I have been developing Android apps, but never did a live wallpaper. I have seen one in the market, and just confused how to do a live wallpaper like the

How do i do? Is it that i need to learn Animations in Android? Or is there anything else. Would love if you can give me a brief overview of how to develop things as in the app i gave!
Thanks

I want to make an android application that has "augmented reality" functionality in android application like start the camera and fill the colors virtually in real time. Please give me suggestion on it.

Should be good base for your future work
There are a lot of SDK's available today to integrate augmented reality in android application.
You will find the below mentioned links useful to choose SDK based on your app requirement.

If you want to go with a example, try the below

In my application the customer want me to embed a tutorial to help users learn it. This tutorial would be in the form of a screen with animations showing how to perform tasks.
Before implementing this ... I want know if there is any framework already out there, that I can easily use?
Thanks
You could embed a video file using a VideoView.
No. You'll have to do this manually. Designing a general framework or library to do this would be very hard since the use cases will wildly vary from app to app.
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 really like some effects in iPad. Especial flipboard, but I am an android developer at the moment, so I want to build an app which has the same effect. But I cannot find any source code about it on the Internet. On youtube I found a video I really like. Can someone help me?
Hey… Here is a quick guide for getting the clipboard effect on your Android phone. Just go through this tutorial for getting it. Hope it will be helpful to you.
http://openaphid.github.com/blog/2012/07/27/how-to-handle-touch-events-for-flip-animation/ there u go, but it is on opengl, and i'm not sure if it supports complex views as ListView. If you want to make one from the scratch i also recommend you this link. It is on Flex, but the principle is similar. http://oreilly.com/pub/a/javascript/archive/flashhacks.html?page=1
I apologise if this is the wrong place to ask this question, I did my best to make sure it has not been asked before and thorougly searched the web for any similar answer.
So here goes: I am having a very hard time finding any sort of reference, or better yet a tutorial on how to create a wallpaper pack for android.
To elaborate, I do not mean a live wallpaper of any kind. Just a pack of selected wallpapers packaged into an applications for distribution through the market. Ideally wih its own selection interface.
There are precedents on the market but for the life of me I cannot find any information.
Any ideas, opinions or suggestions? Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way?
Many thanks for the help!
Here is the GitHub repository for the wallpaper pack that CyanogenMod has. It should be pretty simple to base yours off of this.
