i need to render Fluid inside a bottle and when the device is rotated
Fluid dynamics isn't a simple topic. The simplest example of fluid flow is 2D, incompressible, irrotational, laminar flow. I'd start by looking into that.
You cannot do it in a week, you'll have to learn it.
You can learn from this java example http://www.jbox2d.org/liquid/ Unless your simulation is very small and 2D, you'll probably need to use a C/C++ library with the NDK to get any reasonable framerate.
Google did release a Physics library based on box2d (using NDK) for android. http://google.github.io/liquidfun/ This could be a good resource to get started but unless you understand Physics well, you won't be able to do much.

My thesis is to create an 3D android game. I have installed the 3D softwares like 3DS Max, ZBrush, Blender. I also downloaded Android SDK for Windows and I have Eclipse Juno. But I don't know how to start. Thank you in advance. :)
If you want to write a game, use a game engine.
I would advice against using OpenGL directly if you want to focus
on game mechanics or story. 3D game engines like
Unity or JMonkeyEngine
give you all the tools you need to turn your 3D assets into a game:
Importers for various file formats, a scene graph,
math libraries, and usually tons of example projects that get you
started quickly.
If you want to write a rendering engine, use OpenGL
With OpenGL you can build everything mentioned above yourself: Write
or find importers for your assets, figure out a lighting model, write
a scene graph. If you want to do all that, cool, use OpenGL. But
doing this technical stuff will keep you busy; you will have less time
to make a really great game.
I prefer OpenGL ES for Android. Good performance and easy enough to learn.
It's better to start from basic with opengl and then understand concept of using 3d and then prefer standard tool to use.
I have listed android game engine tool for 2d and 3d. Hope it might help u.

Start with unity3d which is a game engine, I am not sure but the names that you have posted are used for making 3d models for the game.
Your Thesis? That's pretty broad scope! :)
What I would be looking for, is something with lots of example code (since you say you don't know where to start) and good community involvement (ditto the start thing).
If you only need a single player setting, then I would suggest libGDX as a place that would be a good jumping off platform, as there are lots and lots of step thru tutorials along with lots of example code (and a very up to date wiki on the API), and a pretty good group at helping out with issues.
Since it is open source, you can dig as deep as you want into the inner workings to understand (or be mystified like me) as to how the code is accomplishing whatever task you are looking at. (which might be handy for your thesis)
While it might not be quite as polished as some other commercial 3d development kits, the BadLogic crew has made some very big progress the past few months on the 3d side of the house, along with breaking my JSON code... thanks! :) )
I'm looking for a 'basic' AR SDK that allows me to draw images and 3D shapes around the user (no matter where he is). It would be even better if the SDK includes a simple way to detect interaction with the shapes (something like onClick).
I made a project from scratch on Android but there's still a lot of work to do and I'll need to do the same on iOS after... So that's why I'm looking for an SDK or a similar project (no matter what platform).
I tested Metaio but it's quite expensive and maybe overkill for my purpose because it uses LLA coordinates.
I tested DroidAR on Android but it's only for Android and it looks heavy too (don't need the GPS).
How about Qualcomm's Vuforia? I was able to quickly get a sample project running on it.
EDIT Looks like I was wrong about what it could do. According to this (which is slightly dated, so who knows) Metaio might be your only choice.
i really don't sure what you really want to do ..but if you simply show images or 3d models on camera without any detection you can achieve this very easily i am explaining for Android and you can extend it to ios on same logic.
first approach:
you have to use custom camera of Android in your app,then use any game engine as per your need..i will suggest Jpct-ae or Rajawali
they are very simple to integrate and can be used for 2d images and 3d models.
this tutorial will explains a lot
keep the gl-surafce transparent and you can have model floating in space ...
second approach :
to add some more effect to your AR app you can use sensor values to move model in 3d space as per movement of device..it gives a cool effect.
use first approach and additionally collect sensor values and apply that matrix to gl camera of your game engine..for sensor values follow here
good tutorial here..
i hope this may help you..i done these a long time ago but try to help if you want..
I have seen several posts here about cocos2d-android, so ambition to get more idea on it drag me at coco2ds-android-1 and a good example .
My analysis can not find any significant benefit of using coco2ds instead of usual 2d approach of surfaceView and SurfaceHolder.Callback .
I will be thankful if anybody have expertise over coco2ds-android will guide me about benefits to use it instead of usual gaming approach .
Just by clicking on links starting from the ones in OP, I have came across http://dan.clarke.name/2011/04/how-to-make-a-simple-android-game-with-cocos2d/ - which states the obvious answer you are looking for.
First of all, this is a 2D gaming engine. All of the physics and whatnot effects are just there for you. No need to re-implement from scratch
Secondly, this is actually a port of the iPhone gaming library with the same name - great news if you also plan on porting to iPhone. And thirdly it is open sourced, meaning you can tweak anything accordingly.
I have noticed however that this is a pure java library, so do not expect amazing performance. If performance is critical, google for something NDK based, not SDK based. I could not advise here as gaming is not my thing.
Ok my question is simple:
How do I start working with 2D graphics on android? Untill now,I found on the how to make almost anything on Android,however with graphics I see is harder.
On the android sdk website,I get some simple codes that don't really help me,and I also searched for a book,guess what,I didn't find one that actually shows you how to make a little game explaining me what does every line of code.
So: How do I start working with 2D graphics? I'm interested because I want to make some games.I would be very happy to find a tutorial for ex. that shows you how to make a little character that just jumps over a box.I know you need an engine and all that stuff,and I would actually want to learn how to make a little engine.
libGDX runs on Android (and a few other platforms) and provides high level 2D graphics features like sprites, fonts, tile maps, particles, etc.
Tutorials here.
A few complete demo games with source code here.
Here's a whole series that seems pretty decent, and starts from the beginning.
Also, the techniques of "generic" 2D programming apply, so general-purpose game engine information is useful as well.
If you are interested in android games(2d), I recommend this book http://www.amazon.com/dp/1430230428/
The following book is very good for learning 2d graphics in Android.
"Android 2D graphics with Canvas API".
http://www.amazon.com/Android-Graphics-Canvas-API-ebook/dp/B00DKIAVK8/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374420538&sr=1-8&keywords=android+2d
It is not for game developers though.
It teaches how to use graphics primitives and work with different coordinate systems. It also has a chapter on multithreading.
It has many simple examples good for beginners.
Hey all.... I am currently trying to make a game on the android platform. I want some guidelines on choosing a good android 2D game engine. I have been looking on the internet for sometime and have found these game engines to choose from the one which doesn't have a huge learning curve
AndEngine
libGdx (The one m most impressed by)
JMonkeyEngine
For anyone who wants to know more about the different game engines the following link should help you..
http://www.cuteandroid.com/ten-open-source-android-2d-or-3d-game-engine-for-android-developers
I intend to keep the interface simple yet attractive, so want to choose the correct engine, and also want to choose the correct engine using which making complex games also is easy in my future projects. If some one could tell me commercially used free (or open sourced) game engines i would be really grateful. I even wouldn't mind learning a 3D game engine if its learning curve is not that too steep and its implementation of 2D games is also pretty simple.
Andengine hides most of the complexity from you, so its super easy to get started, but because of this you do not have full control over it. The documentation or javadocs is close to zero, so dont expect anything from there.
As for libgdx, its harder to learn, but the community is bigger and more matured, and u have more control to the engine.
no idea about the monkey engine.
