Another update of the Live Wallpaper of the free version of my app: the "refraction visualization", which has an image in the background with fluid with colored vortices flowing over it is now available for the free version of my app too. In contrast to the full version only predefined images...

Thanks :D. Just released an update. The load image functionality in the full version is now available for both the Live Wallpaper and the regular app. If the user chooses an image in the settings of the LWP, the selected image is displayed in the background of the LWP, and the fluid is running...

Thank you :D! I am glad that you like the effects.

Looks great! I especially like the reflection in the water.

Fluid Paint is a realtime fluid simulator. Touching the screen creates colorful fluidlike substances and vortices on the screen. Both a regular app user interface and a Live Wallpaper can be used. There are only a handful fluid simulation apps on the android market, so I wanted to add another...

I am definitely not addicted to smartphones, but the Samsung S II device changed my mind about mobile devices for good. Three years ago, when I got this phone I thought that I am not upgrading my hardware until something with a lot more GPU power comes out, because I would like to play around...

Depends on who is tracking me down, but $100 / month is most probably not enough. And I would also sell my privacy for a finite time frame, but not for my whole live. Apart from that I don't like being spied by government spy agencies like the NSA, even if I don't do anything I am not supposed...

Octave for Android hasn't been mentioned yet! I consider Octave to be useful whenever arithmetic and a little bit Linear Algebra is needed.

Another interesting question: what does it take to call oneself a Computer scientist.

It depends. If you don't have any experience, I would recommend to work yourself through at least two books, a book about Java and a book about Android programming. For learning Java I recommend the course notes of "Introduction to Programming in Java" from the Massachusetts Institute of...

Re: Smartphone .vs. Laptop Currently I am using my PC and my Notebook a lot more than my mobile devices, because with a mouse and a physical keyboard I can get a manifold more work done than with a softwarekeyboard, where I frequently type in the wrong characters without noticing that. On any...

If you are going for the SDK, I would recommend learning Java. But as a C++ programmer you won't have problems to learn this language. I experienced that it was harder to learn C and C++ after getting acquainted with Java than the other way round. Start with small console programs, and learn...

Hello! I joined this forum simply because I found my new passion in programming for Android. Initially I wanted to start implementing Android apps three years back from now, so I got me a Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone back then ... then other things caught my attention. But now I am back to...
