How To Set The Background Screen As Wallpaper All The Time?

Currently, I'm using this to show my application background as phone wallpaper. getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WALLPAPER, WindowMana

Solution 1:

For users of AppCompat, just use the following in your styles.xml, no need for code:

<!-- Base application theme. --><stylename="AppTheme"parent="Theme.AppCompat"><itemname="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item><itemname="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item><itemname="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item><itemname="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item><itemname="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item></style>

Solution 2:

After long search and trial and error. I've found the solution to what I wanted. It was just creating separate themes.xml file and just tweak the Theme.Dialog which is already defined in default android themes.xml. All I did was change the Animation part. Originally in android themes.xml the line looks like this.

<itemname="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>

but since modifying in android themes.xml doesn't take the effect. I just created my own themes.xml as I said above and just set parent as android:Theme.Dialog. And added a line like this.

<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation</item>

Thanks for the help and I hope this solution helps others.

Use following code -

    rl = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.someid);
    //relative layout is my root node in main.xml (yours may be linearlayout)WallpaperManagerwm= WallpaperManager.getInstance(this);
    Drawabled= wm.peekDrawable();
    rl.setBackgroundDrawable(d);// You can also use rl.setBackgroundDrawable(getWallpaper);
