Finally, I have been able to find time to push the intial code for “Model View Controller” implementation on Android.Quite a few people told me that MVC is inbuilt in Android, with the View being represented by the Activity but I failed to visualize or tangelize the Controller. Well, the Model can always be the backend data – the business entities.
Android is the operating system for mobile phones based on Linux. Android provides an open platform for developers to create applications for their own use by a variety of mobile devices. To help android application developers on design application and development, on today post we are sharing comprehensive collection of Android GUI kits, icons, .psds and tools.The Android UI team has begun developing guidelines for the interaction and visual design of Android applications.

There are many occasions where your Android application relies on external XML or JSON messages or documents obtained from web services. These documents are used for data interchange between the local application and the server. There are many use cases where XML or JSON documents are generated by the local application to be sent to the server. Ideally, methods invoked by these activities have to be tested in isolation to have real unit tests and to achieve this we need to include some mock...
With its intuitive and open-source platform and support from the huge mobile phone manufacturers HTC, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, Androids year-on-year smart-phone marketshare has shown a massive growth of 886%! Just to put this into perspective, the iPhone has shown only 61% growth. These figures may give you an insight into the popularity of both platforms, but in actual fact, it shows that it is mobile app developers who are the real winners. With smartphones becoming ever more popular, there...
This tutorial will start out simple, but then we’ll get in to some of the technical details of using Contacts with the ContactsContract class, which was introduced in API Level 5. Make sure you have your Android development environment installed and configured correctly. You’re free to build upon any application you have, start a new one from scratch, or follow along using the InviteActivity code in our open source project.
After setting up your Android development environment, it’s time you implement your first (simple) Android application. The steps to achieve this are:* Creating a project.
* Create your user interface.
* Code the application.
* Run the application.I will make a Android application which will provide a field where a user can type in a word and, after clicking on a button, will display that word.
For some reason, I really enjoy recreating analog components on Android.
As you can guess, this type of knob does not have min/max bounds and can be freely rotated as much as you want. This type of control is often used for browsing through a list of options that can be wrapped around. Also, an important property is that this knob does not rotate smoothly but switches from one nick to another. You can imagine that it also clicks when you rotate it – and our Android replica will also make...
Here is a simple Video Chat application I built with Flex 4 and deployed on AIR for Android. The Application is just 30 lines of code and allows multiple users to join a chat room and “video chat”.Video streaming is powered by LiveCycle Collaboration Services, a set of hosted Flash Services that enable developers to easily add real-time collaboration and social capabilities to their applications.This application is obviously a bare-bones proof of concept. However, it is fully...

I don’t know about you but I have an emotional attachment to old platforms and APIs. They are often sweet and nice in their primordial simplicity, even with their well-understood limitations. Even when they become obsolete, we developers still remember and miss them.
We all are very busy in getting to know how iPhone 4 is ruling the smart phone market now. Even we were busy in noting down all cool new features of iPhone 4 or iOS 4 comes with in its new release.

I have taken the liberty of summarizing the steps required to get a Python script or application up and running on your Android device quickly using ASE. This is no substitute for fully absorbing the documentation and becoming fully familiar with the code and capabilities of ASE, but for the impatient it’s a quick way to get Python, JRuby (or most other dynamically-typed languages) up and running fast. To those wondering why I didn’t focus on Perl, Bash, or Lua, in this tutorial, it’s...
