Question

I\'m starting with android, and the app I\'m developing is gonna need custom widgets look (glossy buttons, animated backgrounds etc.), I\'ve googled for any external libraries t

Answer 1

I like this library quite a lot: https://github.com/cyrilmottier/GreenDroid

It includes:

• Action bar
• Quick action
• AsyncImageView and a lot of other things

It's easy to use and nice for quick developments.

Answer 2

You need to explore View Styles. You can customize almost any view element. You might not need any external library that extends and designs custom buttons.
