Hey everyone,
i have recently found out about the Aviary Photo Editing SDK for Android.
Check it out at http://developers.aviary.com/.
I have quickly put together a nice little app which makes use of this SDK.
The Aviary SDK supports things like adding stickers, text, various photo effects, cropping, rotating, drawing, etc...
You can select your local photos or choose to browse your Facebook photos and those of your Facebook friends.
It also easily integrates with all your existing photo apps: simply use the share/send function of those apps and choose Easy Photo Editor to handle it
Check it out at https://market.android.com/details?id=de.goddchen.android.easyphotoeditor or use the qr code

Since the last update, the scroll speed of the gridview has highly increased I'm now using the android-generated thumbnails directly, that gave it quite a boost
Still happy about any kind of feedback!
Thank you.
Update 0.3 now has the updated Aviary SDK (2.0.3) which features HIRES output! Save your edited photos in their original resolution
Published 0.3.2:
Fixes properly saving hires output when sending a photo from Gallery (or similar apps) to Easy Photo Editor via share function.
New update 0.3.4:
* Preserves original Exif infos
* Edited photos now visible in other gallery apps
Thanx for removing the .nomedia file!
It still removes the exif data. Maybe you can have another look at the piece of code that's suposed to save it?

Hey,
thanks for the feedback. Could you please give a little more detail (what kind of photo did you choose: camera photo, downloaded photo from the internet, facebook photo, ...? Was hires output successful?) and maybe a logcat? I tried with various files and preserving exif information works fine for me.
Hiya,
Motorola Defy (stock ROM), camera photo.
The images are saved at the original camera resolution (5 Mpix), but all the exif data is gone.

Thanks rogier666,
the logcat pointed me to a bug in the Android implementation. I have implemented a fix and it is being published right now Please try the new update (0.3.6).
Thanx for the update. It saves some exif data now, but not all of it. The most important tag is still lost.
Camera Model is changed (you're appending "edited with Easy Photo Editor" to the camera model).
The exif tags "creation software," "color representation," lens aperture," and "ISO speed" are lost.
And the horizontal and vertical resolution tags are changed from the original value to 96.
But what really matters is that the "date picture taken" tag is lost, and that messes up the display order in all gallery apps. And of course you can't check back when you shot the pic if you only have the Easy Photo Editor-enhanced copy left.
Changing the original file name into some random number is not such a good idea either. Image file names often hold useful info (like date and time), and file managers tend to sort pictures by file name.
What about keeping the original file name and simply append "hires" to it? If this causes conflicts when you edit the same picture twice, just do something like:
> if filename doesn't contain "hires_*" then append "hires_1"
> if filename contains "hires_*" then increase last digit by one
I tried lots of Android image editors and they all break the exif data.
If your app can preserve all exif tags (especially the "date picture taken" tag) you'll be the first in the android market that gets it right.
If you can preserve the original file name (with a suffix to indicate it's edited) that would be even better.
And if your app can keep all exif data, preserve the file name, and gives us the choice to save edited pics to the same folder as the originals that would be absolutely great.

Hey,
thanks for the detailed feedback!
I'm actually a bit confused about the results.
I am using Android's native ExifInterface:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/ExifInterface.html
So i am only able to make use of the TAG_* constants that are defined there. Actually i thought TAG_DATETIME is what you are referencing to. But obviously it is not.
To test the exif information in input and output image i was using the app "Jpeg Exif Viewer"
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ohakado.exifviewx
Could you please see what your results are in this app?
For the file naming convention: good idea, i will give it some thoughts and integrate it soon - won't get to do much on the app until end of the week

