Open Source Android Apps for Developers: Android PDF Viewer

Cute Android: Open Source Android Apps for Developers: Android PDF Viewer

Description
Andorid PDF Viewer is a viewer for PDF-Files on ANDROID mobiles. The implementation will be a port of the pdf-renderer which is published by SUN under the LGPL: https://pdf-renderer.dev.java.net/.

The PDF Renderer is just what the name implies: an open source, all Java library which renders PDF documents to the screen using Java2D. Typically this means drawing into a Swing panel, but it could also draw to other Graphics2D implementations. We hope you will come up with cool things to do with it that we never thought of.

PDF is one of the core file formats of the Internet, so it is very important for Java programmers to be able to both read and write PDFs. Great open source libraries like iText have long handled the writing half, but until now there has not been a good way to read PDFs using open source Java libraries. It could be used to draw on top of PDFs, share them over a network, convert PDFs to PNG images, or maybe even project PDFs into a 3D scene.

Open Source Android Apps for Developers: libsdl-android

Cute Android: Open Source Android Apps for Developers: libsdl-android

Description
libsdl-android is the port of libSDL to Android – includes SDL 1.2 and SDL 1.3, SDL_mixer, SDL_image and bunch of other libs. Both SDL 1.2 and 1.3 have hardware acceleration, you may also use OpenGL ES with SDL. Several games are included as working examples. Unlike other libSDL ports around, it does not require root access to video device, and will produce .apk package that you may publish on Android Market (and sell them, the LGPL license allows closed-source apps, but you should release your AndroidAppSettings.cfg file). It is intended to be used to easily port your own C++ applications that use SDL library,
readme file describes all the steps required. No Java knowledge is necessary to use this lib. It requires Android NDK r4b and SDK 2.2 to compile, however it will run on Android 1.6 devices. Android 1.5 devices do not have OpenGL lib, but it’s still possible to port libSDL on them (but I probably won’t bother with this, only 16% of all Android devices are 1.5 or older).
