LiveWallpaper Library

[Erel]

You can use the Canvas methods to create animation.

Hey everyone,

Releasing a new library that took me about approx. 1 hour to make.
With this library you are able to create/specify your own (live) wallpaper from your app.
So you can:

- remove the current wallpaper
- get information about the current wallpaper
- get the desired height and width.
- Setting the x- and y offset.
- specify a new wallpaper from a bitmap or a stream
- and a little bit more functions.

and so you can create your own dynamical wallpaper.



Cheers,

REAL newb question..... Many of these posts announce the "new" library but there is NO download link showing.

What am I missing???

You should use LiveWallpaper library that is included in the IDE.

Hello,
something is broken since the last B4A Update with the LiveWallpaper lib:

a similar error message was shown here, indicating that the library needs to be updated: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/crash-of-abto-voip-sip-library-on-b4a-12-20.145974/

needs to be updated

The Author no longer active it seems. Do not expect getting an update. The Library is from 2011.

Moved to the libraries archive.

any chance to get the source code for it?
Or any other pointer on how to get a live wallpaper with b4a?
