Ive follwed this tutorial and the previous one have all the code exact i pick the picture and click set but it isnt setting the picture to the screen. any ideas?

[faysalubit]

awesome .......

Just wanted to say I had a similar problem to others where my app would force close if I tried to change the background. The problem (stupidly) was that in my manifest file I had written "android.permission.SETWALLPAP­ER" instead of "android.permission.SET_WALLPA­PER".

@super0chick You just put a different quality file to "res" --- "drawable-xxx" l = low, m = medium, h = high quality.

@CornboyzAndroid Make sure that you add this tag "import java.io.IOException;" to class.java

basic problem is "force close" you need to check Activity in Mainifest.xml must match one in your JAVA class

How do you set the pictures to set to different screen sizes of various phone screens and tablets?

[bigmac1setlarge]

Hey i notice if i didn't click on any picture first, and i straight away click set wallpaper, it will force close, how do i solve that?

[gobinatht]

appricate your dedication and thx for the stuff. its really help me lot to understand from the scratch. keep doing.

[alinpha]

hey, thanx for those tuts they're really helpful for learning , just wanted to ask one question, whenever i set a wallpaper it's sets not in full screen but aligns to the left size of home screen and creates grey space all around itself accept for the left side. i wonder how to make it fullscreen. i've tried several sizes of images its always the same issue, my code is similar to yours i've double checked that, maybe it happens because im duin this with platform 1.5 api level 3?

tnx alot again

[MerBarnes]

What if you just want to set the selected image as the background of a new screen/class? 

[androidfunmore]

I need help I thought I followed everything right but get a force close

[MerBarnes]

@androidfunmore Did you set the ContentView in the Tutorial 3 class and set up Tutorial3 and its xml in the manifest? I forget those all the time and get force closed's.

[androidfunmore]

@MerBarnes Yea, it turns out I am just an idiot lol. Typed premission instead of permission.

[lopatamd]

but it it should ask permission, why doesnt it ask in the app ? or it shouldnt ? :D

[CornboyzAndroid]

@lopatamd well we could ask the user for permission, but eh, well .. we will just do it this way. We have to include the permission in the manifest so we can use it. When it is included in the manifest they user will see what permissions are required when they download the app originally, not every time they use it.

[lopatamd]

heh tnx, i had to rewatch some parts, cause you skipped the part about the button

'setWall.setOnClickListener(th­is);' =)))))))))

tnx

[kasirisx]

@lopatamd Where does setWall.setOnClickListener(th­­is); go in at?' 

[lopatamd]

@kasirisx duh already forgot.. just watch the video lol :D you will see after those images i think..

[kasirisx]

In the end ... everything works but my Button :( I have no idea what is wrong, when i go to change the background photo and I hit that change background button it stops the program! So i'm just gonna disable the button and change the wording to photo view!

[CornboyzAndroid]

@kasirisx haha. If you want you can send me your project and I'll see what I can find

[DangerElite]

@CornboyzAndroid

Im having the same problem when i hit Add wallpaper, it quits the program, any solutions yet?

[skyjokiel]

@kasirisx I know you posted this like 2 months ago but I found that when I had large files (960x854) it would force close but when I had a small file I made in paint it worked fine... Just to let you know

[TheMiTy]
