I am new to Android and I want to develop 2D/3D games in Android. Can you suggest me good books and/or tutorials on the subject?
So what do you want to create? 2D games or 3D games (title and text each say differently)?
2D Programming for games can be done in "Canvas"... you'll find many many tutorials when you google for that...
i.e. http://www.tutorialforandroid.com/2009/06/drawing-with-canvas-in-android.html
3D Development basically is done in OpenGL... the thing is that all depends on what you want to create exactly... There are several 3D engines for Gaming on Android, but you could basically do everything on your own with OpenGL...
I have no direct experience with it but AndEngine looks kewl. http://code.google.com/p/andengine/ I am looking forward to playing with it when I get some time. The demo's are impressive.

Hey I am new to GameDevelopment and just took up an assignment to make a simple game for Android.
I am stuck with the very first step of choosing the GameEngine.
Its a very simple game with one actor which can be dragged left - right to skip the obstacles falling from the top.
I will need Collision detection, and may be {gravity}, on drag listeners also.
Please help me by suggesting which engine i should go for.
I prefer open source and need to end this game very very soon, so please suggest accordingly.
Thanks in advance.
I definitely vote for LibGDX as I mentioned in here: How to create an Android 2D game?
LibGDX is very user-friendly, has a really good documentation with official wiki, and it's also multiplatform with desktop being one of them - no need for emulator or device to test the majority of the functionality and tiny changes, because it can run as a desktop app. Makes the development much faster.

I'm developing a 2D game using andengine, so far I have developed some of the functionality of my game but now I need to implement a good looking 2D sketches and pictures. Can anybody suggest me an open source drawing or designs software for windows?
Share if anyone has good experience with any drawing app they have used so far.

depepnding on what you want to achieve and which tools you want to use (like digital pen, mouse, etc.) you can use some of these:
Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/), usefull information http://gimpmagazine.org/
Inkscape (http://inkscape.org/), tutorials http://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/
Blender, (http://www.blender.org/), help and tutorials http://www.blender.org/education-help/
I know, blender is for 3D, but you still can use to make some isometric scenes and create preview videos, because it has everything to create a game (of any type). in place
If something is wrong, please reply so I'll be able to fix :) thanks.

I am looking to develop the multiplayer portion for a cards game (4 players). I have read sp many posts about the ways to do it but many posts are dated back in 2010 so I am wondering if anything has changed.
First of all, I am wondering are there SDK available out there? I heard about skiller sdk but I need another option just because their service agreement is scary when it comes to paid apps.
If not then I guess my other option would be to do the development using client 0server archeticure. I believe there will be a steep learning curve for the server code. Are their quick-guide tutorials to do this? Are there other options I am missing. It is a cards game and I dont expect more than 5000 users for it for now with probably 100s online at any point
Thanks alot

I have been looking around for a good Android AR toolkit to play with. I have found a few references but I am not really sure which ones to try. It seems to be a lot of work just to get any demo's working.
My requirement is that I want to be able to detect AR Markers/Tags. I would then look to add a 3D model based on the orientation of the marker/tag. A nice basic cube would be a great start :D
So do any of you have any recommendations?
I have just tried http://code.google.com/p/andar/ and it is not too bad. I would really like one that has some better project examples and well documented source code.
Oh, and as this is currently only for playing with I don't want to be paying any money for it.
You can try looking at NyARToolkit

Guys I am new to game development in Android. I need to refer to few good open sources for Android game development. Can someone provide me with good sources?
From Android website, http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/LunarLander/index.html
Web:
http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/12/15-nice-and-simple-open-source-android.html
Replica Island should get one started,
http://replicaisland.blogspot.com/
code:
http://code.google.com/p/replicaisland/
and if you are writing Android games like replica island, one should watch,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Bk5rmIpic
and if interested to know about Game design , one should read this book,
Beginning Android Games.
http://www.apress.com/9781430230427
libGDX:
http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/
Below is list of some good open sources games in Android
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_Android_applications#Games
Why people only refer replicaisland? There are still lots of game libraries available for Android... Like libgdx, jMonkeyEngine 3 (it supports OpenGL 2 and the current emulator supports OpenGL ES 1.x), Cocos2D and AndEngine...
