General :: Set Canvas Background As Current Wallpaper
Feb 6, 2012I know how to set the background of an XML layout as your current wallpaper, but I'm trying to find out how to set the background of canvas as current wallpaper.

I know how to set the background of an XML layout as your current wallpaper, but I'm trying to find out how to set the background of canvas as current wallpaper.
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!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to get the current bitmap associated with my canvas so I can perform operations on it. I can't see how to do this though.
I've seen some examples where you create a bitmap and set the canvas to use this bitmap, so obviously you can then access it later, but I'm using the canvas returned from a SurfaceHolder so there's no constructor.
For instance, examples often show this kind of thing:
CODE:...........
So at this point I can see bmp.
In my case, the canvas is obtained by:
CODE:......
So how can I get the bitmap for c?
In short, my aim is to capture the current canvas contents where I have drawn "stuff", and make a copy of it, reversed, to put underneath. Like a reflection. The example of this that I found performed it all via bitmaps, so I assumed I needed to somehow capture the current canvas to a bitmap to then use it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI realize this isn't exactly a programming question. However I seem unable to discover this information elsewhere, so thanks if anyone can answer this. I'm on a Samsung Moment running Android 1.5.
Is there an official support forum for this type of question, or a preferred forum along the lines of ubuntuforums.org?
I applied android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper" to get the current wallpaper as the background of my application. Then, I used the getRootView().getDrawingCache() to get the screenshot of my application. I found that the screenshot didn't include the current wallpaper. Does anyone know the reason? Is there the method to get the screenshot which includes the current wallpaper without DDMS when I apply android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Service that I am running in the background every minute. It's an IntentService and I start it like this:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent(context, GPSTracker.class);
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, i, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
[code]...
That works, my Service is being run every minute (give or take a couple seconds for some reason) whether the app is up, closed, the phone is sleeping, whatever. how I should be getting the current location from this Service. I'm attempting to use LocationListener and a mix of getLastKnownLocation and hoping onLocationChanged will be called.
I think my problem is, onLocationChanged is barely getting called. Everytime the service runs and I do getLastKnownLocation I send a message to my database to check, I send a different message everytime onLocationChanged is called. I went to the store and back and getLastKnownLocation was called a few times, but onLocationChanged was only called once and it was incorrect. getLastKnownLocation always seems to be incorrect to.
Code:
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "In onHandleIntent!");
Location currentLocation = getLocation(this);
if(currentLocation == null) {
saveLocation(-8.0, -8.0, "nothing", "nothing", "nothing");
[code]...
The official documentation describes tasks as follows: All the activities in a task move together as a unit. The entire task (the entire activity stack) can be brought to the foreground or sent to the background. Suppose, for instance, that the current task has four activities in its stack three under the current activity. The user presses the HOME key, goes to the application launcher, and selects a new application (actually, a new task). The current task goes into the background and the root activity for the new task is displayed. Then, after a short period, the user goes back to the home screen and again selects the previous application (the previous task). That task, with all four activities in the stack, comes forward. Is there a way to programmatically detect when the task of the current Activity moves into and out of the background? I would like to know when the user has switched switched to another application, vs. when the user navigated to another Activity in the current app.

So my questions are: How I should run my application in the background. How my background application can know what the application currently running in the foreground is.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am wondering how to set a background in Live Wallpaper for Android. It seems the only options I have are to create it using a canvas which I don't want. I want to be able to set up a time lapse of a tree that goes through the seasons. I'm assuming I'll be able to set the coordinates for the leaves and then just have different times to fall, but is it possible to have them expand or even change colors?

Are 9-patch PNG files supported for the wallpaper? Should I be using these instead?
I found a method in API level 5 that gives you the minimum size of the wallpaper, but I would like to support previous versions of Android as well.
When this is installed on a 2.1 phone, that has live wallpaper, the live wallpaper is not returned by getWallpaper() , because it just returns a Drawable, and live wallpaper probably is another thing. So the question is, is it possible to show a live wallpaper on the background of a 1.6 application? How?

I'm writing a live wallpaper that creates an effect over a background. I want the user to be able to choose the background from any of the system wallpapers and camera photos. What I would like is for the user to be able to press a button in the Settings menu, have the list of options show up just like setting the wallpaper from the home screen, minus the Live Wallpapers options. Once the user navigates the choices and picks an actually image I would load it to my canvas. How do I do this?
I can't find an API anywhere for getting a list of wallpapers.
I've been able to come up with a list of wallpaper providers using Intents. I then get a list of live wallpaper providers also using Intents and remove those from my first list. The gives me a list of wallpaper providers that are not live.
Now what? Are there other ways to do this that I'm missing?
