This guy has implemented it and was kind enough to share the code too. Only watch the video and download the code. And don't forget to give him credit in the code.

How to replicate Facebook Album Gallery (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:

How to add our own gestures in android?

I am working on the gestures concept. I want know some thing about how to add our own gestures in android.For example if user drawn "O" symbol i want to make some events. Please share some tutorials and Snippet of the code.
There are quite a few results available with a relatively simple Google search. I would normally post a sarcastic comment or something. :-)
But this isn't quite an everyday subject if you would, so I have here a few links that should get you started. But you should work on your Google foo too. ;-)

I found the 5th link a little more promising. Of course, I haven't seen too much of it for that to be definite. But try them all anyway.
Check the link below which will guide on how to create our own gestures and use it.

Go throug some of the links you will surely get some idea about gestures.

Android user interface elements usage

I did search the internet to find an answer to my questions but there are no websites that did help me, so I hope someone can! Thank you in advance and have a nice day :-)
So these days I've been busy to get more into the Android Design guidelines and to learn more about it and how to implement it in my future applications. This is the main website I use to see what the guidelines are: http://developer.android.com/design/index.html. Great website but there are a few small things I just can't find in the dev guide or somewhere else. I just don't know how to implement some (simple) UI elements.
Can someone provide me code snippets of the following questions? (I want to know how to do it as simple as possible, how Google ment it!) It can help other (starting) developers too!
My main question is, are there special elements to achieve these things? As they are the key element in Android 4.0 it should have this things as some standard right?
1) Android 4.0 is using titles with dividers a lot in there new theme and it's looking great. But I can't find how to do implement this element simple like it should. What I want to know is how to make this blue title text with the grey looking divider underneath it look at this picture:
2) How to make section dividers in general? Like this image:
3) How to make a list with section dividers and give a list-item a 2-line explanation under it's name like this:

In most cases how you are going to have to do it is create a custom layout. I tried recreating the look of the people application this way. for the most part the look you are going for is similar to the PreferenceActivityview. That gives you the look of the last image and probably how it was done in the People application with some extra programming. I just found it easier to create my own layout though instead of trying to mess around with that.
To my knowledge there is nothing in the api to create what you are looking to do easily and custom layout are going to be the way to go.
the custom dialog layout like you show in the beginning is very simple to do so if you dont know how to do manipulate layouts I would start there. look up the android color swatches to get the color of that blue
Edit
another thing you could do is look through the People source code and see how they did it but it will probably be more of a pain than what its worth when you can just do a layout

Scrollview with paging in android

is there a simple/native way to implement paging/pagination on scrollviews?
By simple, I mean with a short piece of code mainly using classes from Android SDK, like, when programming on iPhone, writing "pagingEnabled = YES".
When I was looking for the topic on the Internet, I saw people putting pieces of code about that matter, but these pieces of code were very large, and I can't help myself to believe Google did put a simple way to do it in their SDK. I also think that the code to implement it could be much easier than what I saw when looking for it. I'm currently working on it, but in the meantime, if anyone know a easier way to do it, I would be delighted to know about it.
Thanks for reading!
I think that there is not a fast solution to do this.
But what you can do is to take the gallery component and override the layout. The gallery component has paging :)
Another solution could be:
Horizontal Pager - https://github.com/ysamlan/horizontalpager
Real View Switcher http://marcreichelt.blogspot.com/2010/09/android-use-realviewswitcher-to-switch.html
Hope this helps...

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.
