Android :: Cropping Wallpaper In Order To Get Crisp Image
Aug 5, 2010
I am currently working on a wallpaper application and I was wondering if there is a way to make the bitmap look less blurry and more crisp once it is set as a wallpaper. Does it just require cropping the picture and resizing it to fit perfectly the size of the screen or there is some other way of solving this issue? I read that the application wallpaper set and save is able to deliver very good quality wallpapers once launched!

Does anyone know how to set a picture as your wallpaper without cropping the image to fit all 7 screens on the evo. Basically I had a wallpaper app called "shake them up" which allowed me to set any of my pictures as the wallpaper without cropping them. After the latest update the app is making me crop like the phone does.

I have an Eris and wonder why the heck the phone wants me to crop an image to a square shape when the screen is a portrait (rectangle shape). Anyone know a way around this?

I'm trying to crop a photo to use in a Live Wallpaper but I'm getting a FileNotFoundException when the crop activity tries to save my new cropped image. This is the code I'm using:
File file = new File(getFilesDir(), "wallpaper.jpg");
Intent intent = new Intent("com.android.camera.action.CROP");
intent.setData(uri);
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
intent.putExtra("outputX", metrics.widthPixels * 2);
intent.putExtra("outputY", metrics.heightPixels);
intent.putExtra("aspectX", metrics.widthPixels * 2);
intent.putExtra("aspectY", metrics.heightPixels);
intent.putExtra("scale", true);
intent.putExtra("noFaceDetection", true);
intent.putExtra("output", Uri.parse("file:/" + file.getAbsolutePath()));
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CROP_IMAGE);
The wallpaper.jpg file seems to exist on DDMS file explorer so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I found some pretty neat wallpapers, 480x800 I believe, and would like to use them on my EVO. Looking at them in the Gallery they are damn sweet, BUT when I try to set them as Wallpaper a cropping tool pops up.
I want to use the images as they are seen in the gallery, cropping doesn't cover the entire image and looks like day old death. Am I asking for something that's impossible?

I need a website or app where I can find wallpapers that I dont need to crop.There is nothing more frustraing than browsing through all these beautiful wallpapers and then when I want to use one, I can only use 50% of the picture.I absolutely love to look through wallpapers and save them on my phone, I change my wallpaper every other day, but hate the fact that I can only see part of the picture.

I use http://stackoverflow.com/questions/541966/android-how-do-i-do-a-lazy-load-of-images-in-listview/3068012#3068012 to load images in a ListView and a GridView. It works but the images are loaded form bpttom to top. How to fix that?
Bonus Question: Can I use a loading animation in a image view while the real image is loaded? Right now it's just a default image.

I have my wallpaper fixed so it doesn't move when I move from screen to screen. Since I'm using a fixed wallpaper why does it still want me to crop an image? I have an image on my phone that fits the screen perfectly but when I go to set it as a wallpaper it wants to crop it and cut the image pretty much in half which is really dumb. Anyway around this?

I am using HTC One V (Android 4.0). And as in other phones, when using default HTC Sense launcher, I am unable to set any random image as wallpaper without cropping. One V comes with screen resolution of 480x800 and I downloaded few wallpapers with this specific resolution. But HTC still forces me to crop almost half of image which is irksome.
It sets full image as wallpaper but when I move to right or left for alternate desktops, I get thick black edge. I even selected "Scroll" but still same problem. With no scroll, it goes completely wrong.
Quickpic - They say, use "set as quickpic wallpaper" but this option doesn't work too. It shows a frame to crop which doesn't expand to cover entire screen and if I dont do anything frame, it set image inside frame as wallpaper.

Is there a way to do it? I took a picture in portrait that fits the Droid X screen size perfectly and I want to use that as my wallpaper. I have scrollable wallpaper off and don't use the landscape mode for the home screen. I have that turned off as well. So really it makes no sense and its highly annoying.
I made a video to show what I was talking about because its kind of hard to explain...or some people just don't get it. Whatever if you don't understand let me know and I'll post the link up to youtube after its done uploading.

Why do you have to crop a pic when selecting as wallpaper or bbm profile pic? On previous platforms I've always been able to zoom out of the pic to make it fit. Having to crop every photo is getting very annoying! Any way around this or how to zoom out of pictures?

I've been searching on this forum for hours now and can't seem to find any information on a work-around for cropping images for the wallpaper on my Samsung Moment. I've tried "Wallpaper Set & Save" and it just crops it automatically. I just installed the ADW Home Launcher and I can get up to 7 screens on it... but for some reason, my phone still wants to perform as if it's running on 3 screens. So it just automatically crops it.

Is it possible to set the center of an ImageView without using paddings?
What I'm trying to do is, to place a part of an image outside the screen and animate it so that parts of the image become visible while other parts become unvisible.
Another problem is that when an image is bigger than the screen size it gets cropped. How can you disable cropping of the image?
And what kind of animation should be used? Should I go with RotateAnimation or is better to rotate the canvas ?

Every time I set a picture to a contact, or change my home screen background I have to crop it. This wouldn't be so much an issue if the crop wasn't so destructive to the picture! Why can't I just use the whole picture? Why does the crop force me to cut out most of it?

I'm coming from an iPhone 3G, and I have Shure SE115 earbuds. I don't find the audio quality of the Evo to be anywhere near the quality of my iPhone. I don't find the audio quality of my iPhone to be as good as my gf's zune hd. If I put the same song on both my iPhone and Evo, it is immediately apparent to me which one is which. The Evo doesn't go as loud, and it just sounds a lot more flat, and way less crisp. We're talking night and day here, at least IMO.
I don't consider myself an audiophile by any means, but this feels like a huge downgrade to me. I've tried using both the stock music player as well as Doubletwist. It's so sounding. I think I'm probably going to return it, and go with a new iPhone. Anyone else generally unimpressed by the audio quality of the Evo? I'd imagine my beef is with the hardware, and it's pretty unlikely that a 2.2 root would fix my problems.

I'm writing a live wallpaper and need some help. My wallpaper will create an effect over top of another image or existing wallpaper (not another live wallpaper) that the user chooses in the "Settings".My problem is this: I can't find a way to list the static wallpapers or images on the phone. I've seen some examples of getting the camera images, but not the wallpapers.

i have been trying to figure out how to use an image for my wallpaper, but the crop box comes up over it everytime, and it forces me to crop the picture , which makes it fuzzy and incomplete. this also happens when adding an image to a contact. HELP? I have tried stretching the crop box as far as it will go, but that is only 50%at best. i also have tried NOT tapping anything on the screen other than save but it still crops it.

Hope the title is as it should be. I'm not sure how to put this so I'll try my best.When you have a picture as your wallpaper do you notice that when sliding between the screens they move ever so slightly?For example, I have an image of the lion in my avatar perfectly in the centre of my home screen, yet when I move the screen to the left or right it seems to move the image and cut some off. Is there a way around this?I've seen it on some people's screen shots but I'm not sure how to do it with a picture that you decide to use as a homescreen. No worries if it can't be done. It would just be nice, that's all.
