      Have not heard of it before :)
      But running through this tutorial it seems to be ok with the plugin
      http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidLiveWallpaper/
      Couple of questions, it should take images to update from the app and do all the stuff on the background right?

      The plug in that I used were very simple.
      Live wall papers for androids are huge now,some people are just doing that.
      If you are interested ,pm me an email so I can share some infos about it.

      That is right,it basically run the application on the background,you can change the setting through the wall papers settings.
      TO USE:
      Home -> Press Menu -> Select Wallpapers -> Select Live Wallpapers -> Select my live wallpaper

      A good friend of mine has done VERY well with his live wallpaper (I'm talking over 1,00,000 installs of the free version and well over 100,000 installs of the paid one) so it's potentially a very lucrative market (for the right app done well).

      That said I thought there was no way to access the graphics context from within a plugin so the setContextView function couldn't be used - my Android / Plugin experience is very limited so I might be getting this wrong, but I'd be VERY interested to see / hear from anyone who might be able to point me in the right direction.

      @mahipal007,

      This is not a place for free advertising UNLESS your wallpaper was made with Gideros.
      Was it?

      Hi,
      could someone enlight me a little on what should be needed to write this plugin? :)
      I think this could be a cool feature for gideros.

      Unfortunately I don't know if I would be able to do it since my coding knowledge is very limited (that's why I love gideros anyway :) )

      The easiest way would be follow a tutorial like:
      http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidLiveWallpaper/article.html

      Create all the android classes and make it work

      And then use Native bridge to call the methods you need or pass the parameters you need: https://github.com/gideros/giderosplugins/tree/master/AndroidBridge

      To provide more information, I would need to hear at least api specification, so I could help you wrap Android methods in lua, everything else is Gideros unrelated (but more Android related) so can't help much with that, have not done anything similar myself.

      Thank you, I think I could use some help if I will be diving in this adventure :)

      According to this: http://android-developers.blogspot.it/2010/02/live-wallpapers.html
      A live wallpaper is very similar to a regular Android service. 
The only difference is the addition of a new method, onCreateEngine() 
whose goal is to create a WallpaperService.Engine. 
The engine is responsible for handling the lifecycle and the drawing of a wallpaper. 
The system provides you with a surface on which you can draw, 
just like you would with a SurfaceView.
      I am a total newbie on this matter, I will try to complete and understand the provided tutorial, just to know if my skills can manage the topic. :-B

      Any other suggestion/experience/help is welcome :)

      [Edit: I have to give this up, it needs too much collateral studies for me at this time. I need to focus on releasing my first gideros game - that still means a lot of work - then I'll think about this again :) ]
