I am using the PanoramaGL to render some Spherical images in my App.
My images are more than 3000 pixels larger. I tried using PLSpherical2Panorama of PanoramaGL that supports 2048x2048 but the quality is not good.(I resized my images)
Then I split my panoramas into cubic images, each face got 1527x1527px. I edited the panoramaGL library to support cubic images of 2048x2048px(originally it supported only 1024x1024). The quality was better than spherical2, but yet was not what I expect, and the performance got horrible too.
A friend is making the same app for iOS and he used that library: https://bitbucket.org/javieralonso/japanoview
The result was perfect.
So, my question is: anyone knows any android library that renders spherical or cubic images and have the hotspot feature?
I have found PanoDroid(http://www.frank-durr.de/panodroid.html) that is a library to download Flickr images and transform them into a panorama image.
I had to change a lot of things in the library and just use her kernel, but the result was very good. Panodroid do a great job with big images.
But unfortunatelly Panodroid don't implement Hotspots. I will have to add this feature into the library.
--EDIT--
Frank Durr had transformed PanoDroid into a open source project.
Here is the link to his explanations: http://www.frank-durr.de/?p=26
And here is the link for the OpenPanoDroid: https://github.com/duerrfk/OpenPanodroid
You can also now use Google VR's VrPanoramaView

Are there any examples on how to encode animated WebP for Android,
or maybe someone was successful and can guide me through it?
I have a batch of webP images, and I want to create an animated one from them,
There is the libwebp library, however, it does not support animated webP, If I understood correctly from what I read, I need to use 'webpmux' and I have no idea how to integrate and use it.
I saw this post from 08/11, it's not relevant for me because I need to create an animated webP, not a single one.
Even if there is any GIF to webP library, that's good enough.
Thanks in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated!
Amongst its many capabilities, ffmpeg will encode a series of PNGs as a webp animation with alpha.
In this eample, files 0001.png to XXXX.png, where all the images are the same size.
ffmpeg -i %04d.png animation.webp
Explanation: I am new to android. I don't know how to load panorama image in my android application.I tried more it's loaded from the drawable folder. But, i want to load it from the url to my android application.
Many of people suggest me to use panoramaGl ready-mate library. i tried this libraries too but not gave the output as much i expected.
Please, help me what is the best solution to load panorama image from url and load into my android application.
Kindly refer, it may help

Another option is to use Panoramagl-android library
I am making an app that generates GIF from images taken on camera.
I have used two libraries to generate GIF, this one and this one, but both generate GIF with awful quality. Image is posterized.
For example, here is the original image:
and here is the image generated by Gifflen library:
There are some apps on Google Store that generate GIF and don't destroy image quality. Is there a way to increase GIF quality (generation time increase is ok) or is there another library that can generate GIF?
EDIT
Like Wildopper said in the comment, it is probably dithering of the image that is causing the problem. Here is the explanation on Wikipedia, but I don't know how to implement it.
I would like to use WebP format to animate GIFs as the alternative to native GIF format or MP4, but I have no clue how to actually decode it in Android and show it in the view.
The Giphy app could be used as the reference. I would like to achieve similar result with the webp animation.
I found a 3rd party library - Fresco (Facebook). It provides a view for the animation as well as animates it. But this library increases the build size by several(!) megabytes.
Does anybody have a solution or suggestion how to display the animated WebP animation on native Android (not in WebView)?
Thanks in advance!
The "several" megabytes of Fresco become one megabyte if you ship separate APKs for different CPUs. See the instructions.
I want to change bitmap images (.png) in my android application to SVG images. I work with the android basic engine.
what is the best solution?
thank you for help :)
SVG is not a image supported by android

That means you need custom code to make it work
I haven't tried myself but a quick google search and voila
