Hi, I am facing problem in setting the background of a view as current wallpaper. Note here, the the custom view is not the one which is inflated by setContentView in the main activity. The custom view is displayed on a button press. Have tried using, WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(this); Drawable wallpaperDrawable = wallpaperManager.peekDrawable(); wallpaperDrawable = wallpaperManager.getDrawable(); mCustomView.setBackgroundDrawable(wallpaperDrawable);
This sets the wallpaper but fails in the case when current wallpaper is a Live wallpaper. (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/WallpaperManager.html clearly states: It retrieves the current system wallpaper; if no wallpaper is set, the system default wallpaper is returned. This is returned as an abstract Drawable that you can install in a View to display whatever wallpaper the user has currently set.) Other way which I tried was, setting the background of the view as Transparent mCustomView.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0)) This would make the the homescreen live wallpaper visible but here, the items (shortcuts, folders, widgets etc) in the homescreen would also be visible. I understand that setting the Theme of the activity with Wallpaper theme would make the main layout with current wallpaper(live wallpaper works as well). But this doesnot hold good in my case as the custom view is not the main layout that is inflated by setContentView. Kindly let me know how to achieve this.