Found the problem.
Your app saves all the "android os exif interface" tags, but it only saves some of the standard exif info. It saves the date/time tag, but it loses the data/time digitized and date/time original tags.
My gallery apps (stock and QuickPic) sort images by "date modified." QuickPic and other apps have an option to replace "date modified" with the info from the date/time original tag, but of course this can only work if Easy Photo Editor keeps the date/time original tag.
altered:
file name (date -> random number)
lost (exif):
aperture value
color space
components configuration
compression
date/time digitized !!!
date/time original !!!
exif image height
exif image width
exif version
flashpix version
iso speed ratings
resolution unit
scene capture type
software
thumbnail data
thumbnail length
thumbnail offset
user comment
x resolution
y resolution
ycbcr positioning
added (exif):
f number
light source
metering mode
white balance
Jpeg Exif Viewer doesn't have an "export to text" option, so I've attached screenshots of the output. I also added the original and edited image. I had to zip the pics up 'cos they're too big for the forums jpg file size limit.
Hope this helps in making your app preserve the date/time original and date/time digitized tags. Maybe you can also add an option to replace "date modified" by "date/time original?"
Kodak Perfect Touch and the stock image editor in my Motorola Defy preserve all the exif tags, so it can be done.
wow thanks so much for your effort!
as already mentioned, i will have time to work on it at the end of this week.
Currently i'm checking out Apache Commons Sanselan for EXIF processing. Looks promissing so far:
http://commons.apache.org/sanselan/
Goddchen
@rogier666
could you try out the attached version? It now uses Apache Sanselan to preserve EXIF info. I will integrate it in the next update if you approve that it's working properly...
I'm on my way to work so I only had time for a quick glance. So far it looks good: all the exif tags survived.
A few suggestions that could make the user interface a little more intuitive:
1) Instead of an "apply" button, what about auto-applying and replacing the "apply" button with an "undo" button? This way moving to the other editing options won't erase your previous edit.
2) What about renaming the "done" button to "save" (that's the obvious thing to look for when you want to save your edits)?
3) And maybe move the undo/save button to the bottom of the screen? That way it sits close to the back button so people will not so easily forget to save their edits before they try to move back to thumbnail grid.
Anyway, it looks like your app is the first (free) photo editor that doesn't kill the exif tags. Congrats!
@rogier666
thanks for the additions feedback. I will consider it.
But for now the exif feature has priority.
I made a slight change:
I do now set the "Exif Modify Date" to the current date. I think that's more appropriate since the image really was edited. What do you think?
Could please check out the new APK?
I didn't see any "modify date" tag in ExifViewer, so the change does no harm
I'd say the latest version is ready to hit the Android Market, err I mean Google play.

Thank you for your feedbacks
Intensive tests are made on the emulator, on Nexus One/Froyo+Eclair & HTC Legend Froyo. It's ok for the moment
Some force close appears notably due to "out of memory error" on some devices ...optimization difficulty with images management that we're working on
If any ...you can retrieve your recent visited paintings (recent button on main) & galleries (on gallery tab/menu/gallery/previous)

Some users ask for ways to download thumbnails and paintings.
Images (paintings and thumbnails) and Database for QuintessArt are downloaded when using the application (when QuintessArt starts for first time, it asks you to download the database). Thumbnails that have not been downloaded aldready appear with an orange arrow (download invite; the choice for the user to download or not). You have several ways to download these thumbnails and so to preview paintings before downloading them.
There are more than 1600 paintings and you can download thumbnails (for paintings, painters and currents) and pictures, one-by-one (each thumbnail is around 3Ko and each painting is around 500Ko) or part of them or whole with different possibilities.
For thumbnails (see screenshots below):
*in main activity (1st Tab): menu/data management/download thumbnails/ then choose the painters or the currents you want to download (you can choose All also
*in gallery: if a thumbnail is not downloaded (orange arrow), you can long press on it (with newest version of QuintessArt 2.2.0 ); it will ask you to download this particular thumbnail or all the missing thumbnails of this gallery; this menu is also available in /menu/gallery/download thumbnails of this gallery; the menu is also available when you click on a thumbnail/informations or download the associated painting/ report button (most left) then download thumbnail
*in Quiz:long press the thumbnail;it will ask u to download missing thumbnail or all the thumbnails of this Quiz;also available in /menu/data
For paintings (see screenshots below):
*in gallery: one by one by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail (titles are highlighted when you scroll or when you long press on the thumbnail=>escape if message or filtering options appear)
you can see informations on a particular painting without download it (click on thumbnail/choose informations)
*in slideshow:in menu/download you can choose to automatically download missing paintings (the timer is paused when downloading and just replay when the painting is displayed)

Awesome app, with a simple layout, I work in PC firmware and often need to convert between hex, decimal, and binary so I've been searching for this for a long time.
I've found a bug, though. When I am in hex, 8bit mode, I'm unable to enter values > 0x7F. I get a toast message saying "Value rejected, is bigger than Bit length allows. Same general principle applies to hex, 16bit mode; I can't enter values > 0x7FF.
@jerdog: APK is now in Post 2 attached.
@jjohns63: You are right, in HEX and Bin You should be able to do that. Only in Decimal this should not be allowed if you have a signed value. Will fix this in next release. Happy that you like it
YAY Thanks its going to be useful for my calculations
Is it possible to get option to display BIN from left to right, this will come in real handy for dip switch addressing hardwares.
@sleepyfu: You mean Little and Big Endian or do you mean completely Reverse?
E.g. Dec 2400 = Bin 0000 1001 0110 0000
What would you display?
Cheers
I'd love to see more bases supported like base 12 or base 20
(or theoretically support for all base systems with brackets for each digit if it is larger than 10)
in a future release

Reverse as 1=1000, 2=0100, 3=1100, 12=0011, Thanks!
Reason being most hardware I have seen with binary address using dip switches has 1 on the far left.

