Designing App - GIMP / Photoshop
May 5, 2012
I am using GIMP to create graphics such as buttons and background but don't have a proper understanding of the process. Do I create a background and then layer it with the buttons and then save each layer separately? Do buttons have to be squares or circles or can they be stars for example? Do I need to create every background and button as a 9patch or do I just create 2-3 different resolutions? and finally where do I set things like dp?

Has anyone managed to get the photoshop app on their tattoo yet?I have been looking and it still is not in android market on the tattoo. I looked on the adobe site to see I could download it from the website onto my computer as I have done for some other apps that are not in the market. Not there they just direct to the android market.I then found the adobe android app forum and asked about it saying that I wanted it for the tattoo. I had a reply that it is compatible with tattoo and that I should get it from the android market. I replied to that saying that it was not there and could they get it put in.No response yet and it has been a week. I will try again soon but just wondered if anyone had found somewhere else to get it?

I am looking at buying photoshop to be able to use some of the .psd files on the develop.android.com site (eg. http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-TW/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html). In addition, ideally, there would be many tutorials for that version, so I can learn quickly.I see multiple versions of photoshop; is there a minimum version anyone can recommend which will provide suitable functionality to make basic icons etc?

It seems that no matter what resolution/DPI i create images for contact id photos, it ALWAYS comes up choppy when the person is actually calling. When I browse to the file on the phone and view it through albums, it looks completely fine and crisp, but after i set it to a contact id, and that contact calls me the photo that comes up is all pixelated...
I have tried the on-board cropping using very high res images, as well as creating an image on photoshop with 250x250 resolution @ 72-300dpi

All the example codes, tutorials or video I see, there is always one ContentProvider per SQL Table with the SQLiteOpenHelper extension defined as a private static class... Is it some sort of standard design...to have one ContentProvider per SQL Table? Or I can define one generic ContentProvider and use its instance for ever update? Is there some issue with that? Could anyone please help as my application has like 5-6 tables.

Does anyone have any good references for designing and implementing an idea I have for an android application. My idea is for an application that stores information and reviews about a specific location and presents this information to user.I have gone through all the tutorials and have been reading up on anything and everything about android. Now I am ready to challenge myself with my first app.

I have to create a number of tables for caching some amount of textual data, obtained by reading XMLs. These tables need to be created only once - on the initial run of the application. The data in the tables should be cleared after fixed time period. There should be a class exposed to other classes that would allow CRUD operations on this database. Googling found me some links to tutorials for creating databases and Data Access logic.
I have some questions, please help:
How many DataBaseHelper(DBAdapter) classes should I have, I am guessing only one? Is it okay to have all the SQL DDL and DML statements, DB name, Table Names as static strings of this class?
How do I ensure that the tables are created only once?
Is it possible to clear the DataBase after a fixed time interval?
Are there any best practices to be followed when designing the database?
The data in the database is to be displayed in Lists. I have data in ArrayLists(created when parsing XML) as well as Database(after these lists are persisted). What adapter should I use to back the list up? Should I use ListAdapter or CursorAdapter?

Eclipse has provided us with different qualifiers like size, ratio , etc. So when I select a qualifier, it provides us with the right emulator screen to make our layout. But are these emulators screen loaded under the right layout folder? I dont understand, how Nexus 10 which is a xlarge screen size is loaded when I load the activity_main under the Normal layout folder?
am I blindly arranging these layouts? Because before this, I had arranged all layouts perfectly and when I went to run it on a Virtual Device, it looked a complete mess. I looked at the xml files and they were completely in the wrong places.
I have used qualifiers like : normal-long, normal-notlong, large-long, large-notlong, small-long, small-notlong, xlarge-long, xlarge-notlong,Should I change the qualifiers?

My developer does math for matching dimensions between the screens I (the designer) give and the layout she makes. There is a formula for it, but she forgets after a project is over and she has to start all over again. Is there anything I can do as a designer to minimize her head banging hours. Is there a certain formula or layout I should design around to make things a bit easier for her.

The idea is to allow users to download a skin packet from the android market and be able to change the skin via the main application.I assume this skin pack would contain only the layouts and res names that I would want to overwrite from the main application. How could I approach such project?

How would you go about designing a system based on arbritary zones? Think of the American states - basically the whole map is carved up into irregular zones. Then again another one might show a salesmans territory, TV stations coverage area etc. I need to be able to retrieve the current GPS position and determine which zone I'm in. I can't use an address/zip lookup - its purely based on the lat/long point. So the data structures which define the enclosing boundaries must be flexible enough to provide fairly accurate positioning. As a bonus, I'd also like to be able to render these zones on the map, maybe with different colors. Any tips/pointers to anything close to this would be very welcome, thanks.

I never do graphics type programming. I'm designing a screen that will need to look good on all phones, and all resolutions. It's for displaying in a list view, and there will be a small graphic for the summary view, and a larger graphic for the detail view. Normally I use a 32x32 (res 72x72ppi).png for the summary view which looks good on my G1. The second image is for the detail view and it basically should fill the entire width of the screen (roughly, it's ok if it doesn't use the entire width as long as none of it is chopped off). The size I use for my G1 is 468x60.
So, the question for the guys that really know this stuff is: What sizes do I need to make these images to support all screens and densities with the fewest number of images? I know that the answer is a little subjective, but I remember seeing a post with a link to a page that recommended 3 different images for the different screens (and it seemed to make sense when I read it), and I think but don't remember for sure that then you would need 6 layouts to support those with both landscape and portrait orientations.

I am building and designing a (mostly) read-only interface to some data. I'll be uing ASP.NET MVC to build a psudo-restful API. I'm wondering if anyone can provide some resources for building full-client applications for various mobile platforms, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, etc. I'm thinking that serving up XML data is going to be the most simple and universal, but parsing XML in objective-C for example doesn't sound like fun to me, but maybe there are some good libaries out there to help ease this task?
In other words, what formt will be the quickest to implement on the client side? Are there any JSON parsrs for iPhone or Android? I know there are .NET JSON parsers, but not sure about other platforms -- is ther another format that might better? Or should I stick with pure XML and deal with it on each platform differently?
