📖 About This Android Photo Puzzle Game Source Code

Photo Puzzle is a complete, ready-to-publish Android puzzle game source code written in Java using Android Studio. The project includes a mobile (phone & tablet) app and a separate Android TV / Fire TV app built on the Leanback library. Players pick a photo from beautifully organised categories, then tap to rotate scrambled tiles and fold the picture back together against the clock to earn up to 3 stars per level. With AdMob banner and interstitial ads already integrated and 10 ready-made photo categories, this is one of the fastest complete Android apps to rebrand, reskin and upload to Google Play.

Two app modules built from one shared code base:

• 📱 Mobile module – portrait phone & tablet experience with touch controls.
• 📺 Android TV module – Leanback-powered landscape UI with full D-pad navigation.
