LiveWallpaper Library

Highwinder · Nov 15, 2011

Erel,

A live wallpaper library? Holy cow, that's fantastic! :sign0060:

As for your comment, I suppose it's so easily expected to be so simple because both the Java code and tutorials are freely available on the internet, none of which really look like much code.

Some examples:

How To Create Android Live Wallpaper - CodeProject

Androgames | Android Live Wallpaper tutorial

Forgive me if I'm wrong.

Forgive me if I'm wrong.

I forgive you

If someone is intrested, I updated the library with an example and an gifDecoder.

You can select a gif and it will automatically run as your wallpaper.
Now it's started to look more like a LiveWallpaper and a nice addition to Erel's excellent LiveWallpaper Library!.

I used JD-GUI on Agraham's GifDecoder, and I hope I was allowed. Agraham, tell me if I can use it, otherwise I will remove it.

I can't find your updated library.

XverhelstX · Nov 16, 2011

I'm having trouble uploading it.
I will upload it on an external link

XverhelstX · Nov 16, 2011

Uploaded, check the first post

Thank you so much.

Don't bother asking first then before re-publishing my code.

You didn't need to pirate it anyway but could have referenced the methods in the existing jar with no loss of performance but having stolen the code I see no attribution in the XML.

You need to grow up and learn some programming etiquette.

XverhelstX · Nov 16, 2011

Well, I'm sorry then.
I will remove the libs
I just thought it was easier this way, and apparently I was wrong.

Ouch! A pretty rude remark there.

Educating fellow developers of the proper etiquette would be a better way to go here, especially with a developer who is so willing to make so many libraries for others.

You are entitled to your opinion, I of course am entitled to mine - and to express it as well.

Erel,

I agree with agraham.

A lot of time and effort goes into writing, testing and documenting B4A libraries and tools. But new developers may not be aware of the ground rules, for example the difference between to 'free to use' and 'free to use and modify'.

Would you be able to create a STICKY on the main page with a short guide for the new starters on how best to use the resources available on this terrific forum?

regards

I did try to organize the libraries licensing issue several days ago. A statement about the license appears in the list: Libraries - Basic4android Wiki
And also in the libraries developers: http://www.b4x.com/forum/libraries-...important-notice-about-libraries-license.html

bluejay · Nov 18, 2011

Somehow, I completely missed seeing that one.

It is a good idea. Could you add this to the first post of the sticky about creating libraries?

I can't find the download link for this library.

This is the LINK

This would have been nice :sign0148:

So where is the Live Wallpaper Library by XverhelstX? I can only find Erel's version.

He removed it because it contained modified code from another library.

Wish that it was possible for this library to be published again, the current method of

B4X:

 anim.AddAll(Array As String("img1", "img2", "img3"....))

isn't very stable (at least for me). I would almost PAY to get this library done legal some how.

Animated Live Wall papers

Hi everyone, i'm a little confused with this library, is it possible or not to create a live wall paper with an animated gif picture, if so can someone provide some examples, i see that someone created a library with a modified version of the code Agraham created but they took it off, that is a bummer, anyhow if someone can maybe enlighten about doing something like that it would be awesome

cheers,
Walter
