Apps Newbie needing assistance :)

Hey guys

So for my Honours year of Comp Sci, I will be developing an Android/Mobile system. I would like to represent data in the most interactive way possible with many aesthetically pleasing graphics/visuals.

An example of this is at
watch?v=8Uar903dz2Y (sorry for the link, no other way to describe it!)

How do I go about doing this?
I am a complete noob to Android development, however I will begin learning shortly.

Could somebody just point me in the right direction as to what element of the interactive graphics is involved? Eg. Flash? Open Gl?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Android Forums intenseza. I moved this to the Application Development forum so you can get some better responses.

Here is an embed of your video

Thank you very much! I appreciate it.

Any advice on this matter is more than welcome

I'm not a developer, so I wouldn't be of much assistance.

This is the area where you will get the best help here. I've scanned the sticky threads in here in the hopes one day I might create the next Andgry Birds, so I know there is a ton of information in there that may help you get started.

Good luck with your project.

Awesome, I look forward to hearing some input from those who do this type of thing as well. Who knows, you might create a game even more addicted and better than angry birds

Thanks again!

I don't quite understand your question. What, exactly, are you having difficulties with?

intenseza · Feb 19, 2013

Not difficulty, but a method to create amazing interactive 3d graphics/dashboards/graphics for Android applications based on data from a database...

jonbonazza · Feb 20, 2013

You are going to need more than one method, and every type of widget will need different code for rendering. I think you are underestimating the scope of this problem. First thing you should do is break the system down into discrete components.

This video is not even interactive. Is yours supposed to be?

Possible:
1. Popups. Yes, easily with HTML5/CSS
2. Clock-like animations. Yes, easily with HTML5/CSS3
3. 3D product animations, if NOT interactive, may have to be done in a 3D software program, made as a video, and imported into the program. If they are to be interactive, then this project goes into game territory and you are over your head for a first project. (You are in over your head if you don't know how to construct the object in a 3D environment and rotate it.)

What other features are you thinking of adding?

Do you have the graphics skills to create the pictures and layout?
