Hi i found this gallery which sources image from url. looks awesome. Consider that your server contains two type of images, one is original and second is thumbnail. e.g. Thumbnail: th_3BC52DAA-AFD8-50B5-DA5096B82422275F.jpg Original: 3BC52DAA-AFD8-50B5-DA5096B82422275F.jpg main.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <Gallery xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/Gallery" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/GalleryView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout> MyGallery.java package com.isummation.igallery;

For android only? And because I'm a newbie to costing and all that ... Where do I input this code?

Ok you have to create a new java and two xml files and point some button tothis activity..or there is a easier way that is by using plugin creater tool

What... It's so complicated any tutorials?

ok will do one by tonightand mail you

Be sure to :) I will be looking forward to watching it, and yeah, mail me on BT messages thank you!

@SuVinay Pawa, Looks like a good code. Great resource! LA

Nice work. Very interested in this as well- One java and two xml files to make a the plug-in, which I think I see you have pasted here. I can totally see making this into a plug-in from that code. Any chance you can post the link where you found this code? Maybe there are more options/details with it that might be useful?

Ok..! but plz make it free and here is the link : http://vikaskanani.wordpress.com/2011/01/22/android-web-image-gallery/ but theres nothing else,thgh u can try,hey plz can yu make a video of how yu make that plugin coz i want to make some and need help with php and json..plz?

Thanks - exactly what I need. That is a fabouls find and a great coding blog. Trying to learn this Android plug-in stuff still myself. Love the source code link there - now I know I can cut/paste it properly to test. Proper syntax is everything. I'm not sure exactly when I'll get to this. It'd be a lot of trail and error still at this point. But this is pretty solid looking code and looks like some thing I can tackle. I believe there is a Mac Image gallery coming from Android - so I'm not looking to make a "market" plug-in out of it. If I do get it working I'd definately send you the code and my notes. php/json- Have you seen this post and does it make sense to you? https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=61A19811BADC9373C0AC264&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=json&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= That is where it started to click for me.....

Hey @ATRAIN53, Great find! Do you have any more threads saved or bookmarked that can assist more in creating and implementing new plugins with the bt control panel? LA

Awesome ! Thnkz mate
