I want to make an android application that has "augmented reality" functionality in android application like start the camera and fill the colors virtually in real time. Please give me suggestion on it.
Thanks in advance.

Should be good base for your future work
There are a lot of SDK's available today to integrate augmented reality in android application.
You will find the below mentioned links useful to choose SDK based on your app requirement.

If you want to go with a example, try the below

I'm developing a dashboard app where I need several different charts/graphs. Is there any way that I can create them without any library? And if so, can you teach me how?
Thanks in advance!
If you want to learn how to use a chart properly I suggest you to watch this tutorial.
After that you can start something with live data and/or github arsenal implementations. But first start with the fundamentals. Hope that answered your question also.
Hi we are a small unit from Chennai having 3+ years of exp in Android programming. We have planned to move to Augmented Reality concept and we have decided to built the AR SDK from scratch! But we have no clue on where to start. We have already used KUDAN AND VUFORIA which are best at its sources but commercial. We know the principle behind the working concept of AR.
So what a SDK developer will plan before diving into coding? Kindly please dont close or downvote the question because as a 3+yrs experience we need some kind of more informations to achieve the task! Thanks for your support
First of all, you should know a bit more what this task require of you - you decided to do it from scratch without ANY effort estimation and cost estimation, because you do not know what is involved... This sounds like it might be a problem for you. I would strongly recommend making sure no AR open source SDK can assist you, since this is not a small project.
Now, if you insist... What I would suggest is to first set your goals - comparing to existing SDKs which you have examined, what do you want to achieve (performance-wise, memory-wise, API-wise, etc.).
Then, learn what feature-detection algorithms may be involved in order to achieve the required results, what type of system is required architecture-wise in order to meet the requirements. Design the architecture carefully, as the frame rate is the most critical issue usually on mobile AR apps. Also use the experience you got while trying to use other SDK-s - what was hard for you to use? What were you missing?
Once these are done, go and search for the technology to use - mainly, image processing library (such as OpenCV, and others).
Then, only then, you should start coding your SDK...
This is only the tip of the iceberg - you are up for a very big challenge.
In my application the customer want me to embed a tutorial to help users learn it. This tutorial would be in the form of a screen with animations showing how to perform tasks.
Before implementing this ... I want know if there is any framework already out there, that I can easily use?
Thanks
You could embed a video file using a VideoView.
No. You'll have to do this manually. Designing a general framework or library to do this would be very hard since the use cases will wildly vary from app to app.
I know that i can use a screen cast software to capture my display as well as my emulator. But how can i replace my mouse icon with a circle like in this video

Thanks
I use SimFinger for my iPhone promotional videos
This feature is entirely dependent on the screencasting software you choose. I believe Camtasia Studio does it (commercial software). There is also CamStudio which is free and claims to support mouse highlighting, but I've never used it.
I used iSimulate for this purpose. I think that is what they used in your example, too.
If you are looking to create a demo of your app for promotion, sharing, or feedback a couple of good options are available for iOS and Android.
For android you have appsurfer.com (I'm part of the team). For iOs users, you have pieceable.com and app.io
You can create embedable widgets of your apps and put them on blogs, product pages etc.
I have been developing Android apps, but never did a live wallpaper. I have seen one in the market, and just confused how to do a live wallpaper like the
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anifree.anipet.aquarium
How do i do? Is it that i need to learn Animations in Android? Or is there anything else. Would love if you can give me a brief overview of how to develop things as in the app i gave!
Thanks

Here is a tutorial on how to make live wallpapers. Its not too difficult, depending on what you want to do.
