Android Community Question : Using Background Images With Buttons

Here is part 5 of our tutorial series on developing our Tic Tac Toe Game (finally... sorry for the delay).  In this part we look at how to change the icon for our app and add in a menu that will allow us to start a new game and exit our app.  I hope everyone has enjoyed this series and was able to get something from what we have covered.

Tutorial Ideas?

I'm looking to build a list of tutorial ideas that people might find helpful.  Here are some ideas that I currently have on the list:

TicTacToe Tutorial Delay

The TicTacToe tutorial will pick up after mid-terms are over.  Currently, I am busy preparing for mid-terms and helping put together an app for the local Regional Adult Education Program ( http://race2ged.org/ ).

Hope everyone is doing well, sorry again for the delay.

Next tutorial in the android series

Sorry, for the delay in the android tutorial series.  Trying to keep up with the daily grind, as well as, 22 credit hours this semester.  I will hopefully have up the next in the series if not the rest of the series by the end of the weekend.  If anyone has any ideas on what to do another tutorial or series on, please, leave a comment and I will see what I can do.  Currently, I am not sure if the next tutorial will be on android development or something else.  I just finished up an assignment dealing with android development and it was pretty interesting.  It had to deal with creating dialogs and the different types of dialogs that can be created.  You can view the app up on the market place and see if maybe you would be interested in something along these lines.

I am kind of holding off until I get actual free time to devote to a long series.  I was thinking about maybe doing a series on developing a game in C# using XNA, but I would not want to start on it and then have a big gap in the series.  So, until then I may just continue with smaller projects or some general tutorials.  Anyways, I look forward to any suggestions that you all might have.
