Google announces seller support in India, now allows developers to monetize their apps

All Wall Street expectations aside, Google appears to be doing relatively well for itself. And while Android may not be the company's largest source of income, it is undoubtedly a primed possession to have around -- with that, it's only natural for the Mountain View-based outfit to extend a hand to the abundant amount of folks developing for its open-sourced platform. On this particular occasion, it's devs in India who are on the receiving end of a grand gesture, with Google announcing it's now allowing them to cash in on their applications by adding in-app purchases / subscriptions to ones that are currently free, or simply by selling new, paid app creations on the Play store. Google says the valuable move was driven by India now being the fourth-largest market for app downloads, and that this is a great way to "help developers capitalize on this tremendous growth."

Display home screen in Windows 8 was assessed exactly as long as it is on Windows Phone: colorful, with a number of boxes containing apps, connections, content, and features.

User interface called "Metro" will have instant access, but also allows having a classic Windows look. Metro Display also provides touch control, which could signal Microsoft will develop the operating system for tablets.

It will also help if you have a basic understanding of scripting languages like JavaScript or VB (Visual Basic). Do you have a preference for VB over C#? Do you want to learn both languages?

If you are a professional web developer with prior ASP.NET experience, you can still learn a lot, since these tutorials covers a lot new concepts of ASP.NET, like HTML5, CSS3, JQuery, and more.



 Welcome to Android Design, your place for learning how to design exceptional Android apps.


In this article we will go through some very basic design topics for the Android platform. Aside from the documentation provided by Google, there are very few resources that provide a high-level view of designing Android mobile apps. This article will make it easy to understand the nuances of Android user interface design.
I have to admit this has been a bear of an article to write. Why?

How To Design For Multiple Screen Sizes
The great thing about Android is that it runs on a bunch of devices. The bad thing about Android is that it runs on a bunch of devices. But get ready designers: this factor is only going to get better/worse as more and more devices pop up on the market.

The thing to remember when you design for Android is to NOT use fixed-width layouts. If you come from a web design background, think in terms of “fluid layouts”. Layouts that will stretch based on the width of the browser, or in this case, the screen.

Do You Design For The Device Or The Brand?

Knowing what we know about the Android UI and its design elements, it is hard to resist the notion of re-using an iPhone UI “for the sake of the brand”. But is that the right decision? I think the answer is two-fold.

It Works For Games

Here are screenshots from the IconFactory’s game, Frenzic. Like most games, it breaks out of the standard UI for both iPhone and Android, so it makes sense to reuse the same UI template for both platforms
