I'm pleased to share with you a useful  and pretty application for the muslems people : Azkar Application. The aim of  this application is to show the daily invocation for muslem people. There are 6 invocations supported in this version 1.0. If you  want to add a  specific invocation in the new version your proposals are welcome. I have tried to add some animation effects in order to make the user interface more attractive and innovative. A first animation that rotates the view on the Y axis between two specified angles. This animation also adds a translation on the Z axis to improve the effects. The second animation between the Invovacation's screens is a simple Alpha animation supported in the Android UI animations. Some screens captures from the different supported invocations with beautiful background and different colors: Morning invocations, Evening invocations, Prayer Invocations... I...

After creating your first Google Maps Application ,you may wish to add markers to the map to indicate places of interests.That's what you will see  in this article. Adding markers First you need to define a new class that extends  the  ItemizedOverlay  class, which can manage a whole set of Overlays(the individual items placed in the map). import com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay; import com.google.android.maps.OverlayItem; public class CustomItemizedOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay{ private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>(); Context mContext; public CustomItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker) { super(defaultMarker); } public CustomItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker,Context context) { super (defaultMarker); mContext = context; } public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay) { mOverlays.add(overlay); populate(); } @Override protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) { r...

Sometimes you are invited to update the string label of your title bar activity at runtime. To do this,  we start by adding a new xml file of the  custom view  to be  use as  a new layout for the title bar view. We use in this example a textView view  to update the title's string. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/screen"     android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:orientation="vertical">        <TextView android:id="@+id/custom_text"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"          /> </RelativeLayout> In the main.xml  file, we use ...

To customize the Android Title bar you need to define custom styles and apply those styles to a custom theme. Under the folder "Values"  create your "styles.xml"  file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <!--    Changing the text style of title bar-->     <style name="CustomTitleBarText" parent="android:TextAppearance.WindowTitle">           <item name="android:textSize">18dip</item>           <item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>           <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>                      </style>      <!-- Changes the background color of the title bar -->      <style name="CustomTitleBarBackground">            ...
