Blogging Round the World

It seems that once or twice a week, I run across an Android-developer-oriented site that I hadn�t previously noticed. There are already a few aggregators and directories, and I think we�re going to need more. But for the moment, here are three pieces of bloggy Android goodness, from Florida, Odessa (Ukraine!), and Sydney. What they have in common is that I previously hadn't encountered any of them.

Font Magic

This is from Florida-based Jeff Vera�s Musings of the Bare Bones Coder, which, although it advertises itself as being about �Coding and managing in the .NET space�, recently ran the excellent Android Development � Using Custom Fonts. You�ve always been able to use your own fonts in your own apps, but the how-to coverage has been light.

How Hot Is It?

Ivan Memruk from Odessa, Ukraine, brings us Mind The Robot, which has a refreshing concern for visual elegance. Speaking of which, soak up the analog steampunk tastiness of Android Custom UI: Making a Vintage Thermometer.

Aussie Rules

In this case, I mean rules for getting your Android project set up for use both via Eclipse and command-line Ant. Daniel Ostermeier and Jason Sankey from Sydney run the Android-dense a little madness, and lay the rules out in Setting Up An Android Project Build. Lots of steps; but very handy for a command-line guy like me.
