Can any android (or java) experts point me to graphics libraries, code samples and or examples that make use of particle effects?

I am trying to create dynamic particle effects similar to what can be achieved via plugins in After Effects, but using code

Answer 1

libGDX has a very easy to use particle effect system and editor and it runs on desktop and Android

You can find an official tutorial here

I'm not sure if it will do exactly what you need but there are a lot of options to customize the system in the editor and in code.

Some sample code from my own project:

private ParticleEffect effect;

//constructor
effect = new ParticleEffect();
effect.load(Gdx.files.internal("data/explosion.p"), Gdx.files.internal("data"));

//render
effect.start();
effect.setPosition(position.x, position.y);
effect.draw(batch, Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime());
