Managing Projects from Eclipse with ADT Eclipse and the ADT plugin provide GUIs and wizards to create all three types of projects (Android project, Library project, and Test project): An Android project contains all of the files and resources that are needed to build a project into an .apk file for installation. You need to create an Android project for any application that you want to eventually install on a device. You can also designate an Android project as a library project, which allows it to be shared with other projects that depend on it. Once an Android project is designated as a library project, it cannot be installed onto a device. Test projects extend JUnit test functionality to include Android specific functionality. Creating an Android Project The ADT plugin provides a New Project Wizard that you can use to quickly create a new Android project (or a project from existing code). Select File > New > Project. Tip: You can also start the New Project Wizard by clicking the New icon in the toolbar. Figure 1. Figure 2.
How To Design A Mobile Game With HTML5 Advertisement Care to make a cross-platform mobile game with HTML5? No need to dabble in Java or Objective-C? Bypass the app stores? A handful of game developers are pushing the envelope of mobile HTML5 games at the moment. Getting Started Before you start sketching the next Temple Run or Angry Birds, you should be aware of a few things that could dampen your excitement: Performance Mobile browsers are not traditionally known for their blazing JavaScript engines. Now, as a Web developer you’re used to dealing with the quirks of certain browsers and degrading gracefully and dealing with fragmented platforms. In this tutorial, we’ll make a relatively simple game that takes you through the basics and steers you away from pitfalls. It’s a fairly simple game, in which the user bursts floating bubbles before they reach the top of the screen. We’ll develop this in a number of distinct stages: 1. Enough of the background story. Let’s kick off with a basic HTML shim: Take a look at the following: 2.
Android niceties A bare-bones live wallpaper template for Android William Francis demystifies the process of creating live wallpapers for Android and shares a template you can use for your projects. A TechRepublic reader suggested I do a tutorial on creating a live wallpaper. Live wallpaper was a feature added in Android 2.1 that allows the actual background or desktop of the phone to act much like an application. It can animate, make system calls, and interact with the user. A good example of the feature in action is the default Nexus wallpaper that started shipping with the Nexus One. Nexus live wallpaper It's up to the developer's imagination to determine what a given live wallpaper does. My goal in writing this tutorial is not to make a stellar live wallpaper, but rather to strip the required code to the bare minimum, thereby demystifying the process and hopefully jumpstarting a number of beginning Android programmers who maybe shied away from coding a live wallpaper in the past. 1. 2. wallpaper.xml <wallpaper android:thumbnail="@drawable/icon" 3. 4.
Développement d'une application Android - tutoriel, outils et ressources - (Navigation privée) Eric Schmidt, Executive chairman de Google, a annoncé lors de la conférence Dive Into Mobile que l'OS de Moutain View comptabilisait désormais 1,5 million d’activations quotidiennes d’Android. Il a également déclaré que d’ici la fin de l’année, Android sera présent sur 1 milliard de terminaux . Quant à Google Play, les 700 000 applications disponibles annoncées sont un bon augure pour le futur d’Android. Ces chiffres exceptionnels sont une formidable source de revenus pour Google mais également pour tous les développeurs et designers travaillant d’arrache pied afin de fournir des applications Android innovantes. La concurrence est rude entre les éditeurs d’applications et les premières places dans le Play store sont de plus en plus chères à conquérir. Les ressources, les tutoriels, les articles et les outils pour se lancer dans le développement d’une application Android se comptent par milliers.

IMP eBook Reader for Android I have started a project on CodePlex to read IMP files from the SD Card. The source code is free and will be posted today. I would like to ask for help on the Decompression algorithm in Java because in this first version the opening of the IMP book is really slow. Michael Finished Version 1.5 is now available for download at codeplex the APK install file for the Android and source code are found there. I have added the compiled installer for the Android 1.5 also to the codeplex site. Enjoy!

Open Source Ebook Readers for Android Your Android device is a versatile tool which can be put to a variety of practical uses, including reading ebooks. But for that you need a decent ebook reading app. While there are several ebook readers available on the Android Market, the Cool Reader and FBReader open source apps are probably the best of the bunch. There are several features that make Reader worthy of its name. For starters, Cool Reader really excels at format support: the app can handle all popular ebook and text formats, including EPUB, FB2, TXT, RTF, and HTML. But that’s only one of Cool Reader’s talents. Cool Reader provides basic tools for managing your ebook library. The app’s default interface offers a comfortable reading environment, but you can also tweak a wide range of settings from page background and page margins to alternative fonts and external stylesheets. While FBReader supports only the EPUB, OEB, and FictionBook formats, the app does have a few clever tricks up its sleeve.
