Hi,
Android platform is growing and more and more people are using an android phone or an android tablet. Some of painting/art dedicated applications are still in development and sometimes there are no equivalent, compared to iphone/ipad app sets.
What are your experiences on the android platform and what applications, do you use for game/entertainment/education or daily work as an artist or art lover ?
Any suggestions to enrich this topic is welcome. Its main objective is to have a panorama of "Art" dedicated apps for the android platform. Thanks for your contributions
============================
List of applications with links & descriptions from android market (a google spreadsheet could be edited if useful):
Digital Canvas (paint/painting/editing/sketching/drawing...):
Canvas
"Android's best painting and editing suite!"
Magic Doodle
"The sketching, drawing and painting application with full features for beginners, advanced users and professionals."
Magic Marker

Magic Doodle Premium
Main features:
- 6 Pencils and 40 art brushes selection and adjustment
- 4 smudge effects
- 6 eraser heads
- Abstract painting
- Symmetrical drawing and painting
- 15 color palettes with premixed colors
- Color wheel with HSV - RGB - HEX editable values
- 3 layers with duplication, transition, mirror flip, image importation, background fill, merge and move
- Last used colors and tools
- Export and share the paintings
- Video replay of the paintings (video actually not exportable)
- 6 canvas sizes
I simply love this program as it really does perform as a digital canvas should.
Sketchbook Mobile as mentioned above is also very good and has similar amounts of brushes and controls.
For users who have a Galaxy Tab though it does not conform to the screen size, you have to use another program named Spare Parts to alter the Apps resolution in order to make it fit correctly.

I know this thread is a few months old now but you might be interested in adding my app Fresco to the list. It's a painting/sketching app for Android that has full layers support and also features filters (e.g. blur, emboss, brightness). See here for more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052925
Sketcher Pro or Sketcher is the best artistic drawing apps.
Here's my little question.
Do you know like this apps? Technical Brushing?
Cuz Sketcher is the good apps but some deficiency
No Brush Size
No Layers
Add the photo but no resize and no remove
Maybe this features porting another apps? Or Sketcher brushes porting another apps? Is that possible?
Or maybe they're suggest like this apps?
Thanks for answer
PEACE

Which are the best Art apps for Android?
Anyone have a recommendation for a good photo editing app? There is an excellent one for iOS called Photogene, but the developer says he does not plan to do a version for Android.
I've been disappointed with the PhotoShop apps. I'm looking for a straight photo editing app, not something to create strangeness.
Suggestions? TIA!
I'm using Photo Editor by dev.macgyver -- it's basic, sure, but it does what I need it to do and it does not produce all kinds of ' funkygraphs'. It does a sepia, black and white, brightness correction (both linear and gamma-based), (channel-based) color corrections, resizes as well, I think, and so on. I didn't like the mobile Photoshop app either. Photo Editor is free, so give it a whirl and let us know what you think.
PS: I sound like a second-hand car salesman, hahaha. I am not affiliated in any way, shape or form with the aforementioned app or its developer.

PS Touch (Photoshop Touch) is pretty easy to use and has a lot of features for editing, cropping, color and brightness levels etc......

Haha jk. The Photoshop elements app or w/e is probably the most detailed editing app available for now, but i read there are issues with the resolution and dpi settings being capped ridiculously low. Also it isn't a free app, its $9.99 i think.

Easy
Hands down, the "best" photo editing app is PS Touch. It even comes with GREAT tutorials (15 of them I think).
If you want something free there's a plethora of them.
Photo Editor is the one I use on my Samsung GS3, PS Touch on the Infinity.
Try Perfectly Clear, just came out for Android recently. Pretty darn good at automagically fixing up photos plus there are manual corrections you can do too. Wish it had cropping though.

I use the "fix dark" tool in Perfectly Clear regularly and it does a fine job even at full resolution. Considering how expensive the desktop plugin is the app is an amazing bargain.

Photo Tools: compress, resize - Apps on Google Play
The all-in-one tool app for your images. Compress, crop, resize, and much more.
play.google.com
For a pretty long time, I have been looking for an app or service that can show me the exact hex code for a colour or shade in a picture. I had found an online service imagecolorpicker that does a good job.
But having an app that would do this offline would be great for privacy.
Finally found Photo Tools. It does exactly that, and works offline! The following two features (among many others) are pretty unique to this app. Check it out.
• Color picker tool:
This tool helps pick a color from an image. This can be used by graphic designers to extract color from the image and use it in their art. The user can get to know about the color name along with the color hex code.
• Extract colors tool:
This tool helps to extract the majority of colors from the image. Colors can be easily copied to the clipboard by tapping on it. You then use that color to draw or paint in other apps.
You'll find more such unique apps here:
Unique Apps for Android
In this post, I will include some unique apps I have found that do not have competing alternatives (or let's say, I haven't found anything close enough to compete). 1. FolderSync 2. appSelector 3. Photo Tools 4. Hermit I will keep updating this...

A memory space wasting application "Photo Tools: compress, resize". Sample 4.2 MB JPEG file converts to 10.3 MB WEBP.

I have seen similar problems with other apps too. For example, if I crop an image, the cropped image file is significantly larger than the original image.
I didn't try the other tools in this app, but the two features I highlighted are definitely unique, and are the reason why I installed this app (and also made this post).
If you like to know the hex code of a particular colour or shade you see in an image, these tools are extremely handy in letting you know the exact colour code. I use them for customising the colours in my phone.

In this case, the application probably uses the lossless writing option.
