What is this 3D plane functionality on left/right end of home screen of Android ICS 4.0.3 called ?
Please refer screenshots: left 3D plane & right 3D plane
The screenshot is about the left & right end of the home screen with a widget on it. When at the left most part of the home screen, if we try further left...The screen tilts as shown in the screenshot.
Can a android application use this 3D functionality ? What is this functionality called and how can we use it ?
I have an idea which would involve moving the 3D plane of the application as shown in the screenshot and i am not a android programmer, So i am curious to know.
This specific effect (overscroll, as mentioned by Booger) was implemented specifically for the home screen and you can't access it. Some people have written their own implementations of view pager. ViewPager3D is one such implementation that uses a 3D perspective and implements an overscroll effect. I haven't tried ViewPager3D and you'd need some Android experience to integrate it into your application.
