The first question, that is rotating in my head is: why I should implement my own custom View and just not to use one of the standard View’s? Actually, there is not a problem. Most of the Android applications using standard View’s, LayoutGroup’s, only customizing its color schemes, Layout and another general based stuff, applied to every day Android development. So, how I can explain my or maybe your interest on customization? I’m very meticulous in choices, laboriously deciding what to do, what not and what to choose from. Here is my short opinion on these question:
Animated Curves Swing Demo
I thought, this is a time for a new demo application in the way of the Java Desktop. This is not a top secret for everybody, that the Java programming language is the most popular language around our world. Especially, he is very popular in the Enterprise world. Unfortunately, Java Swing desktop applications appearing in our desktop environment much rarely. The evil tongues always told about “Java was dead for desktops”. I think, that is not a truth. The activity in this way is low and slow, not just because the Java Swing is are very bad and frustrating environment to develop with, but because Swing is very hard to study and to start to develop with it. Therefore, in many cases folks just cannot realize how to deal with that in a short move. I am even not talking about the customization of the components and some of the magic incantations to create the stunning, great looking desktop applications. Well, lets do something to reduce that barrier. Probably, we need more Swing based Open Source projects to grow up this way, which could be very exciting and useful for others.
Image Filters Demo. A part of new project.
Not so long ago, almost recently, I’ve started a new project called JavaPixelazier. This is the stub of sample applications with primary goal on Java Desktop, Swing, Java Graphics, static and dynamic effects, animations and maybe much more…
The first sample application that has been pushed into the repository are ImageFilter Demo application. What is the primary goal or what is the capabilities that has provided?
