Hello,
Is it possible to make a live wallpaper with sat24 weather app as source ?
...any ideeas ?
You can do this with Tasker i think but not the moving picture.
Example:
You can take this link as a source: link
In Tasker create an action that runs every hour or something.
Do an HTTP GET and download the image
Then set the image as a background
Delete the older picture
That's the closest you can get i think

Hi there, today lokking for good wind in my area to kitesurf, i've noticed that there aren't specific applications for PPC to retrieve infos from internet.
Would be "nice" if an app can collect the images into the links posted later... (if possible, also local time & day), and then have an animation (as the site already do) of the preset day.
with opera i need ~3 minutes to get the informations, and cannot see it offline (except, i think, if i save it at every exit from opera).
Now the links... notice that every frame has a different numberpage into the link, and also the png image has the same number:
This is the actual situation (akt)

after an hour

Two hours
http://www.windfinder.com/forecasts/superforecast_italy_campania03.htm
imagename: superforecast_italy_campania03.png
...until campania30.htm or more.
Will be nice an app who automatically download only all the images, and collect them by temporal order..
Naturally the concept is ok also for other countries..
Heyy, I am also a kiteboarder (still learning, only started last year) and would love to see something like this!
Same here this would be great i would love to have this software
uhm ok, i've noticed that the numbers into the links doesn't change every hour, but there is a sort of script who call, time based, the links numbered (i.e. now starts from campania13.htm )
BUT (ehhe) "we" can use this script to our advantage...
Look here
http://www.windfinder.com/forecasts/superforecast_italy_campania_animation.htm
Just download in sequence all the images, and put it into a "calendar" starting with the same date & hour of the download (or manually sync the first frame with the calendar )
Ps: the "calendar" is the timeline of the pseudo-app
I think it's not too difficult... BTW, this is mine (and other's) request
No way to have a similar app?
Hi:
I installed backgrounds.apk and used it to change the background photo every day. It looks every ok.But recently; I acquire some information form other way that it will cost my Ram room. So,how can I find these photos which have been downloaded or made as background?
Thanks!
shao
I'm not too sure where the application gets the images from (as I don't have it installed) but I vaguely remember that it uses flickr to run a search and then picks an image at random?
If so just pop over to flickr.com and punch in a keyword to find some fantastic images there to save and use as a wallpaper.

Backgrounds.apk? Is that "Wall switch"?
Changing your background won't eat your RAM, a background service the app is running might. Any RAM it is using will be minimal. You can save the currently applied wallpaper using the app "Wallpaper Set and Save".
I am a noob to developing and was wondering if anyone can give me a good start at creating a Live Wallpaper.
In my head its quite simple.
i have a set of Pictures from a bootanimation.zip i use.
i want the screen to show the first image until i touch it. then i want it to cycle through 2 sets of images, finally replaying the 2nd set until touched again, then go back to the first image...
anyone think you can help me out with that?
thanks...
and in case anyone is wondering im trying to make a stargate live wallpaper, that activates and deactivates on touch.
I an on my phone so I will comment more later. But you should first check out the cube live wallpaper in the samples. Since it is a working example it so should be a good place to start. After looking through the example take a look at the official docs to see what everything is doing.

============
dont call me a windows fanboy, but I really wanted this windows widget on my phone. I have the same clock on my wall. Something to work with any clock app... I like alarmclock Xtreme.
EDIT: original .pngs attached
EDIT 2 : V1 of neon clock posted (thanks to Kaik541)
EDIT 3 : V2 attached "alarmclock xtreme with modded clock" and "deskclockgoogle" versions (below) post 11 for details
EDIT 4 : V3 (final??) attached. stand alone 1x1 clock. MicroNeonClockWidget (below) post 12 for details.
**TO DO: *****HELP NEEDED
- find artist/programmer to change neon "ring" into battery meter...
- add second hand.
View attachment 533210
EDIT: added original .png images. shouldnt be hard from here..
Unfortunately, the source images are pretty tiny (130 px by 130 px) and upscaling them creates an obnoxiously blurry image so I have included here a widget that will work (though looks a bit tiny). Push the apk to /system/app (it may work in /data/app, didn't test though) and add the widget like any other
note: the above image was created with a DPI setting of 200 instead of the standard DPI of 240, may look a bit different on your screen. also, the widget in this apk does not use a seconds hand, that's why there isn't one shown.
thanks man actually that will work perfect see screenshot of where i put it...
but i think you forgot to attach the file, thank you again

