I love your tutorials!! I'm setting up my google play Account now and hopefully getting some apps up soon! Subscribed for sure. Your my hero Travis

thanks this is very useful, saves me from reading 3 big books about it

@BENNN121 you could mess with the x and y values, so change it from y += 10; to y += 20;

[mybringback]

haha thanks buddy, I LOVE your ENTHUSIASM! but seriously, you rock

[TheGameStudioHD]

Love your tutorials, but im lazy, so i would love if the codes were in the description? So i just could copy/paste ;) Keep the great work! ;)

[toymakers]

One way to simplify the if statements at around 4 mins into the vid is to just say x += 10; if(x >= canvas.getWidth()){x = 0} and the same for y =) its all the same but it might be neater without an else statement.

@DOfficial100 Yea the image was transparent when I imported it, however the fingertouch could be defined however you choose, which we will get into later..

@mybringback Thanks! Im totally new at making apps, but can i send my projekt to you if i get any problems i can solve? :) And i understand its a lot of work to copy the code in the description! :)

[poloman]

thanks man, i really love your videos! 

[BENNN]

great. thanks Travis !
the ball is kinda flickering, not very smooth on the sceen. Is therea way to avoid that ?

[WastedGuitarist]

Nice tutes dude. Am I right in saying that instead of invalidate() you could just recursively call the function? If so then what is the benefit of invalidate() over onDraw(canvas)??

[somename]

What is the proper way to add a delay between onDraw calls?

[RichardBlack-Grump]

Hi Travis - You are awesomeness contained in human form.

Please can you let me know how to set the speed at which the ball moves across the screen, thanks champ :)

what program do you use to make all of you new things. right now i use gimp, but its not good enough... please tell me what program will make the circle with no edges or make the best shapes or animation possible.
