Now, what I want is to give a more realistic effect on the cubes, so I create a monochromatic 8bit depth, 64x64 pixel size PNG file. I loaded on a texture, and here is my problem, which is the way to combine the color and the texture to get a colorized and textured cubes onto the screen?
I'm not an expert on OpenGL, I tried this:

i'm currently developing an application for android. Therefore i want to create a microphone widget, like the one in googles Searchdialog. This icon is filled with white color, like a bargraph, depending on the recorded volume level. I already found the icon (ic_btn_speak_now.png) in the drawable ressources, delivered with the SDK. Unfortunately the icon isn't an simple shape with a transparent area for the microphone shape. Instead it consists of some different gray values. My question now is: How do the google developers (and others, where i've seen it) fill only the microphone shape of the icon with color?

One is to run the app, and the others actually run activities within the app.I want there to only be one icon for users.Any ideas as to why this is happening?My code is structured similar to examples from the book "Android - A Programmers Guide" by JF DiMarzio.How do I hide the other icons so users have to start at the main menu screen?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a basic options menu, here an example of creating an element of me menu: menu.add(0, MENU_BACKWARD, 0, "").setIcon(R.drawable.btn_backward);
As you can see I don't want to show any text in this menu, just an icon ! But when the menu is showed, there is a "ugly" blank under the icon (the text is supposed to be there) and I want to avoid this. A least if it's possible to center the icon the options menus, it will be great.
if I have an Options menu in Android that has more than 6 items, Android adds a More item that shows the other hidden items, AS text!But I want the More button to display the extra items both in their text AND icon, how do I do that?

It looks fine on Nexus One, where the notification area is light gray and is almost invisible on HTC Desire (Sense UI - dark gray notification bar). Is there a way to overcome that? (The icon cannot be changed).The icon cannot be changed meaning" that I am using a custom set of icons which is a must for me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe android sdk offers the standard menu icons via android.R.drawable.X, however some standard icons, such as ic_menu_refresh (the refresh icon), are missing from android.R.Is there any way to get the original icons, maybe by extracting them from the applications? I already checked the Android source, but it's a bit too huge to look everywhere for the images.I know the androiddrawableexplorer website, but I would like to get the correct hdpi, mdpi and ldpi version, preferable the original ones.Do you have any idea?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI love how Android automaticly displays a number of menuitems in the options menu and when there are too many for your screen, it displays a 'More' button. I'd like to keep it that way, but the menuitems in the popup that you get when you press 'More' don't have the menuicons. Is there a way that I can overrule this? If not, how can I display my own popup when the user clicks 'More'? I still want that Android figures out how many menuitems fit on the users screen.

Is there any process to change the default text color white to "Black" and default selection color of android "orange" to "Blue" for whole project. i am using Eclipse for Android development.
View 3 Replies View Related1. I want to use my own color for selecting ui views.
By default, android shows the selected view with background as orange. I want to show the view background color as red.
2. In the same way, I want the same behaviour should be applied to whole application.
I have seen this example:
@*android:color/secondary_text_light
What's that * asterisk doing there? What is the difference when using or not?
