I want to add settings to a live wallpaper I created. I am missing something very fundamental about how SharedPreferences work. The code and XML are based on the cube live wallpaper example and I can’t figure out what I did wrong. My problem is that no (Settings..) button shows up when I choose my live wallpaper from the list. Only the (Set Wallpaper) button is displayed. I suspect that I screwed up something in the XML but I can’t figure it out.
This is a very simple live wallpaper I made just to fool around with settings. All it does is set the background to either blue or green (and that part works). What I believe to be the pertinent code and xml follows: AndroidManifest.xml <?*xml* version="1.0" encoding="*utf*-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="com.android.BGWallpaper" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <uses-*sdk* android:minSdkVersion="7" /> <uses-feature android:name="android.software.live_wallpaper" /> <application android:icon="*@drawable*/icon" android:label="@string/AppName"> <service android:icon="*@drawable*/icon" android:label="@string/AppName" android:name="com.android.BGWallpaper.BlueGreen" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_WALLPAPER" android:debuggable="false"> <intent-filter android:priority="1"> <action android:name="android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="android.service.wallpaper" android:resource="*@xml*/*bg*" /> </service> <activity android:label="BGSettings" android:name="com.android.BGWallpaper.BGPrefs" android:theme="*@android:style*/Theme.Light.WallpaperSettings" android:exported="true"> </activity> </application> </manifest> <?*xml* version="1.0" encoding="*utf*-8"?> preferences.xml <PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:title="Title Preference" android:key="BGSettings"> <ListPreference android:key="background" android:title="Background Title" android:summary="Background Summary" android:entries="@array/BackgroundChoices" android:entryValues="@array/BackgroundChoices" /> </PreferenceScreen> bg.xml <?*xml* version="1.0" encoding="*utf*-8"?> <wallpaper xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:thumbnail="*@drawable*/icon" /> BlueGreen.java (the wallpaper service) *public* *class* BlueGreen *extends* WallpaperService { *public* *static* *final* String *strSharedPrefs*="BGSettings"; @Override *public* Engine onCreateEngine() { *return* *new* BGEngine(); } *class* BGEngine *extends* Engine *implements* SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener { *private* SharedPreferences msPrefs; *private* *final* Runnable mDraw = *new* Runnable() { *public* *void* run() { draw(); } }; BGEngine() { msPrefs = BlueGreen.*this*.getSharedPreferences(*strSharedPrefs*, *MODE_PRIVATE*); msPrefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(*this*); onSharedPreferenceChanged(msPrefs, *null*); } } etc… } BGPrefs.java *public* *class* BGPrefs *extends* PreferenceActivity *implements* SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener { @Override *protected* *void* onCreate(Bundle icicle) { *super*.onCreate(icicle); getPreferenceManager().setSharedPreferencesName(BlueGreen.* strSharedPrefs*); addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.*preferences*); getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferences().registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener( *this*); } etc… } So what am I missing? thanks in advance, Jay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
