Hello, I am trying to make an android live wallpaper for Xperia P.
The resolution for the screen is 540x960.
1) I exported the animation as .mp4 and it came out around 4mb. Is there a way to create an .apk using this mp4 file that will work as live wallpaper and if yes how?
2) Do I have to multiply the width if I want to fit more than one screens? So for three, would it be 540 x 3?
3) Can I just repeat the main live wallpaper(540x960) instead of multiplying the width so that the same animation appears on all screens?
Thanks in advance :good:
Anyone that has created a live wallpaper before willing to help?
For that you will have to decode the video yourself so that it can be drawn on canvas if you can do it then it can be done its difficult I know but that is the only way

So I found this tool to create the live wallpaper using a video file: http://www.lwpcreator.com/
The tool was made using code from another tool an xda member made.
But I encounter one issue, the animation skips always on the same frames so it's not smooth. The video format I used is .avi I tried few of them .mp4 was even worse.
Any idea why would that happen or how to fix it?
It's the tool's fault afterall it's not easy to generalize a code so that it can be used in different forms that's why coding is preferred over tools if it were this way anyone could build a graphic vedio and use it as live wallpaper and have it published
Bad luck my friend try contacting the developer of the tool he might know the answer

I hear there is a live wallpaper tutorial on the SDK? Can I use that and explore it so I can get an idea? I suppose it doesn't use video and draws it on canvas, the animations are coded but I could give it a try.
If you know which SDK/tools I have to download from the manager let me know.
EDIT: Nvm I found it. If you have knowledge about drawing a video on the canvas and you can help me out, let me know.

You ll need SDK PLATFORM AND Samples for SDK and also Arm EABI system image if you don't have a device download the above for android 4.2.2 that is ap 17
Open eclipse

Send me your file I will make it for you. Takes about 5min
Also send me the raw mp4 or m4a or what ever video format it is. I will just use that. i have got one here as a template with a video decoder already built into it. Its nothing fancy. It plays in a loop and you can pick the frame rate.

Depends of your launcher, many let you to choose don't scroll the wallpaper.
HELP?
Hey guys, i have the same problem
I am quite good at animating and GFX, and i have tested my videos as wallpapers with the video live wallpaper app. But i was wondering, how can i create an actual APK out of this, so i can show it to some friends of mine, and why not publish it in google play? Any tutorial i have seen has been useless, all i want is a tutorial where i will only have to write down some code, load the video file, and then to convert it all in a .apk file?

So I use windows as an OS for my DJ rig. I have quite a few neat screensavers on it.
I'm not sure how they would run on the arm processor but dosbox exists so i know it has to be possible to emulate it.
It's not even anything fancy, it's just the "retro scifi" screensaver. There are a few others I like too.
If something like this exists and I just don't know please by all means let me know. If not, I like things, this should be a thing.
Also I just noticed there is a general android section, can a mod/admin move this there?
Do you have any gif files or videos of the screensavers that you have in mind? If so there will be a way to make the bootanimations.
Did you even read what I wrote? Not boot animations, LIVE WALLPAPERS! It's right in the title.
If you want to see them in action there is the google or maybe even a google image search will yield you some images. I suppose they'd be fairly neat as boot animations too and then boot into the live wallpaper.
ignore my quick typing. If you have a gif file you can use this app to create it:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.direxar.animgiflivewallpaper2&feature=more_from_developer
I suppose there should be a way to record the screensaver output to something. Might not be as random, and it will be one huge gif file. I wonder what the limitation to number of images in them is now.
A movie might be easier, maybe swf/fla format. I'll check into that too.

If you be able to video tape the screensavers, you can use ffmpeg to create a gif file out of the video.
I looked at the steps to make them just seems a little complicated to me. I have looked at plenty of threads through the forum and they just seem to not have any easier steps to do this. I am wanting to make this my boot animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV6eyHOUrio&feature=related
I would really appreciate it if someone that knows how to make animations from videos could make this into a bootanimation.zip.
here you go download here
Thanks I probably would have never been able to compile it correctly. I should be able to compile a boot up sound myself shouldn't be too difficult.
Ok I extracted the audio and set it as my boot animation but it isn't in sync is there a way I can fix this?
well if u have knowledge of photoshop than u can get it done just click - import- video frames to layers and use ur desired audio edit it as per ur need by any editing software maybe mp3 cutter may do.
I have no clue how to do that. Sounds like something you would do to a flash movie add sound in layers so then you can have a voice and background music and background sounds and stuff.

You should compress the images next time, they load faster.
What software can I use to end up getting these images? Any software I find puts a watermark on them which is undesired.

I got my video & audio files already
i get stuck at Faststone Photo what should i name the files ? & i should resize it to 540X960 ?
Then using Boot Animation Creator I don't know where there part0 & Part1 files are so i made those folders and i put all the Jpeg files there but i don't see it
What i'm asking can someone TEACH ME the steps from start to finish & don't worry about videos or audio i can get that myself , Just TEACH ME
P.s I'm willing to DONATE to you

i get stuck at Faststone Photo what should i name the files ?
--the exact name of the files don't matter, if you want in FastStone you can select all>right click>Tools>Batch rename>Rename and it will rename them all in numerical order; This is helpful if you removed some pics from the video rip that you did not want in the bootanimation.
i should resize it to 540X960 ?
--Yes, Resize them use photoscape
to do a batch edit, if they are too big it will make the final zip file large in size and laggy
Then using Boot Animation Creator I don't know where there part0 & Part1 files are so i made those folders and i put all the Jpeg files there but i don't see it
This is the Manual way to do this step:
--Make a folder and name it part0>put all your bootanimation jpeg's in it
--Now you need to zip the part0 folder and the desc.txt file
--> You HAVE to zip with compression method "Store"
You can use the attached desc.txt file and just edit FPS the "8" in the file to fit your bootanimation.

Hi
Can someone help getting a table to display on Android devices please? The table is made in excel which serves the purpose of helping non Arabic speaking people to pronounce words in Arabic. The idea is for it to show on all screen sizes from small screen devices to tablet screen sizes. Please see the attachment.
Thanks
Just download quick office software from Google play its free...
Press thanks if i helped you

Do you need it to be an excel file, or you just want to display it in any format? If format doesn't matter, you can make a screenshot to a bitmap and use canvas.drawBitmap

Should have been more clear. I don't want to view the document on a phone but to integrate the table into an app.
It was made in excel because of the ease of making a table. Could have done it on word but it needs to be viewed natively on Android without making it an image file....
Exception maybe if the table could be made into a transparent table in an image format?
Somebody?
BUMP
Nobody?
