I'm aware from this article/review on Engadget that live wallpapers can be designed to respond to touch input.
What I was wondering was whether they can be used to toggle controls such as bluetooth, wi-fi etc?
So you can basically embed the switches into the wallpaper itself instead of having them sat on top of the wallpaper and ruining the aesthetics of your home screen.
So, yeah, first question is whether or not it's possible. Second question is (if so), how do you do it?
I'm not at all familiar with live wallpapers or how to go about creating them, so if anyone could offer up any tips, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Also, apologies if this is the wrong section to post this in, it seems right but I could be wrong...
There are a couple off the top of my head.
There is one that fits your description already. It looks like a motherboard and has some touch input spots that you press to disable certain things like data/wifi. I don't remember the name but it should be easy to find in the market.
There was also a live wallpaper builder that had tools to build the application from the PC and then you just have to install it on the phone.
The article I linked to on Engadget is a circuitboard live wallpaper but I didn't think it controlled wi-fi etc (truth be told, it's a while since I watched the video but I don't remember it being able to do so). I'll have another look.
Then again, maybe the wallpaper's been updated since the review.
As for the live wallpaper creator, I did see a program like that on another site but it only seemed to allow you to string together multiple frames, no mention of touch input response.
Ok, so I went back and watched the video review of aCircuit and there are/were LEDs that show the status of the handset's bluetooth, wi-fi etc but (at the time the review was written at least), they didn't act as controls.
As I said previously, it's possible the wallpaper has been updated to add that functionality but I can't find a definite answer either way and I'm loathed to buy it just to find out it's not possible...
Any other help/information would be greatly appreciated...
I hate bumping my own threads but I'm having very little luck finding answers to my questions.
I've found some tutorials about how to create very basic live wallpapers but nothing that would lend itself to what I'm hoping to achieve.
As stated previously, any/all help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys,
I'm really new to this app development and would like to ask one of you experienced developers a question.
Basically I have recently been creating mobile websites from a set of css files which are just a basic template. The template files have individual files for some of the most common pages that a small business would need, google map, contact us with form, menu, opening hours and so on.
What happens is you simply upload the company logo and such into the images folder, update the css style sheet for colours, then simply edit one of the relevant pages e.g place the food items in the menu page.
When the whole set of files gets uploaded it creates a personalised functional business mobile website.
What I would like to know is, would it be possible to set something like this up for an android app? Whereby the user could simply change the details as above and then compile the apk file which will create the app?
Your input is much appreciated, also have any of you got any idea where I could get someone to code something like this?
Regards,
Stephen
HI!
I'm managing a medical warehouse and as always in the end of the year i need to do a stock count.
I need an app that can help me do this:
Search a bar code (scan it will be great) into excel file to find this specific item and mark it. very simple.
But i don't know if there is an app that is dedicated for that or an app that can help me a little bit.
I got apps for the excel file but none of them is simple enough to just search and mark (no bar code scanner to support it ether.)
Is there anyone how thinks he can help me a bit?
Thank you!
Hi all,
Just wondering if someone can help me with developing an app for the Gear S3. It is probably the most simple app ever for you pro's but i am an absolute newbie to coding. I've managed to code it in html but want to have this running on my Gear S3.
Basically this is the app.... A list of "subcategories" and when you click on this subcategory it opens up another list of "items" and when you click on each of the items it loads an image off my website with some text below the image which would be a description of the image. If someone could maybe help me out and list say 2 "subcategories" and 2 "items" and point out where to insert the web address and change the text that would be greatly appreciated. I can then further develop it from there.
This app will not be sold so i wont be using your services to make money. It will just be used locally.
Thanks so much in advanced for your help.
Hi guys
So there is this specific thing I need to accomplish. I searched and searched and couldn't find an app for it. Maybe I'm not phrasing it well in my searches? If someone can help guide me in the right direction that would be appreciated...
I need an app to help generate paragraphs from a form. For example I want to app to start with a form with the following drop down lists:
"Male" and "Female"
"Tall" and "Short"
Age ranging from "1" to "100"
Then after filling out the drop down boxes the app can generate a paragraph from a pre-set text eventually saying "A male who is 35 years old who is short" based on my selection.
Thanks in advance and have a great day!
Alternatives that I can think of:
Do this with Excel/Google Sheets
Create HTML page and open it in browser
Create flow with Automate
