How to set an image as the background in the Live Wallpaper on Android?

kuro · September 2015

The Live Wallpaper example working great but it's always has a very sad black background. I've tried to set the background the same way as sampleApp1 (using setupBackground(context)) but in GLWallpaperService it won't load the background resource. >.<

Maybe, I think that it is the position of the background image is not be specified correctly .
Please try the following .

1) Copy from [sample/sampleApp1/src/jp/live2d/utils/android] to [liveWallpaper]
2) Copy from [sample/sampleApp1/src/jp/live2d/sample/LAppDefine.java] to [liveWallpaper]
3) Copy from [sample/sampleApp1/assets/image/back_class_normal.png] to [liveWallpaper]

4) Fixed LiveWallpaperService.java(Fixed Points Add the Comment "Add Code")

class MyEngine extends GLEngine {
	Live2DRenderer renderer;

	public MyEngine() {
		super();
		// handle prefs, other initialization
		renderer = new Live2DRenderer(getApplicationContext());
		setRenderer(renderer);
		setRenderMode(RENDERMODE_CONTINUOUSLY);
		// Add Code Start
		FileManager.init(getApplicationContext());
		// Add Code End
	}

You can change the background image if change of BACK_IMAGE_NAME of LAppDefine.java .

Hi naotaro. Thank you for your help ! It is now working just fine. It is truly fun when something you make can come to live

Hi all, especially perhaps Naotaro

I wonder if there is a way to make the background also moves a bit? (I followed this code and the background stays), also.. just curious if "hit area" can also be implemented here as a live wallpaper?

I am sorry if I post the question here, I just thought it is related very closely.

@Ronggowisnu

Drawing point of the background is the following code .

Live2DRenderer.java - onDrawFrame()

gl.glScalef(2.4f, 2.4f, 2.4f); // scale(x, y, z)
gl.glTranslatef(0.0f, -0.3f, 0.0f);	// position(x, y, z)
gl.glOrthof(0 ,	modelWidth , modelWidth / aspect , 0 , 0.5f , -0.5f ) ;

In other words , change the value of glTranslatef.

I don't know about the hit area .
I have never tried together with wallpaper .

@naotaro Hi! thx.. I think I already have this code, but have not tried to change the value in LAppDefine

, I will try it as soon as possible

Also... is there a way to reduce memory usage? seems that it's taking a lot of memory(ram?) quite huge

. Is it because of *.mtn animation too long? or texture too much?

Ronggowisnu · May 2016

Hi @naotaro , tried changing the LAppDefine but it didn't work

Ronggowisnu · May 2016

Hi @naotaro , fyi I changed the
gl.glScalef(2.4f, 2.4f, 2.4f); // scale(x, y, z)
gl.glTranslatef(0.0f, -0.3f, 0.0f); // position(x, y, z)
gl.glOrthof(0 , modelWidth , modelWidth / aspect , 0 , 0.5f , -0.5f ) ;

to :
gl.glScalef(2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f); // scale(x, y, z)
gl.glTranslatef(0.0f, -0.1f, 0.0f); // position(x, y, z)
gl.glOrthof(0 , modelWidth , modelWidth / aspect , 0 , 0.5f , -0.5f ) ;

Because it is the size and position of my model

i tried returning it to your original code but still doesn't work (background doesn't move)

I am still tinkering though lol

Hi, just wanted to share about memory usage, after looking around on some tutorial sites.

on LiveWallpaperService.java
I added :


@Override
public void onVisibilityChanged(boolean visible) {
if (!visible) {
renderer.motionMgr.stopAllMotions();
} else {
renderer.motionMgr.startMotion(renderer.motion, false);
}
}

Seems to reduce the memory usage significantly on my device. (though this might not be entirely correct . . but it works)

Howdy, Stranger!
