Creating own LiveWallpaperPreview?

Question

Hi,

I would like to create my own LiveWallpaperPreview, i.e. to show the user a fullscreen preview of what the selected Live Wallpaper looks like (without the "Set Wallpaper" and "Settings" button that the stock-OS preview has).

Rebuilding the LivePicker-Class from 2.1 (android.git.kernel.org) works great, so I am able to let the user select a wallpaper to be previewed, but the actual LiveWallpaperPreview-Class tries to import the following private Interfaces/Classes:

import android.service.wallpaper.IWallpaperConnection;
import android.service.wallpaper.IWallpaperService;
import android.service.wallpaper.IWallpaperEngine;
import android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperSettingsActivity;

Is there any way to display a LiveWallpaper in my app without resorting to using the private APIs (which I obviously don't want to do)?

Thanks!

Nick

Hi,

You cannot do this. The live wallpaper picker is part of the Android operating system and cannot be replaced.
