I have a more general coding question.
The App shazam are using a very cool design where you could slide images. I wonder what type of technique they most likely used to create this? I am interested in developing something similar for both Android and iOS.
Could there possibly be a tutorial or example code for something like this on the web? As far from what I've seen there are no "native" support for a design like this in iOS/Android? All experience is very appreciated. / Regards
Here is a good staring point:

I designed the graphic interface of an app and now I want to bring it to live on Android. I have never programmed an app based on my design, just learnt de basics following material design styles.
Will it be possible for me to make it look 100% like my design that I created from scratch disregarding material design, or will it have to be a Frankenstein between my design and Android's material design? Also, can I achieve my goal by using Android Studio or should I try React Native or others?
Thanks in advance!
It can look however you want it to look.
If you are struggling to get it to look how you want with Android Studio, but have knowledge of html+css, then giving React Native a go might be easier for you to fully customize it.
Just be aware that it is recommended to follow the guidelines at least a bit, especially in regards to locations of common buttons etc as users can get used to how apps 'work', and going against the flow with a completely new user-flow can sometimes make it harder to use, as it doesn't follow their expectations.
Is there a control on iOS or a well known library that offers info bubble functionality. (I am relatively new to iOS development so I am not sure if my search keywords are off or this is just not being used on iOS very much)
I would like to achieve something like this:
This comes from Android Tutorial Bubbles library.
I would like to avoid building this control by myself if there is already similar library or something that is being more widely used on iOS.
I found something similar called "ProductTour" but it seems to be quite limited.
Yes you can use PopOverPresentation style/segue to achieve this effect. But you have to customize.
I just customize just a little and here is the output.
I'm a new Android developer and I need to create an Android application which looks like Apple's App store (on both phone and tablet).
I'm a bit familiar with Native layout designer in Eclipse (ADT) and I find it really hard to design such an amazing UI.
I've searched a lot and I've found some web-based UI frameworks such as Phonegap and Chocolatechip-UI. Are these frameworks capable of designing such apps or not? Or do you suggest something else?
Thnx in advance
This question does not have a right or wrong answer. It really depends on how complex your UI is. How sleek you want it to be.
If your UI is pretty but simple and does not require very complex animations you could go for PhoneGap. however, if you have got very complex UI and want very sleek animations I suggest you use the native APIs.
This however, may change in the near future as web technology is improving really fast :)
I'm new to android developing so forgive me if this is a dumb question but i was trying to make an app with some nice graphical effects where you have some transparent objects that show a background that's only visible through the objects so they act like "windows". A very nice example of this can be found here. I would like to know if this kind of effect is possible in android? (I don't need to know about JavaFX I understand it there I just want to know how to achieve the same effect as shown on the site)
Thanks in advance, crognar.
Unfortunately, JavaFX 2 is not yet available on Android platform.
Recently I've been building an app using eclipse and the android xml editor for the layout/visual design of the app. I finished most of the code for the app and now i want to design the interface so its more usable and looks much better than standard buttons. Does anyone know of any tutorials or software or really any way to do this. All i could think of was use photoshop to create icons for the button and such but maybe there is a better way to go about designing the user interface of an app than using images from photoshop?
Hope I explained that well enough, Let me know if you need clarification.
