Can I programmatically set a wallpaper to not scroll?

Question

I am writing an app that allows a user to set the phone's wallpaper from a list of pictures. By default it scrolls across the multiple home screens. I want the wallpaper on the home screen to be a static non-scrolling image.

What can I do programmatically to achieve this? Is this even possible?

I am using wallpaperManager.setResource(...); to set the wallpaper.

Tried wallpaperManager.setWallpaperOffsetSteps(0,0); -- did not solve it.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

This is controlled by the Launcher application. If you want a non-scrolling wallpaper, install a Launcher app that doesn't scroll the wallpaper :)

If you want to put some effort into a solution, you could create a live wallpaper which displays a static, user-selectable image. Then your wallpaper could override the offset changes if that's what is desired. That's a lot of work, though, to stop the scrolling effect.

Alternatively, you could crop the image to the screen's size before setting it to wallpaper. That would stop the scrolling, but would break screen orientation changes.
