My first Pretty Polaroids post shows my first cut at implementing the Premium Pixels Pretty Polaroids UI mockup. I realized that my first cut did not convert the iamges to grayscale as they are in the Pretty Polaroids muckup.

For v2, I added the conversion to grayscale. I took this opportunity to add a Settings menu to the app’s Action Bar which toggles between Color and Grayscale display. Finally, I found that I needed to retain the Color/Grayscale setting in the app’s preferences so I added that as well.

I came across the Premium Pixels site which offers a series of attractive free UI design elements. I decided to start with their Pretty Polaroids example and try and implement it as an Adroid application.

This sample Android application allowed me to experiment with the android.graphics objects.

Here’s how the Premium Pixels UI mockup looks:

Here’s how my Android implementation of this UI turned out:
