I have a got a Google Card board with me and have basic knowledge of Android development. So I was thinking of creating a simple Google Cardboard App, which would show an image (panoramic or photosphere) with VR effect.
Can any one guide on how to do this, thanks in advance.
By far the easiest way to make your first Cardboard app is using the Google Cardboard Plugin for Unity.
If you're not already familiar, Unity is a free game engine that lets you quickly create 3D games for almost any platform, including Android. I made a 3D shooting game for cardboard in Unity in only two days, and I've never made a game before.
RajawaliCardboard App module is the perfect example of how to do it. It's easy to implement and works well with images from photosphere and panorama images.
You can find the documentation here: https://developers.google.com/cardboard/android/
You can try this

I have an idea to make an AR android app using Vuforia and Unity3d with Android Studio. I have never worked with Vuforia so i don't know if it is possible or not.
Basically in app user can set target for Vuforia through mobile camera and he can also assign which object is displayed on that target. For example user takes a picture of a glass as a target and he also sets a video of how glass is made (from uploading or through youtube link). And then video is augmented on glass target.
i don't know if its possible? and how?
any tutorials and guidance would be appreciated.
thanks :)
In order to track an image target you have to create database in your case a user defined one. And this database should be created using Target Manager from Vuforia webpage. Then you have to download this database and add it to your Unity project like this. Therefore, I do not think you can create image targets while your game is running.
I would like to create a tour like the demo of google cardboard palace of Versailles. I'm not much of Android expert. Can you give me some advice on how to do? I tried it with unity but Android does not support movie textures and should I buy a plugin. But I would avoid buying. Is there any example of such a code?
I am working in iOS and Android app that play 2D Panoramic video player.
We find an Open Source iOS 2D Panorama Video Player app
But we can't find any open source library for android.
Please suggest any open source android 2D video player to achive this.
As your question is 3 months old by now, you probably found it (or something else) yourself.
However, as other people might still be searching for it: gvr-android-sdk is Google's SDK for various VR-usages. Take a look at the simplevideowidget-sample included in the SDK.
There is also an iOS-Version available.

Not long ago, you could watch a stream, but you couldn't publish one as Flash for Android does not have access to the camera.
However, recently OpenTok has recently tried to rectify this:

Have 3 flash games that I would like to integrate in a menu / list in an android app. So when the user selects the game from the list, the game starts with help of android flash player.
Is it best to do this with WebView or is there something better? I do not know where to place the flash games to get them in my compiled application.
Is there a good tutorial?
Thanks!
Adobe flash provides one good way: You can build an air for android app. Use that to create your menu and compile all three games into your AIR app.
Here are some tutorial links about it and also about publishing AIR for Android applications:

I don't believe the android flash player can be launched from an intent yet, so using the Java Android will not solve it (for now)
And a third approach you mentioned, ought to work - using a webview.
