worked good enough prior to Froyo, now they all act strangely, just enough to waste my time, and then crash.
I almost thought I was ready to stop burning time making Incredible and Android work for me, and start making it work in my life. A deciding factor which sold me on this phone was the streaming video capability which others lacked at the time - and why should any smart phones not have this capability, which has been available on PCs for 10 years, in a time when smart phones can download web pages nearly as fast as Road Runner service actually does? Now that Verizon and HTC have my money, they start restricting what I can do with it, just like everybody else. Screw you, Android, HTC, Verizon, and every fanboy who defends the trojan horse they call Froyo! You fanboys, especially, who enable these frauds with your relativistic arguments. Yes, I probably am using Android and not an Apple phone because I like bluetooth, wi-fi, and my own choice of battery power, but none of that excuses the promise of features which don't actually perform - this is what the unbrainwashed would call fraud!
I though Google was about integration, but today I failed to load a video using both the Droid or my PC (usb) to my picasa web page...
I think it is a bit silly that Picasa isn't compatible with Android videos... 3gp files (Is this phone specific?)...
But I can upload to youtube!
Anybody knows of a good converter for these files?
Anyway, sad... Even worst after seeing the Windows Phone 7 preview. Maybe that's going to kick the development a bit.
I badly need a good video player with playlist support and shuffle.
I have one of those cheap Chinese ICS tablets (btw working pretty good) and I planned to use it in my car to let my 17 month old daughter watch some videos I got from YouTube while driving home from our vacation. That is a 7 hours drive and she won't handle it without some entertainment. However I cannot find a suitable app, paid or free
I got so far
- Act Player.. does the job but only on Gingerbread (I have a GB Galaxy S phone). On ICS the playlist feature does not work
- Vplayer - does not support shuffle and after 4th or 5th video starts to stutter
- Mobo player - does the job but does not support shuffle and the little monster is getting tired of the first 10 vids she has to watch all over again every day
As I am one who cannot find any decent Android-based OpenGL ES references, I have decided to start one. You can check it out at http://www.vincepascuzzi.com. As I am not a seasoned GL programmer, any and all comments and/or questions are greatly appreciated!
My mission is to first create an OpenGL version of an application on Mac OS X, and then port to Android. Once the port is done, I go through each program, step-by-step, and contrast and compare how the port was done. I also explicitly point out any and all differences between the two, subtle or obvious.
Do you know a good tutorial about OpenGL ES 2.0? I'm going to use it with Android and C++.

What tutorials and libraries are available which can help beginners to develop 2D and 3D games on Android using OpenGL-ES? I'm looking for tutorials which can help me learn OpenGL-ES, and I'm looking for OpenGL-ES libraries which can make life easier for beginners in OpenGL-ES.
Since Android is still small, I guess it may be help-full to read iPhone OpenGL-ES tutorials as well, as I suppose the OpenGL-ES functionality is much the same.
I have found the following useful information which I would have liked to share:
Android tutorials: DroidNova: Basic tutorial covering polygons, no textures anddev forum with some tutorials
Other Android OpenGL-ES information: Google IO lecture regarding games, not much OpenGLES The The Khronos Reference Manual is also relevant to have, but its not exactly the best place to start.
iPhone OpenGL-ES tutorials (where the OpenGl-ES information is probably useful): http://web.me.com/smaurice/AppleCoder/iPhone_OpenGL/Archive.html
[url]
As for libraries which a beginner might use to get a simpler hands-on experience with OpenGL-ES, I have only found Rokon, which is recently started, thus has many holes and bugs. And it's gnuGPL licensed (at the moment) which means it cannot be used, if we wish to sell our games.