Hi!
Hmm, I can't think of any use for this. Can you give me an example? This change would mean a complete overhaul of my app, so it won't be integrated soon, if ever...
@sleepyfu: I implemented a setting where you can choose between Big Endian, Little Endian and Reverse Little Endian. Last one is your poposal Will be included in next Update, pobably next weekend!
@Gemofworld: Tnx

Super awesome thanks alot!
I noticed for the setting's changes to take effect, you will need to back out of the app and relaunch,
consider auto restart or a pop up note to ask the user to relaunch the app.
Or is it possible to kill the main process when in settings than start it back with new settings values?
Sorry I don't know how to code, just throwing ideas around.
Thanks again, super excited about this app
here is an example of the hardware

Thanks, you were the final reason to implement an Endian Functionality. Right now the settings are only there for adjusting the dafaults at App Start. You can switch the Layout easily during runtime under View But you are right, settings should response immediately.
Next I am planning a function where you can simulate / display what happens if Data is stored in Big and read in Little Endian, also the other way round. And maybe a paste function. But I am not sure about the second one...

Features
- Soon to be Open Source
- OpenGL Graphics engine
- Simple integration, just add jar to build path and extend CelestialSurface
- Simple sprite, menu item, and animation system
- Several Powerful tools (including map editor, animation packer, and skeletal collision tool)
- Lightweight and FAST
- Multithreaded for logic and graphics with a flawless synchronization
- Transformation animations
- Ouya Support
- Easy integration with other engines / android view, layouts, and events
- Unique Map editor with physics
- Android 2.2 Requirement
- Easy online capabilities (tested for MMO style games)
- Easy ad Integration
- Runs 60 fps on almost every new device (tested on ouya, Transformer prime tf300t, Samsung Galaxy 2-4, HTC ONE, and some others)
Sprite
- All Sprites are animable with one line of code
- Scalable (Also scales collision skeleton)
- Collision skeleton ** See program below
- Can receive animation transformations (ie. Jump(height,time), moveTo(x,y), scaleTo(xScale,yScale) ect...)
- Sprite from Sprite initialization (create a sprite that inherits parameters from parent)
- Sprite in Sprite ability (For example create a sword item and bind it to the "Hero" sprite to match sprite translations)
- MUCH more... (will add later)
Code:
CESprite hero = new CESprite(R.drawable.heroSprite,"hero_skeleton.ces",x,y);
client.add(hero); // Placed Hero sprite at x,y on screen already listening for collisions
Animation
- Simple animation system
- frame skip and frame lag (wait time for next frame)
- Simple packing software ** See below
- Animations are indexed and invoked through an animable object (ie. Sprite, Player, or a custom class extended from animable)
Code:
CEAnimation punch = new CEAnimation(R.drawable.punchAnimation, "hero_punching.cps", 0, 47,false);
// CEAnimation(Spritesheet img, software exported file, startFrame, endFrame, boolean flipped);
client.add(punch); // indexed at 0 (indexes in the order they were added to client)
heroSprite.setAnimation(0); // Called in update to play the 0 index animation over heroSprite (plays until heroSprire.setAnimatin(-1) is called
// Then returns to the still image assigned to heroSprite
Map
- Most unique and powerful piece of the engine
- Created by the Celestial Map editor ** See below
- 32x32 or 64x64 tile support
- Parallax and RPG style map support (different physics handling)
- Physics for parallax maps(falling, jumping, ect...)
- Anchor for viewport can be tied to any animable object (Sprite, Player, or extended animable class)
- Sprites have a x and y position for Absolute location relative to screen along with a viewX and viewY position relative to map
(scroll parallax or RPG style map by by changing the anchors viewX and viewY)
- UNIQUE FEATURE: linear walking (parallax): rather then walking on flat tiles CEMap has a linear walking feature
plot points on valleys and hills to create linear (y = mX + b) lines that the Sprite/anchor will traverse **See program below
- Indexed maps to preload and retrieve from client
- More features to be included soon
Code:
CEMap levelOne = new CEMap(R.drawable.backgroundimage,"exportedTileData.clm","exportedWaypointData.cwm",heroSprite,physicsObject);
// CLM and CWM are exported from software heroSprite is animable anchor, physicsObject is the "world physics" object
client.add(levelOne);
//In game loop
