User Interface Guidelines
|
The Android UI team has begun developing guidelines for the interaction and
visual design of Android applications. Look here for articles that describe
these guidelines as we release them. |
Your applications need a wide variety of icons, from a launcher icon to
icons in menus, dialogs, tabs, the status bar, and lists. The Icon Guidelines
describe each kind of icon in detail, with specifications for the size, color,
shading, and other details for making all your icons fit in the Android system.
The Icon Templates Pack is an archive of Photoshop and Illustrator templates and
filters that make it much simpler to create conforming icons. |

The Typetester is an online application for comparison of the fonts for the screen. Its primary role is to make web designer’s life easier. As the new fonts are bundled into operating systems, the list of the common fonts will be updated.

Processing & Android: Mobile App Development Made (Very) Easy
|
Those of you who have read this blog before will know that I do most of my work using Processing, an open-source programming language that was specifically created for artists and designers. It’s easy enough that you can learn the basics a day or two, but powerful enough to use for any number of applications, ranging from interactive installations to architecture to generative visual systems, and beyond. I’ve used it to visualize huge sets of data, to design a 1000 square-metre playground, and to create hundreds of small digital ‘sketches’. Over the last few months, Processing has gained yet another appealing attribute – you can now use it to quickly and easily create apps for mobile devices that use the Android operating system. |

USB drivers for the Orange San Francisco / ZTE Blade are only required for computers running Windows.
|
All Android phones require drivers to communicate with a Windows PC, including the Android Orange San Francisco / ZTE Blade, and other phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Desire. Linux and Mac users do not require drivers to use their Android phones. |
You do NOT need to install the USB drivers before following our guide on “How To Install Custom ROMs / Android 2.2 from scratch” |

Special thanks should go to Andreas Freise and Daniel Brown for creating this extension to the G4P library. These sliders are used extensively in their own 2D and 3D function plotting library gwoptics. As well as being cool these sliders have additional functionality including
|
floating point number ranges |
sliders can be constrained to ticks |
The skins shown in this example are included in the library download. To create your own skins you should read the documentation that comes with GWSlider.
