Creating graphics and animations for Android
Posted on 2013-11-19
I am looking for a starting point to learn how to create advanced level graphics and animations for Android applications. I know that Java has things in it's animation space such as move, fade, etc...but what I am really trying to find out is how to create really involved splash screens, for example, and what software would be involved. Can anybody give me a good starting point for understanding how this works? Are images done in photoshop, and the animation done in Flash and then imported into a Droid project?