client.setMap(0); // Indexed same way as animation
Celestial Designer
- Three programs in one Celestial Map editor, Celestial Sprite packer (animation), and Celestial Skeleton creator
- Windows (done), linux / unix (coming VERY soon)
- Simple, easy to use interface
Map Editor
- Save and load projects
- Create a RPG or Parallax style map
- One click export to file
- Eraser and undo button
- Supports 32 and 64 tiles
- More features to come
Sprite Packer
- Loads several image file types
- One click packing (set width and height of texture)
- smart adjust (beta)
- one click export to celestial file
Skeleton creator
- Very Simple ATM
- Using the line tool draw lines on the imported image to create its collision skeleton
- One click export
- Add exported file to Sprite constructor
- Use method sprite.addCollidable(Animable sprite); to tell the engine to listen for collision with referenced objects
- Can add as many collidables and needed with same line of code
- When the engine detects skeleton collision it will update the sprite object
- Get colliding object by using sprite.getColliding(); returns colliding object or null
Let me know what you all think, the project will be released soon I am basically just finishing video tutorials that will be available on my website
http://celestialengine.com
Game Castle Blitz was created with Celestial engine in 3 hours and less then 300 lines of code
Sounds interesting, hope it'll be released soon for testing
Release shouldn't be too long. I am looking for good developers to test out the engine and develop marketable games using it. If you are interested in being one of these developers, PM me for my skype and we can talk further. I may give you beta access, with priority bug fixing and feature additions.
Developing a new RPG game with this in order to establish templates and verify all the map components are working properly, so far getting 60 fps with 64X64 tiles and linear walking!
Looks nice but there is a typo in your logo
Any updates on the engine progress?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
UPDATE: It has been awhile since I have revisited this forum for an update. I am in the process of developing a 2D RPG in order to test the usability of the engine, and to make sure all aspects are working properly and efficiently. As of now this game has come a long way. I have resorted to having to recode a large section of the Mapping code; however, this is almost finished.
More progress posts to come.
Quick update:
Finished re-writing the mapping code, it now has a sustained 60+ FPS (I personally cap at 60...I dont see why you wouldnt) for indefinite sized maps. This is done through a semi complex tiling algorithm with "Smart Chunking" to determine how much map should be loaded to memory and how much needs to be displayed on the screen in order to minimize iterations.
Works amazingly. To test it, I ran a 128,000 px width map on a 3 year old android and it ran 60 fps with several overlayed animations and sprites.
Up Next,
Attaching attributes to sprites:
- Basically have a class where you can set up attributes such as Hp, strength, mana, intelligence, all those fun things then be able to pass it into a sprite class such as myHero.setAttributes(HeroAttributes); and myHero.getAttributes().getHP(); to return hp (fully customizable this way)
shouldn't take terribly long.

Yes, and I am getting closer and closer each day.
Update: I finished with attributes. They work pretty simply, you can make an attribute class for each sprite for example fireEnemy, extend CEAttribute then you can pretty much fully customize this to include anything you want. I may also create some general interfaces that can be implemented to make things easier.
Simply put:
Code:
public class Fire_Monster extend CEAttributes{
Public int HP = 100;
Public int SPAWN_X = 150; // CEEngine will set the Y
Public int STRENGTH = 1000;
}
Code:
CESprite fireMonester = new bla bla bla...
fireMonster.setAttributes(Fire_Monster); // sets ... obviously
fireMonster.getAttributes().HP -= 100; // Oh crap he's dead
Up next: A software recode!!!!
Basically the 3 programs that are used in correlation with CE will be packed into one (much better cross platform) program written in C++. Upon launch of the CEEditor you will be able to pick from the Map editor, Sprite packer, and Skeletal editor in a very clean program. I am also adding more features to each program!
I might throw the Editor on a public GIT to allow contribution from anyone who knows C++ but that wont be for a bit yet but let me know if you would be interested in working on the Editor and if I get even a few interested ill fast track adding it to git.