then this may not actually be all that helpful to you. I plugged it into the deskclockgoogle.apk which makes it take a 2x2 square even if the actual image isn't that big and I'm unsure of how to change it
either way, thank you.

no problem, just hit me that you could, of course, be using a launcher that supports resizing widgets dynamically (launcherpro plus/adw) and it wouldn't matter, so good luck with it, hope it fits your needs.
actually using launcherpro plus i was able to re-size the widget and it didnt scale the image, so i have 1x1 perfect.
EDIT: gotta love timing...
is there any way to Untie it to alarm? so i can use it with alarmclockextreme?

hmm, to be honest I have no experience with modifying market apps. I know that standard taking apart and putting back together doesn't work because it breaks the key signing. there are probably some guides on how to resign the application properly, but for now it is beyond my grasp, sorry =/

we're all learning, thats what we're here for.
thanks again
here is a version of the free alarm clock xtreme available on the market with the above neon clock as the analog clock. remove any version installed from the market before attempting to install this and then install like any normal apk.
ok, I think I finally have something that could suit anyone's needs. Here is a widget that is permanently 1x1 (which can be scaled up with a launcher that resizes, but it looks best at this size given the resolution of the PNG's anyway, so it'd be kind of pointless). This is a modded version of this app:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/micro-clock-widget-1x1/factory.widgets.Micro available for free on the market. I have changed the name so they can be installed side by side in case you wanted multiple clocks. Unfortunately, clicking it doesn't open anything, so it's just a standalone 1x1 widget analog clock. Install like any other standard apk.
edit: wow I spent too much time on this, but now I know how to edit market apps yay learning experiences.
a few hours in a single night is fast for learning, it would have taken me at least 2 or 3 days to get there. i dont even have the sdk installed.
your work is really appreciated.
just thought of a great final feature, but it is out of the scope for me and Kaik541,
need to find an artist/programmer to convert the neon ring into a battery meter.
bump... due to |OP| update...
Wow...very nice Kaik. Great work.

very nice Kaik. a keeper.
Hey, I was wanting to edit an application posted by a member here on XDA. It is a flip clock that is actually animated, but isn't designed to look like the flipclock found in Sense UI. I stumbled upon an application called "Better alarm clock pro" which has a flipclock built into it, which looks exactly like the one from sense. Upon decompiling the .apk files, I went to the /res/drawable folder and found all of the images contain in both applications, however they weren't what I was looking for, I could only find the numbers of the clocks, and the white background of the clock, no flipping animations were there. Could anyone help me out here? Could it be that the animations are contained in .xml files? will post a screenshot of the inside of the apks in the second post.
EDIT: i thought maybe it was an issue with the flip clock in better alarm clcok pro not being an actual widget, just part of the app, so I downloaded the Desire Flip Clock port and checked out res/drawable/ but still no dice, just the nuimbers and the clock background. please, I need some help asap

The Android API has functions for animation. They probably use that rather than animate by blitting tons of images.

Yep. That would be the best way to do it

What might I do to edit said files then?

If I'm following you on this, you want to hack animation routines out of one app and add them to another that never had them? I don't think it's going to happen unless you've got the source code to both, and even then, it'd be tough.
Yep animations arent files per say but code defining how something has a 2d or 3d transformation applied. The algorithm used to do these transformations can be edited but you will need to decompile or have the src

Not necessarily change the animations, but the images that are shown. could I hypothetically just swap the images out and it would work, or no?
