Hi can anyone I am trying to make a game that uses a dpad. I have been playing gmaes that have them but can't find any good reference's. Am I wrong to be trying to create buttons to do this? I am new to android.
A lot of game engines have provisions for d-pads, I think http://www.andengine.org has one.

I want to start making a game for Android and I'm looking for a good resource to use to make the ui, I want to make a game like EzpzRPG or monster warlord I want the ui to be similar, any advice?
I would suggest this for game development. But then again do you have experience with Android or Java itself?
Learning about Android API is the first step.
I have done apps which uses only pictures and sound clips. What I want to do is to build an Android app which involves animation. I have seen many of the "Water effect" apps in play store, which has quite good animation effect. One of my them is "Koi Pond". I would like to do the similar kind of app for sand. The detailing of the animation should look good as we see and touch the real sand.
I'm new to animation stuff and have no idea about it. Can anyone please help me out with how to use the detailed animation for Android? I know that it is not possible only with java. Please refer me to any blogs/docs available on this stuff.
Thanx
For such effects (as used in Koi Pond) you will need several pixel shaders. To use it you will need to us OpenGL ES 2.0. I would recommend using a game engine like AndEngine for the basic setup and the shader usage. If you have no experience with shaders it won't be that easy!
I'm not sure if AndEngine is the best choice for that, but it is possible with it.
Check it out http://www.andengine.org/
There are also a couple of shader tutorials in the forum
At first for translate or some other simple animation you can use android native animation method , but for great things you can use , this , I think it's all you want ;)

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 want to make the balls fall from above
Try android game engines, they are set of classes to develop games. try andengine thats the best one i know but not a nice tutorial is available although you can see examples and learn from them.
i have just gone through making some basic apps on android and was wondering
how to get graphics on the screen....and how to go about
developing something like the tom cat application first and then go onto games...
could you'll plz point me in the right direction as to how to approach this...
and wat all it requires?
I highly recommend you read through this series of tutorials to get you started with drawing 2D graphics on Android for games.
The Android API "Lunar Lander" got me started on 2D gaming. Of course, it's now apparent that there are flaws in it the demo, but still.. It gives you an idea of how to draw objects on the screen.
It sound like you are new to development, if yes: you should read more basic
Everything is on android development official site.
Ho through basic and learn math then you will be able to do complex apps like Tom cat
