Hey, brand new Android developer here. I'm making my way through "The Big Nerd Ranch Guide" for Android Programming and trying to absorb all that I can. I'd like to get started on a basic card game eventually. My idea was to have an interactive "hand of cards" widget that lets the user select a single card. Quick photoshop sketch:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Since I have no knowledge of creating new widgets, I'm looking for suggestions on how I would implement such a thing. Such as, what libraries should I be using or even what kind of tutorials should I start reading to get a head start on this? Requirements are:
- Widget is flickable/spinnable. You can scroll left and right and the cards will kind of spin like a wheel. This would require some 2d image transformations.
- After flicking, the card that lands in the middle rises to the top of the stack. Perhaps a "fade in" effect.
- Drop shadow on the edges of the cards. This is a nice to have but not a must have feature.
- Rounded edges on the cards.
- Ability to display text and/or images on the cards.
Doesn't seem like it would be too complicated, but again, I have no knowledge on creating widgets. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi,
Could someone tell me if there's a way to change/remove the icons from the today screen. I'm talking about the little butterfly, the house, the messenger icon and the envelope.
Thanks
Andrew
Did you steal your device or something ?
It's in the manual, but here you go...
Start > Settings > Today > Items tab
disable and re-order the Today Screen items there
No, I actually bought it. Actually it never crossed my mind to read the manual. Maybe it's a bad habit.
Thanks

I'm much the same, actually... I like to just sit down and poke at things (found the today screen settings that way, for example).. but manuals do sometimes have good information that you can't easily stumble upon otherwise.. so once I feel 'ok' with a device/piece of software, I read through the entire manual once, and highlight (or note down) the bits that are interesting and seem non-obvious.

Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.
I was hoping to find a native email client that makes it easier, and friendlier to use. Have suggestions? I will add them. I cannot code worth beans. I have minimal knowledge in photoshop and I am only asking you, the smart ones to help me!
Features
*I use 6.5, I know it would be easier on there, but 6.1 for other people.
* Hopefully takes over the need for the original email
* More screen space
* Skinnable
* Total finger friendly (all axis touch friendly), rather than clicking "Tap to scroll right"
* More screen space
* Auto download pics (with out clicking the bar).
I have some mock ups, I am not looking for something beautiful, just something minimal and works. Skinnable is not a must, but nice and could add some "replay" value." I am willing to pay at least $20. I am also sure many others would donate to your work.

GrilledUI is a library to implement common UIs easily. Available UI types are: tabbed UI (TabActivity), master/metail flow (SectionActivity) and their hybrid (HybridActivity). These activity classes wrap everything you need to create your UI with just a few lines of code or even load tabs/sections and instaniate fragments from XML file. HybridActivity allows you to have tabs on phones and MDF on tablets. This way you can easily make your app tablet and phone friendly without torturing phone users with multiple activities.
Library comes with JavaDocs, multiple examples, in open source form, 2-clause BSD license and pre-ICS support (!). Pre-ICS devices are supported with the help of ActionBarSherlock.
GrilledUI lives on GitHub.
A small preview of what is possible:

Hey everyone, just want to share with all of you an app idea i am currently working in developing. I would love to hear some advice and what can be done to make it better.
The point of this app is kind of straight forward. It is to teach kids their ABC's, how to count, their colors and to include some lullabies as well.
Currently i dont have the images i need so for now in the image below i only have the color red and an A in the middle. The scree i swipeable so when you swipe it goes to the next letter and pronounces it automatically out loud. Each letter will have a different background, NOT A COLOR, for example A will have a background of an apple, B will be a Bear, C could be a Cat and so on...
As of now i dont know how the app will look in its final stage but this is what i got so far.
The app just started being developed, so far not much is done but updates as it goes on will be posted. Thanks
Here are some images in order of how they load. The main Page has a sliding drawer from the left side of the screen which will have options such as rate us, Like Us on FB and Twitter, About Us, Contact Us and so on. The menu is not done and it is very ugly and unorganized so i didnt post a picture with it open.
