Android Question Live wallpaper

[jkhazraji]

Concerning this valuable tutorial: Android Live Wallpaper tutorial, how to 'start' the service WallpaperService to change or set the wall paper. I was not able to run the example althoguh I placed livewallpaper.jar and livewallpaper.xml in internal library folder and added the snippets required in manifest editor, also made the wallpaper.xml read-only! I can only see this code in Button1_Click:

    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize("android.intent.action.SET_WALLPAPER", "")
    StartActivity(in)

What makes the app see the service and launch it ?

What makes the app see the service and launch it ?

The entry in the Manifest.

The entry in the Manifest.

Indeed I know that, but nothing happens. I am using an emulator. Does that prevent the service from running?

I am now starting to comprehend that as the service is run, we should press the screen for some time (in a physical device), in this way the wallpaper invoked by the service should be within the options, or am I wrong?
