How to replicate Facebook Album Gallery (android) - android

I was wondering how can I replicate the sideways gallery like the facebook mobile app but being able to scroll down the feed anytime I want.
I was thinking about "listening" for side-swypes and replacing the current ImageView but that doesn't sound like an elegant solution.
I searched for awhile and didn't find any library worth using
Is there any library or do you have any idea how to do it?

You could use the ViewPager component.
Reference: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/ViewPager.html
Here are some tutorial that can help you get started:

I think you can do this by using
1) here is library for rotating menu https://github.com/dmitry-zaitsev/CircleLayout
2) use carousel view and set z depth according to your requirement http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/146145/Android-3D-Carousel

Android Gallery View Semi Circle Theme

Hi friends i am planned to work on user interface part, i wanted to make my own user interface for my gallery application. for example gallery view should be in semi circular view. can any one suggest me on this
Thanks in advance
Do you want something like this!!
you can find it in this link
sorry but the link is in french language but you can find sources in the bottom of the page Mirror links
You should start by learning more about the Gallery in general. This link would make a good start.
Understand that code, go through the tutorials and begin experimenting on making incremental changes and seeing if they work.
Using this knowledge and prototype code start thinking about how you might go about creating your custom semi-circle gallery. Experiment and try some different things.
When/if you run into any issues or specific problems, post your question on a new thread and I'm sure you will find people willing to help you out.

Android: Is that possible to implement a flip/page curl from top to bottom like iphone?

I am implementing an app in which i need to flip/pagecurl a pageview? how can i do that? I didnot find a solution for this. I searched a lot in google? Can any one help me on this?
Three possibilities I can think of.
You can implement it using cocos2d-x. There are a lot of scene's transitions which also contains the page curl animation you describe.
There is an open source project called android_page_curl which does this.
Depending on the android versions you are supporting, you can try RenderScript to create that animation.

Android - first launch interactive tutorial

I'm writing a new app for android and I would like to implement also a first launch tutorial. In particular, the tutorial has to be interactive. Basically, after a user registers to the service, a minimum settings will be required.
I'd like something like today we have into Google Apps, like Sheets, Docs and so far. The exception there is that those tutorials have the aim to explain how the app works. Here I want to have something where user can input some data.
I was looking at ShowcaseView but seems to be deprecated and old in style.
So here the question is: what is the best way to implement that? ViewPager?
I also had a look to this other question, but it did not help too much.
Any advice is really appreciated.
EDIT: I have found this other nice alternative. AppIntro It seems what I was looking for. :)
There are few I found by quick searching Github:
https://github.com/Seishin/showcaseview-android
https://github.com/worker8/TourGuide
https://github.com/amlcurran/ShowcaseView
I'm pretty sure you can find the right one for you ;)
You can do it in several ways that really depends on you and your app. Basically you can create a "Boarding" experience with ViewPager that will go thru the main screen of your app (with static images for example) where you explain the user what goes on in your app. The other way way is an interactive tutorial as the user already landed into your app - you can achieve this with something like Showcase (I'm pretty sure that there are libs on GitHub that are still maintained).
I would recommend Roman Nuriks Wizard Pager code on Github as a starting point. It's not so much a library as a sample code showing you how to do what you want.
The general approach is to use a ViewPager with some form of navigation buttons to move the user forwards and backwards through the pager Fragments.
