mad-robot

a fork of the mad-robot android library

I forked the original MadRobot Android library, seemingly abandoned by the author. I just pulled the project at the latest usable revision, r652 and republished it. Original license is GNU/LGPL 2.1

and many more.

Geometry

The com.madrobot.geom package contains utilities that help with any 2D game or custom widget creation

• Angle Utilities
• Circle Utilities
• Line Utilities
• Vector Utilities
• Point, Polygon, Rectangle, Triangle and many more

Bitmap Manipulation & Graphics

The com.madrobot.graphics package provides extensive graphics support for creating great custom views or games. The Bitmap Utilities help perform a wide range of bitmap operations like

• Color Depth Manipulation
• Edge detection (Normal, LaPlace, Bump)
• Embossing
• Brightness
• Stipple
• Fade
• Dissolve
• Blur and debluring (motion, gaussian, box)

The com.madrobot.db package allows us to populate any java bean based on any cursor or ResultSet returned by a database operation. Thanks to introspection, we can map a table in database to a java class.

I/O and Protocol Implementations

The com.madrobot.io package allows us to perform complex I/O operations easily. Apart from network based I/O this package allows you to carried out operations on the local file system as well. The various protocol client implementations include,

• Adler32 *Verhoeff check digit

and Hashing

• MD5
• TigerHash
• Whirlpool Hash
• SHA-1
• Cyclic
