How to set wallpaper in Android

Question

I am using Android SDK 1.6. Could someone tell me how to set an image as the wallpaper in the homescreen.

getApplicationContext().setWallpaper(); 

seems to be not working for me.

Although "getApplicationContext().setWallpaper();" works, it's not a good idea to use it because is deprecated. The best option nowadays is to use Wallpaper Manager – Paginate

Answer 1

You have to add the SET_WALLPAPER permission to your AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest xlmns:android...>
 ...
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER" />
</manifest>
