Android App Developers GUI Kits, Icons, Fonts and Tools - Specky
Hot on the heels of our previous GUI article, iPhone and iPad Development GUI Kits, today we focus on Android development. The idea is the same: To help streamline your app design and development, with a fairly comprehensive collection of Android GUI kits, icons, fonts, .psds and tools, that will allow you to focus on developing rather than having to design everything from scratch. In comparison to Apples iPhone, the Android interaction design guidelines are far from being extensive nor are they as regimental. Android GUI Guidelines Android User Interface Guidelines » The Android UI team has developed guidelines for the interaction and visual design of Android applications. Android Icon Design Guidelines » This guideline provides information to help you create icons for the various parts of your application’s user interface that match the general styles used by the Android 2.x framework.

Understanding Android Themes and Styles « Brain Flush I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent struggling with Android’s theme engine, trying to figure out — mostly by trial and error — how styles are applied and how to properly define them (let’s be honest: the documentation on styles in Android is a bit lacking). I thought it may be worth sharing what I’ve found out so far, in order to save my fellow Android developers from baldness due to ripped out hair (I sure lost some). This is a work in progress (so is Android), and some information may be inaccurate. What are Android styles? A style in Android is a collection of attribute/value pairs applied to a view, an Activity or the entire application (which means, all Activities in your application). How do I define custom styles? Let’s look into a simple theme definition (stored in res/values/styles.xml): First, we declare a new theme called MyTheme, which inherits from another theme called Theme.Light in the android namespace (specified by the ‘parent’ attribute). we write Useful Tidbits Colors

Design Your Own Android Apps Without Programming Skills » Web Design » SitePoint Blogs This article was written in 2010 and remains one of our most popular posts. If you’re keen to learn more about Android development, you may find this recent article on free web development apps of great interest. If you like the idea of creating your own App but don’t have any coding skills, you may be very interested to hear about Google’s new offering. The App Inventor (with the obligatory BETA in the title) is a new tool which allows non-programmers to build fully working applications for Android. To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer. Google has been working on the tool for over a year and it has been tested in schools and colleges. Here’s a 60-second video (with jazzy, xylophone background music) showing how a simple app can be created using the App Inventor. You can learn more about the App Inventor and see tutorials and sample apps here. So designers, do you think this is a good thing and something you might use?

Fontdeck: Real fonts for your website Bygg din egen Android-app Android är ett fritt och öppet operativsystem för mobiltelefoner. Det är baserat på Linux och utvecklas av Google tillsammans med Open Handset Alliance. Fördelarna jämfört med andra operativsystem för telefoner är att mobiltillverkare kan anpassa Android utan att betala licensavgifter. Dessutom är utvecklarna inte låsta till en viss mobiltillverkare, utan kan nå ut till fler användare med sina applikationer. 1 Vi bygger nyhetsläsare Vår utgångspunkt är en applikation från nyhetssajten IDG.se. När applikationen öppnas visas ett gränssnitt med fyra flikar, varav den aktiva visar löpsedeln. I den här artikeln ska vi skapa en applikation som är baserad på den här nyhetsläsaren, men alla exempel är generella. Så här vill vi att IDG-applikationens användargränssnitt ska ut. 2 Android kör java Androidapplikationer skrivs i java. Varje Androidapplikation körs under en java virtual machine (jvm) i en egen Linuxprocess med ett unikt användarnamn. Det finns fyra typer av applikationskomponenter.
