Question

Hi everyone I've check the post on the set wallpaper from URL but I am really new to programing and I still do not undertand it, could someone provide me with an example, basically I have an image on a server and I want to push a button and set it as the phone wallpaper thank you again for the help

public class TestingThree extends Activity {

ImageView image;

private class BackgroundTask extends AsyncTask
<String, Void, Bitmap> {
    protected Bitmap doInBackground(String...url) {
        //--- download an image ---
        Bitmap bitmap = DownloadImage(url[0]);
        return bitmap;

    }
    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap bitmap) {
        ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
        image.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
    }
}

private InputStream OpenHttpConnection(String urlString)
throws IOException

{InputStream in = null;
int response= -1;

URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();


if (!(conn instanceof HttpURLConnection ))
    throw new IOException("Not an HTTP connection");
try{
    HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) conn;
    httpConn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
    httpConn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
    httpConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
    httpConn.connect();
    response = httpConn.getResponseCode();
    if (response == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK){
        in = httpConn.getInputStream();
    }

    }
catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw new IOException("Error connecting");
}
return in;
}


private Bitmap DownloadImage(String URL)
{
    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    InputStream in = null;
    try {
        in = OpenHttpConnection(URL);
        bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
        in.close();

    }
    catch (IOException e1){
        Toast.makeText(this,e1.getLocalizedMessage(),
        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        e1.printStackTrace();

    }
    return bitmap;
}


/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.wallpaper);

    new BackgroundTask().execute("http://myglobaljournal.com/images/imagetest.jpg");

    Button setWallpaper = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
    setWallpaper.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View view) {
            WallpaperManager wManager;
            Bitmap bitmap;

            try {
                bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(null);
                wManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext());
                wManager.setBitmap(bitmap);

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

    });

can you also explain where do i put the code? sory thank you very much — user1385487, May 09 '12 at 19:45
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(null); comment this line in your code and make bitmap public static before onCreate — ρяσѕρєя K, May 09 '12 at 19:47
i know i am probably asking for a lot bu could i have it on an example? — user1385487, May 09 '12 at 19:48
your code is perfect.just use bitmap instace which is used in onPostExecute — ρяσѕρєя K, May 09 '12 at 19:48
thats the thing am a little lost can you enter it for me in my example? — user1385487, May 09 '12 at 19:50
yes the image after it downloads it displays in the imageview1 — user1385487, May 09 '12 at 19:52
try this Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)imageView1.getDrawable()).getBitmap(); — ρяσѕρєя K, May 09 '12 at 19:55
