I'm new to android developing so forgive me if this is a dumb question but i was trying to make an app with some nice graphical effects where you have some transparent objects that show a background that's only visible through the objects so they act like "windows". A very nice example of this can be found here. I would like to know if this kind of effect is possible in android? (I don't need to know about JavaFX I understand it there I just want to know how to achieve the same effect as shown on the site)
Thanks in advance, crognar.
Unfortunately, JavaFX 2 is not yet available on Android platform.

I designed the graphic interface of an app and now I want to bring it to live on Android. I have never programmed an app based on my design, just learnt de basics following material design styles.
Will it be possible for me to make it look 100% like my design that I created from scratch disregarding material design, or will it have to be a Frankenstein between my design and Android's material design? Also, can I achieve my goal by using Android Studio or should I try React Native or others?
Thanks in advance!
It can look however you want it to look.
If you are struggling to get it to look how you want with Android Studio, but have knowledge of html+css, then giving React Native a go might be easier for you to fully customize it.
Just be aware that it is recommended to follow the guidelines at least a bit, especially in regards to locations of common buttons etc as users can get used to how apps 'work', and going against the flow with a completely new user-flow can sometimes make it harder to use, as it doesn't follow their expectations.
I have a doubt.
How to design a user interface in Photoshop and grab that PS files and then place them into Android Studio and apply them to our app.
I really need help for this so please do not close this question.
Any video tutorials or websites which would help me out would be really appreciated.
I really want to start developing apps and put them in the Play Store with great material design and transitions plus great user interface.
Any help for material design?
You simply canno't do that.
Android can't handle psd file by default.
I believe there exists some exporters that can do that.
Maybe something like that would be useful.
I have a more general coding question.
The App shazam are using a very cool design where you could slide images. I wonder what type of technique they most likely used to create this? I am interested in developing something similar for both Android and iOS.
Could there possibly be a tutorial or example code for something like this on the web? As far from what I've seen there are no "native" support for a design like this in iOS/Android? All experience is very appreciated. / Regards
