How to Implement a Word Cloud on a layout in Android? - android

I found Tag-Cloud but I think it is not yet ready. Does anyone have any word cloud generator libraries available that allows you to customize it's design?
I have found this and it seems usable:
https://github.com/sschwieb/Cloudio
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Zest/Cloudio
https://code.google.com/p/memeplex/source/browse/trunk/Android/src/kr/ac/yonsei/memeplex/view/TagCloudLayout.java?r=31
Though it might need to be changed or edited a little. I hope somebody can help me. I will be offering bounties in the next few hours
If you can offer any algorithms I will gladly study it as well.
Thanks in advance!

Depending on what your actual requirements are, you could use a really nice and customisable javascript word cloud written in D3 like https://github.com/jasondavies/d3-cloud and then embed it in a WebView in your Android app. There is an example on how to do that at https://github.com/mitchwongho/D3Android
Here is a simple example I made demonstrating this https://github.com/rbarbantan/android-word-cloud

Building Android Loading Dialog Box with AIR

I am starting to develop android applications using AS3.
As much as I've searched I did not find how to make android loading box using AIR!
It seems there is no way to do so!
Can anybody help me in this regard please?!
I kindly beg you to search more and more. Your topic is a rare and helpful one I also appreciate that but I think you just need to increase your Googling Abilities :D
I guess I know what you were searching for so I just searched about your topic and the result is exactly what you need I am sure.
You know,, you can not access android device-specific libraries and features with AS3 for these are not available in the built-in AS3 classes. There are some air extensions provided to help us the air developers who want to make Android or iOS apps though.
Am I clear enough? if not go to this link please. Here you can learn more and even use some extensions in your projects if necessary: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air.html
And a happy link for you and your topic:
http://www.myappsnippet.com/loading-dialog-air-extension
Just tell me if this is what you wanted. I'll be happy!
This is fairly standard and has been covered here a few times. Like this for example.
as3 loading screen
or this ROC tutorial
as3 preloader
U basically calculate the current percentage in a progress event and change a bar's width or scale accordingly.

Android Source Codes, Custom Controls, Open Source Libraries

As I was googling, I found lot of codes and libraries. But all of them
are on different sites and could not find any managed site.
like for iPhone : http://cocoacontrols.com/
Is there any such site where I can find codes for Custom Controls..
I know some of top favourite like github.com, anddev.org and Im following too.
Please reply any such site that you found useful.
Thanks
hie vishal, I don't think there is any specific site wherein you can find custom coding source codes. But yes the top favorite list that you have specified indeed have lot of in it.
Secondly, apart from those there are many other sites like
http://blog.pocketjourney.com/2008/03/15/tutorial-1-transparent-panel-linear-layout-on-mapview-google-map/
http://mindtherobot.com/blog/272/android-custom-ui-making-a-vintage-thermometer/
and many more according to your requirements. You can learn and take their references for your requirement.
There is a lot more on the developer site for styles and themes which can definately make use off.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

How can implement captcha Using android

Can any one give some suggestions to implement captcha in android
A little bit of shameless self-promotion, but I recently had this same question, and after combing through StackOverflow.com realized that all of the solutions out there are Remote API based (which would require my simple app to require Internet permissions), and either were super difficult to implement on Android, or were limited by use based numbers and you could not get that number raised.
So I started a project, and put it on GitHub, Click here
Current features are limited, but I hope they will grow with the open-source community:
Simple Text Captcha, editable length.
Simple Math Captcha, editable math operators.
The biggest feature of all is ease of use!
Take a look to this project, they have a some android's examples
https://labs.ericsson.com/apis/captcha/downloads
https://labs.ericsson.com/apis/captcha/documentation
or maybe use this
http://simplecaptcha.sourceforge.net/
to get some ideas.

Where to find Android Development Homework Problems

Ok so I am starting off with android development and I have found a bunch of useful tutorials so I am set there. What I am looking for is a resource that provides homework style problems to do and has the answers downloadable so I can check my solution against the "official" solution.
So for example instead of the notepad tutorial it would be: "Build an application that you can create, edit, delete notes, ...etc.". Ideally the "official" solution would have some explanation as to why they built it the way they did. (so a tutorial at the tail end)
Anyone know of any resources that provide their tutorials in this format?
Thanks.
Okay, here's one: build me an app that allows the user to make, modify, and store notes. The 'official' answer is the Notepad app in the 9th level of the api. (Note that this is different from the notepad tutorial).
The point is that asking questions is easy, the harder part is actually making a program that does the job. And #Roflecoptr is right, at this level it can be implemented very differently. But if you want that mindset, you can write your own 'homework' easily. Just think up a few things you want that are simple, build it, does it do what you want well? Then you pass.
Despite for very trivial problems I dont think this is possible, because there are way to much possible implementation possibilites so that you can't compare your solution to the "official" solution.
But why do you need something like that? If you want to learn to program on Android, you can just follow some tutorials you've already found and then modify them, adapt them to your needs. When you get more used to the development of Android apps you can just get some ideas on tutorials/android development sites and then implement your own solution. There is plenty of help available here on SO and on other development sites, which will help you if you really get stuck.
You could always go to the Android Samples page, and without looking at their implementations, do your own and compare. The samples page is here:
