When I was first learning ActionScript 3.0 a few years back, the first thing I did was create a demo app called “Sketcher” which was a pure AS3 sketchpad written using FlashDevelop with the beta Flex 2 SDK. So when I needed a good starting project to work with AIR for Android, I decided to resurrect this project, buff it out into an AIR app and test it out on my Droid.
SketchNSave provides a canvas to perform simple sketches on your Android device using a variety of colors and nib sizes. I’ve added an interesting effect where as different strokes are applied, older ones will fade and blur into the canvas and newer strokes remain distinct and crisp. A user can clear the canvas at will, and even save the image to the device camera roll.
Just a side note that my three year old daughter absolutely loves playing with it, so I consider this a success!
This will be available in the Android Marketplace upon the release of AIR for Android. You can see a demonstration of the app running on a Motorola Droid in the video below!
And here’s a sampling of images created with the app (one by me and another by Paige):

Nice job! Adding it to the camera-roll is a nice touch! I’ll need to look into the filepath for the camera-roll soonish.
@Leef – The CameraRoll stuff is dead-simple. Really useful for something like this, though!
like…………..?
i like this app more than your other, this is awesome!
@mcorbett – So do I!
Sorry,I can see the video
How can I export a Flash CS5/AIR file to Android?
That isn’t something I can talk about just yet. Sorry.

Awesome! this works perfectly what I wanna! I’m finding a way how to save a image into Android’s Camera roll via AIR for Android. :-( Could you teach some snippets or some hint about how to save bitmap data into Android’s Camera roll, please? (T_T)
It’d dead simple. Are you working in AIR for Android? It’s in the docs – can’t really publish that specific info here yet due to NDA. Could change too!
