Android Tutorial Transparent activity

Ok here is the transparent activity project, it is very simple, i used it in the fake virus app.

Make a folder in the objects->res folder, and name it values.
Copy the file from the folder in the example and paste it in your values folder, make it read only.

Now in the Android manifest add this to the activity that you want too be transparent:

android:theme="@style/Theme.Transparent"

Best regards,

Hallo,

the apk in your zip works, but I cant compile the project.
what I make wrong?

B4A V1.9
AndroidManifest.xml:15: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@style/Theme.Transparent').


B4A V1.8:
Compiling code. 0.05
Using existing AndroidManifest.xml.
(Project - Do Not Overwrite Manifest option is checked)
AndroidManifest-Example.xml file will be created instead.
Generating R file. 0.01
Compiling generated Java code. Error
javac 1.6.0_26
error: error reading F:\b4alibs\B4AShared.jar; error in opening zip file

I tried to compile it with v1.9 and I didn't get any error.
Which platform level are you referencing under Tools - Configure paths?

 

[birnesoft]

I point to the orginal path.

 

[Erel]

There should be a read-only file named Objects\res\values\styles.xml in your project.
If you do see it, then press on Tools - Clean project. This will force the compiler to recreate the resource file (R.java).

Theme.Translucent

I changed the AndroidManifest.xml

from:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Transparent">

to:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent">

and now it works.

Thanks for your fast help

Transparent App

but the better way is to put this line directly in the Manifest-Editor:

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Translucent")

Configure what in which version??

In the Menu Projekt of B4A1.9 you have a Manifest Editor.

Can you do a transparent activity that ONLY shows the wallpaper, not the icons/widgets/etc?

EDIT: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/live-wallpaper-as-activity-background.30114/ this works!
