I'm sorry what is probably a basic question is being posted on a forum made primarily for more advanced developers
My second app is almost done but I am missing a crucial piece:
What's the best way to make an image zoomable? Can I use a simple ImageView or do I need to use a SurfaceView, or something else?
My app contains images with small details I need the user to be able to zoom in on. Basically I just want the same zoom controls as in the stock Android 1.6 gallery.
Thank you

Ok, before I installed Android GB 2.3.2 nand on my Windows Mobile HTC HD2 I could take a picture with the phones camera or use a picture via Text and set it as wallpaper and it would use the whole picture without distorting the image. With GB 2.3.2 this isn't so. The quality due to cropping instead of being able to use the image as it was has made the quality of the photo go down. Any fix for this? Settings, app, etc??? I'd like to be able to take a picture or use a existing photo and use it as my home screen wallpaper without losing the quality. The phones pages, icons, etc look very sharp.

MultiPic Live Wallpaper will use the whole image, and additionally you can set a different pic for each homescreen, have cool screen transitions, and a bunch more cool settings.
There's another app out there that will allow you to use the entire image, but sorry I can't remember what that one's called. But MultiPic LWP should do the trick for you.

If this was done already than I apologize… I did make some effort to search the forum…. (little)
I tried many times to set custom wallpapers on my Tab... only to get frustrated with the Gallery Cropping Tool!
I tried many different wallpaper resolutions… some looked better than others.
The best results you get with abstract wallpapers since you probably do not care much if its crops things here and there…, but what if you want to center something in both portrait and landscape mode??
I decided to try a few things in Photoshop and was very happy with my results…..
(once again, If this was already done by someone in the past than I am sorry)
I created a Photoshop template that will help all in creating custom wallpapers.
The document has “crop areas” that match the Gallery Cropping Tool so that when trimmed you will get exactly what you placed in the “live areas” (with guides…etc.)
All is self-explanatory one you open it in Photoshop.
Do Not forget to save as a jpg
On the Tab,
Go to Gallery, choose the Wallpaper..... extend the cropping to maximum.
Attached is the PSD and a Sample Wallpaper.
I hope this helps..
Sample pics not showing, but sounds promising. I too have been frustrated by the stupid cropping of my wallpapers.
EDIT: Tried to download on my PC and says that zip is corrupted. Can you try a reup plz? Thanks

Have you tried multi-picture live wallpaper from the market?
Yes I did.
I wanted a different .....simpler approach to set custom wallpapers. (No need for extra apps on my Tab)
+ the template gives me more control

Loops...noticed a problem...not a big deal....
When I made and tested the template I had wallpaper scrolling turned off and only one homescreen. Upon enabling all home screens (7) And enabling scrolling I found that while scrolling it over shoots into the gray area in both landscape and portrait mode. This can be easily fixed by extending images on the template....
I'll try to edit the template and make more guides when I get the chance.

All you need is 'Simple Image Wallpaper'! Seriously. I went though all of this garbage to get the wallpapers to fit correctly and everything was solved once I got:

I am glad that you were able to figure it out, and I think pretty much everybody went through the same process if not on the tab then on another Android device ( I know I did with my old Captivate ). But I hate that we have to do it like this to get the pic centered properly on the tab or need to download a new app to make it work properly.
It's my first post here so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place. I've had a look around these forums for any answer or clues but I couldn't find any so I'm making this thread.
Basically, is there a way/app to replace the video feed that the cameras sees, with a static image. So for example, if I were to us my nexus 7 camera now, rather than see what the camera should see (my ugly mug), its sees an image that I have preselected.
I'm using an app which requires me to hold the camera up to an object. The app then scans the image it's seeing to recognise if it's this particular object it's looking for.
You guessed it, I want to take a picture of this object and save it to my nexus. Then use this saved image to spoof onto the camera. So when the app accesses the camera feed, it see's the image. I guess you could liken it to ManyCam. This obviously would mean I don't have to keep holding my nexus 7 up to the object.
Sorry if that's a bad explanation!
By the way, I'm using a nexus 7 with 4.1.2. It's unlocked and rooted using the stock ROM.
If you are doing app development, why not use the emulator, as I seem to recall it allows you to set the image that the camera API uses (as obviously there is no camera hardware in the emulator.
Hey guys, any way to change default filenames when i take a picture?
i want the pictures i take using my phone and tablet to have the same format.
at the moment nexus 10 uses IMG_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx.jpg and my htc one s uses IMAGxxxx.jpeg
i want them all to use the same format so in the gallery i can just sort them using filename.

I believe the naming system is unique to each manufacturer. Only way I know of to unify naming scheme would be to use a third party camera app like Zoom FX on both devices. Plus it will take better pictures with all the extra functionality.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a simple photo editing app.
There are plenty that are very powerful, but I don't want to do that on my phone. I'd rather do it on a desktop. I am looking for something that I have had a need for plenty of times, take a picture and then highlight the issue that the picture is showing. For example, taking a picture and then being able to insert an arrow or draw a circle around something in the picture to highlight it. Even adding some text might be nice. Then I could quickly add what I need and forward it off to whomever I need to send it to.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Search for cm gallery app under Android/apps it's small, practical and meets your requirements.
Perfect. Thanks!
Interesting to note that the newest version (the one labeled Lineage OS) loses that drawing feature, only the CM version has it.
Thanks.
I like an app called Sketch.

That looks good, although overkill for my needs. Looks very powerful though.
I just found Pixlr which seems like it is simple, but effective for what I need.
