PixDroid: a tiny app to process camera pictures

This handy software is mainly designed to pixel-touch those pictures taken from
the built-in camera on mobile devices. Usually, the quality of those pictures is affected by the
weather condition, lighting, or photographer's limited access for better camera positions.
Hopefully, before you send out the pictures and with the tools provided, users can geo-tag or do free-form sketch
on the picture and manage to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast, orientation, etc and even
crop the region of interest off the main picture. This comes with several image operators.

Really Cool. I like the menus what widget are you using?

It's Android's own menu APIs. There is a 2-level limit, though, so that is the best I can do.

Great chunyenliu!

It's not a new app but maybe the first image editor on Android.
I think ADC judges will love it because your tool represents many Android API powers including location-based fuction.

Thanks.

I used this challenge as a motivation for me to learn Android. Along this process, I get to use Eclipse the first time, study Android APIs and examples, and of course many great tutorials at this web site. There are numerous talented people from all over the world at this challenge. Just being a part of it is already a pleasure. I have a regular fulltime engineering job at a GPS company and several personal projects and web sites. I am just glad I can stick to the last minute for the first challenge.

Hi chunyenliu,

Your app looks so cool, are you going to open source of your code? Smile

If not

, could you apply some knowledge about picture process?
Thanks.

I'll take that into account in the future depending on how things turn out.

Still think it is very odd that some other apps can make top 50. Over 10
of them are just basic XML parsers. Smile
