I was wondering how to get to add some custom designed animated GIF emoticons to native applications in android like SMS/EMAIL and to other applications like Whatsapp?
I know how to display an animated Gif in Android using AnimationDrawable object. I just want to know if it's possible to do the following:
1) Add custom animated images to Whatsapp application.
2) Add custom animated images to SMS/EMAIL in some easy way?
Just give me hints. I have been looking everywhere.
Thanks in advance.
Unless the application explicitly provides hooks for you to extend its configuration with particular animations/images there is no way to add any content to the existing application APKs. As far as I can tell the whatsapp application and the default email and sms apps do not provide extension hooks, so you won't be able to do this.

I am trying to create an android instant messaging app for a school. So I had downloaded Telegram's app code from github.I was wondering how I could add more emote icons to it, so that I could make few new sets of icons and add it to the existing ones. Or can you tell me how to add custom emoji's to the code.
I couldn't find any tutorial online.
You should upload your code, so we can see what it is about.
Also provide a link to download the project from github.
You also need to know the basic of Photoshop. If you want to
create custom icons you rreally need to know how thinks work.
you can find the Emoji's Map, and extend it with your Emojis, Entry Should look like:
sEmojisMap.put(0x1f354, R.drawable.emoji_1f354);
it's little complex to deal with . but this link mey help:

I'm currently developing an Android app for a client. Problem is their mockup screens contained a UI view that I'm unfamiliar with. In short, I'm not sure what approach/implementation to use.

Any suggestions on what implementation I can use?

Can I use glyphicons in an android app?
If yes, how?
You can use ImageView to simply display a picture.
However Glyphicons icons are not free.
It's free for Twitter Bootstrap due to a partnership only.
If you want to display a SVG picture, take a look to this article.
Allthough it is possible to use any custom image in an imageview it is not recomended by the android branding guide, since the android user is familiar with android's own icons.
To use them you can put them among your resources and use them just like you would do with other resources, images and icons.
I have an application created for 3D carousel view using open gl es. I want to display contacts or gallery images in 3D carousel view using the created application. How to approach? How an I use one application as library for another application?
You're probably talking about making another application use your app. This cannot be possible, since you can't really change someone else's application. But you can make your own application that will view Contacts or Gallery data using your carousel view, since contact and media data are accessible using Content Providers. Hope this helps.
Either use code for your carousel as library in current app and access contacts or gallery directly from it or use intents as someone said to provide content to 3D carousel (probably trough some adapter)
I have created an Android app using the standard controls available. It seems that most apps on the market have their own set of controls. It generally looks much better that the standard controls. How do I create better looking control? Can I just apply a theme or should I overwrite the onDraw method? For instance, there is a problem with the default android spinner control details here .
adding custom images is the best way to have more eye-catching GUI, use colorful & meaningful images to your application to appeal users. Custom theme's and styles are helpful too.....
You can apply different themes and styles on the one hand or work with 9patch-drawables - have a look here for details and examples
