How to store pictures within an app and call them to screen? - android

I want to create an app that has pictures Ive taken or created and allows users to browse through them. Ive got how to use buttons but I just cant figure out how to store the pictures within the apk file that gets uploaded to market. Im really new to android development and Ive been through some tutorials and have a couple books but for right now Im stuck and would greatly appreciate a push in the right direction. I know it should be easy to do but I just cant find anything describing what Im trying to do.

The easiest way would be for you to store your pictures in the res/drawable folder of your Android project. You can then access these images with myImageView.setResource(R.drawable.name_of_image_without_the_filetype);

Slide-Show from storage images

So I´m new and still getting the hang of Android Studio.
What I´m trying to do is to create a "slide-show"apk in which you can add images to a specific storage folder on your device and the app will show you each image for a specific amount of time.
I´ve been trying to do this with the function: Animation list but I just found out you can´t add resources to drawable on runtime. So i´m not sure what´s the best way to tackle this... Hope someone has done something similar and is willing to help :)

How to get images from Mobile Game Application?

I am making some Landing Pages and I need original images from mobile games applications.
I have iOS but no problem if you have solution with Android.
I just want to get like images, sounds from some game like “Clash Royae”, “Clash of Clans” something like that.
I can’t find anything usefull on Google...
Looking for fast responde,
Have a nice day!
The request you are making is probably takes long to get the images and sounds. You need to install emulator and get the file from application like .apk and have an application to uncompressed it. Then you will see all the files used in the application.

how to make folders in my android app

i have spent a lot of time now on searching on how to make folders in my app, what i usually found was how to make folders for my activities or for layout files but what i couldn't make google understand was i need folders just like we open the gallery in our phones and it has many folders like screenshots, whatsapp images, facebook images, camera images etc.. My query is somewhat similar.. I know in technical language it is called something else but i now wonder whether it is possible in android. If it is please enlighten me about it.
Any help is appreciated.
The gallery consists presumably of a GridView, GridLayout or TableLayout. There are no "folders" in Android.

Android App to talk to a web server, download a file and parse

I am new to this. I have the Android SDK installed with Eclipse. I can work with basic activities and layouts.
I am looking to write this Android application that will;
1) Allow users to sign-in using a pre-allocated password.
2) Login and change the password.
3) Every time the user opens the app, he downloads a CSV file from a server to the SD card.
4) The app parses from the file and displays them on several activities and small frames inside the app.
Think of it as an informational application. But, I'd like to add some intelligence on top of it after I get this done.
I have read many articles and topics but none of them give me a specific approach to do this faster. I have very little time for development.
If there's a similar application that you're familiar with, I'd like to take a look at the code.
I want to know exactly (the code) on how the communication between the app and a linux based server on the web needs to be established. Right now, there's only a CSV file (or an EXCEL file - which one's better to parse? How to decide?) there.
Also, when the CSV file is up to date, I wouldn't want it to download the file again. How to prevent it?
As I said, I am new - so please be patient.
Thanks
If you are new to this and want to develop something fast, why do it the hardest way, in java? There are so many easy toolkits out there, e.g. RFO.Basic, you will be amazed how much you can achieve, fast, that way.
(You asked several questions) Easiest to parse? If you don't have Excel installed on your Android device, the CSV is of course easier to parse, needing only text tools. However, if you have a choice of formats, why not use XML? If you have never worked with XML, there is a little learning curve, but there are lots of tutorials on the web. After that, you'll never want to go back to CSV.
Your last question: how to prevent download of unchanged file? Is this about a big file? In that case start with quickly downloading the hash (checksum) of the file, so that the client can decide if the file has changed.

Bind the data to a listadapter and display it using a gridview
