App Widgets | Android Developers
App Widgets are miniature application views that can be embedded in other applications (such as the Home screen) and receive periodic updates. These views are referred to as Widgets in the user interface, and you can publish one with an App Widget provider. An application component that is able to hold other App Widgets is called an App Widget host. The screenshot below shows the Music App Widget. Describes the metadata for an App Widget, such as the App Widget's layout, update frequency, and the AppWidgetProvider class.
Vector Graphics Support for Android! This is a compact and straightforward library for parsing SVG files and rendering them in an Android Canvas. By using vector art, the pain of supporting various screen sizes and densities in Android can be reduced. This was the library used to render the artwork and the interface of Androidify . The project also includes a Live Wallpaper app extracted from Androidify . The app shows off the SVG library, and demonstrates the rendering pipeline used to draw the Androids.

Designing For Android - Smashing Magazine
For designers, Android is the elephant in the room when it comes to app design. As much as designers would like to think it’s an iOS 1 world in which all anyones cares about are iPhones, iPads and the App Store, nobody can ignore that Android currently has the majority of smartphone market share and that it is being used on everything from tablets to e-readers 2 . In short, the Google Android platform is quickly becoming ubiquitous, and brands are starting to notice.After testing a plethora of fun games for you over the past week or so, we decided that we'd get serious again, just in time for the Easter / Passover holidays. So, in the spirit of true Android geekiness, we've tested a system manager for you today. System manager and tuning apps are a dime a dozen and come in all shapes and sizes. Some are easy to use and others require an advanced degree before they can be made sense of.

Android Activities - Droidicon
You can perform a full text search on the activity title, the package name of the application and the activity itself. These activites have been gathered with permission directly from the devices of users running Custom Launcher Icons and the Android Activities app . I wanted to make icon packs, but I didn't want to install and run every single app including both the paid and free versions just to get the activity names. So I leveraged my already successful app to get the information automatically.

The current stable release is version "r16" of the SDK Tools and ADT 16.0.0. You can download the official bits from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html . We are currently developing r17 and ADT 17 in the git trunk.
Android Series: Custom ListView items and adapters | Software Passion
This is a short tutorial on how to populate your android list view, with data downloaded from the internet or other sources, using ArrayAdapter. ListView items view is declared in a separate XML file and displayed using custom adapter class. First things first, so go ahead and create a new project using Eclipse equipped with ADT plugin. The project described below assumes you have a list of objects created, this can be either downloaded from the internet as XML and parsed to create ArrayList of your custom objects or anything you imagine. I will not go into details on this tutorial how to create such an ArrayList but your imagination is the limit. Parsing XML downloaded from the net will be covered in the next tutorial coming up soon.When you want to change all your icons, copy the 12 icons from theme1 to the root of the /sdcard/icons drive (overwriting the 12 files that are there). Reboot phone. Now your new icons are there. The icons themselves are stored inside the individual apk files. You need to open each one, swap out the icon and reassemble it.
[Collection] ICON SETS | About *600* different Icon Packs [INDEX on 2nd post] - xda-developers
[This post is by David Chandler , Android Developer Advocate — Tim Bray] Honeycomb introduced Fragments to support reusing portions of UI and logic across multiple activities in an app. In parallel, the showDialog / dismissDialog methods in Activity are being deprecated in favor of DialogFragments . In this post, I’ll show how to use DialogFragments with the v4 support library (for backward compatibility on pre-Honeycomb devices) to show a simple edit dialog and return a result to the calling Activity using an interface. For design guidelines around Dialogs, see the Android Design site. Note the use of two optional attributes.

You'll notice that all the samples are included in a single Android project, so the application code and other resource files for all samples are batched together. To help you find the code that's relevant to you, here's a directory that points to the program code for the different topics included in the project:SDK/ADT/Emulator Problems by birtel View, Layout & Resource Problems
