Volley Android Networking Library

Volley is an Android networking library, an abstraction layer that simplifies a lot of boilerplate codes. To get started on using Volley, do the following: $git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley $cd volley $android update project -p . $ant jar Then, copy bin/volley.jar into your Android project's libs/ folder. Personal Note: I'll be updating this article in further detail.

Android-ViewFlipperIndicator - Inspired by Jake Wharton's Android-ViewPagerIndicator Library Project

Basically the functionality is almost the same with the Android-ViewPagerIndicator by Jake Wharton, but the library project that I'm working on uses ViewFlipper. Borrowed some of his theming codes, because I can't spend so much time on styling. I shall give the honor to him because of the usefulness of the indicator functionality on the ViewPager. I find the ViewFlipperIndicator useful since ViewPager (with the fragments as children) has problems loading in a child fragment.  So far the Android library project is still in the alpha stage, and it only has the UnderlinePageIndicator partially working because the styling of the UnderlinePageIndicator is not fully functional. I'll add in more stuff such as the CirclePageIndicator and so on.  Here's the link to the repository: https://github.com/L0rDKadaj/Android-ViewFlipperIndicator I'll keep you guys up to date on the progress when everything is in the version 1.0 stage.
