-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 While I'm aware of and I think I've read most of the official guidelines for designing the UI of an Android app, I think I'm missing an advanced reference for designing "cool" look and feels. I mean, to have something that is fashionable as the iPhone. Of course, one can just look at iPhone apps and take some inspiration, but it can also happen that some iPhone and Android guidelines are not compatible and merely copying you ends up with a mess. The specific things that I need to start with are simple: colors, gradients, font sizes and such. And just starting from this, I've got the impression that most iPhone apps are "black on white", while Android by default is "white on black" (sort of Mac vs PC at the end of the '80s, at least partially...).
PS I've mostly talked about guidelines, but of course the matter implies practical considerations (coding, integrating graphic resources, etc...). I know that Android 2.2 introduced new features in this area, but I need to target 1.5. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
