I want my activity to appear in the list of activities (gallery. live wallpapers, etc) that you see when you try to choose a wallpaper from the home screen. Im assuming this is done with intents but cant seem to find one that works. The closest one I can find is:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SET_WALLPAPER>
but that doesn't work and seems to be used for something else.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a small sample Live Wallpaper, and I want to use it with a small test Activity I have also created. However, I cannot seem to find an example of how to do this. The examples I have seen on the Web and in the Android sources all seem to focus on creating the live wallpaper itself, not how to link it to an Activity and display it behind the activity with transparency, etc. So far, all I have is a Live Wallpaper service, with no idea how to go about using it! Does anyone know where I could find _all_ the steps to do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a regular visitor to the "Let Us peek at your Screens - thread and one of the most common questions is how to make wallpaper. One of the nicest things about knowing how to do this is you can get wallpaper from almost anywhere for your phone. It's pretty cool really and although it make look a little daunting at first once you do it a couple of times you'll see it's really easy. So I've put together this little tutorial. It uses Photoshop but the same basic principles apply regardless of the image editing software you use.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make an android live wallpaper for Xperia P. The resolution for the screen is 540x960.
1) I exported the animation as .mp4 and it came out around 4mb. Is there a way to create an .apk using this mp4 file that will work as live wallpaper and if yes how?
2) Do I have to multiply the width if I want to fit more than one screens? So for three, would it be 540 x 3?
3) Can I just repeat the main live wallpaper(540x960) instead of multiplying the width so that the same animation appears on all screens?

I have some activities and I have to display a fullscreen ad image before displaying the activity... all my activities extends a custom activity and I thought it was a great idea to implement that advertisement there, so I did: code...
This works nice... the ad is displayed for 3 seconds and it closes automatically. The problem is that the activity that should be hide for the ad is being created faster, so the user can see it for a second before the ad is created. How can I avoid that behavior? How to make sure the ad activity starts before the another does?
I downloaded pictures off the internet and tried to set them as my background, and it says "This picture has been set as wallpaper" But its just the default wallpaper. So then I tried the Bar code scanner wallpapers and Android themes.com and same thing!
