I am trying to create an app similar to "Kresta" app on Android.
I attached some images related to what I want to do.
I have tried searching but nothing has come up so far because I don't know what is this technique called. Please guide in the right direction.
Thanks.
I can probably add the curtains using bitmaps and canvas, I only need guidance in adding that editable yellow area.
You probably want to look at some of the libraries that are focused on image manipulation/transformation. The question you ask is very broad. Perhaps starting here will help you refine your search and/or questions: https://android-arsenal.com/tag/47

Based in this answer I think that exists a solution at least to system apps (or probably also in rooted devices?). Happens that i not understood the code example linked on answer comments. Someone could explain a step by step to achieve this please (with a code example if possible)? Thanks in advance.
Because of androids way of handling screenshots, excluding the overlay is not possible. But you could, as stated in your link, make the screenshot without your overlay.
This would result in having unrendered holes in your screenshot, whrere there would be only a black background.
If you want that, you could easyly just make your overlay black of the second you shoot the screenshot, or even disable the visibility, to get a clean screenshot. To give you a more detailed answer, we would need a more prescise question with examples and ideas how you wrote your code.
EDIT:
The problem is, that you could theoretically dig into androids source code and change the screenshot behaviour. But with that you would create a new Android version on your own. As #Hassan Uddin stated. Running that on your phone would require you to dig deep into androids source code and possibly not find any answer there.
It is not possible because it's like a security feature. If you are willing to spy on someone's screen, then you are too late it's 2021... the OS will not let you do so... you have to MOD the OS instead
You can not exclude overlay from screen capture. you can hide or make it transparent in case of your overlay. you can not handle third part overlay.
I am making a small application and I have noticed that a lot of people don't really check the menu to see all the possible options my app has, and I think that they don't know how to access it. I have seen this on an application some time ago, and I tought I should make something like that. I would like to display like a transparent image over the app with small arrow pointing to all the buttons that I have on my app. The problem is I don't really know how to make this and I thought may by somebody here knows how.
Try the Showcaseview library.
The ShowcaseView library is designed to highlight and showcase
specific parts of apps to the user with a distinctive and attractive
overlay. This library is great for pointing out points of interest for
users, gestures, or obscure but useful items.
The following is my instructions page for the application that is being worked upon. For now I am just display this image via the ImageView using the scaleXY property to make it pan out throughout the screen. I do know that this is a very lame approach to making a tutorials page ... So can someone please tell me how can I correctly implement this tutorials page in my application ? Thanks in advanced.
This here looks like it can help you.
You're current method works, but I think you'll find this alternative much more preferable.

I did search the internet to find an answer to my questions but there are no websites that did help me, so I hope someone can! Thank you in advance and have a nice day :-)
So these days I've been busy to get more into the Android Design guidelines and to learn more about it and how to implement it in my future applications. This is the main website I use to see what the guidelines are: http://developer.android.com/design/index.html. Great website but there are a few small things I just can't find in the dev guide or somewhere else. I just don't know how to implement some (simple) UI elements.
Can someone provide me code snippets of the following questions? (I want to know how to do it as simple as possible, how Google ment it!) It can help other (starting) developers too!
My main question is, are there special elements to achieve these things? As they are the key element in Android 4.0 it should have this things as some standard right?
1) Android 4.0 is using titles with dividers a lot in there new theme and it's looking great. But I can't find how to do implement this element simple like it should. What I want to know is how to make this blue title text with the grey looking divider underneath it look at this picture:
2) How to make section dividers in general? Like this image:
3) How to make a list with section dividers and give a list-item a 2-line explanation under it's name like this:

In most cases how you are going to have to do it is create a custom layout. I tried recreating the look of the people application this way. for the most part the look you are going for is similar to the PreferenceActivityview. That gives you the look of the last image and probably how it was done in the People application with some extra programming. I just found it easier to create my own layout though instead of trying to mess around with that.
To my knowledge there is nothing in the api to create what you are looking to do easily and custom layout are going to be the way to go.
the custom dialog layout like you show in the beginning is very simple to do so if you dont know how to do manipulate layouts I would start there. look up the android color swatches to get the color of that blue
Edit
another thing you could do is look through the People source code and see how they did it but it will probably be more of a pain than what its worth when you can just do a layout
Hi friends i am planned to work on user interface part, i wanted to make my own user interface for my gallery application. for example gallery view should be in semi circular view. can any one suggest me on this
Thanks in advance
Do you want something like this!!
you can find it in this link
sorry but the link is in french language but you can find sources in the bottom of the page Mirror links
You should start by learning more about the Gallery in general. This link would make a good start.
Understand that code, go through the tutorials and begin experimenting on making incremental changes and seeing if they work.
Using this knowledge and prototype code start thinking about how you might go about creating your custom semi-circle gallery. Experiment and try some different things.
When/if you run into any issues or specific problems, post your question on a new thread and I'm sure you will find people willing to help you out.
