"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
notice the cards on the middle that are overlapping?
see the bottom cards that have some sticking up?
how am i supposed to do that without AbsoluteLayout???
any ideas will be appreciated...

You copy the AbsoluteLayout code from the master source tree and maintain it yourself... You figure out how to do this using FrameLayout or RelativeLayout. The Android Team claims you can do anything that you can do with an AbsoluteLayout with either FrameLayout or RelativeLayout, though I am skeptical. Personally, I might suggest ditching the view hierarchy and drawing your UI to the canvas or even OpenGL.

got it to work using linear layout
I did do it, but it isn't 100%...
take a look

See if you can get some help from SweeterHome. They seem to have the layer thing down pat.
You may find that it is a memory hog, though. Because that is the main problem that SweeterHome has had developing their app... The lack of available memory on the hardware.

[APP]VR Hologram

There was a cool app call VR Hologram on HTC WM Device.
If you miss it on Android, I make it available on android market.
The app just use your phone's accelerometer to do the VR stuff,
but it need a more decent hardware to do the 3D stuff, like a 1g Snapdragon device is recommended.
This version will randomly select cub, sphere, or the billboard to display.
If you found it still fun and want more feedback are welcome.
You can try it here:

I tried it, does it really stay on one position?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

No, it shouldn't. Sometimes it need a few second to stable the accelerometer reading.

Takes me back to using my Omina i900 device about 3 years ago lol

Paint4fun

Greetings!
I'd love to present to you my first application Paint4fun. The main goal of this application was to produce as many realistic functions as possible (various brush sizes, zoom, various brushes, rubber, load pictures, save pictures, etc...) It enables a bunch of possibilities to try this thing out.
You can try it out with this link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zbGlrYXIuc2xpa2EiXQ..
All pictures my apps:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

I hope this application will not disappoint you. If you have any crazy ideas about what to add to the application, then contact me please.

[APP][2.2+]Info Tool

A simple but powerful tool that shows your device specs and important information related.
I made it for anyone to quickly see and get their device's essential information displayed, but also I tried to keep it as simple as possible. I saw similar apps already in the store, but many of them are too bloated or tend to show useless information.
The purpose of putting it here is asking for testing it in several devices, and determine if it works as intended. If you have any issues using it with any specific device (phone or tablet), please let me know so I can fix it as soon as possible (post in the comments).
Currently the app has ads, but this is only for testing purposes as well. I will see to get rid of them (or making it them less intrusive) in future versions.
It has translations for both english and spanish.
Here is a screenshot, and the link in the Play Store:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

Thank you in advance!
