creating a server side wallpaper app


am new to android and I am interested in creating an app where I can put the pictures on a server and then call them from the app itself, i have looked and looked for documentation on this but have had no luck. i was hoping that someone could point me into the right direction. i have seen notable apps that use flicker as their pictures. does anyone know how of any documentation that would help me?

<

WebView  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/webview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>

so far a web view is the only similar thing i have found but i honestly do not think am on the right direction, any help would be very apreciated, am looking to place at least 5000 images not only one thank you

  • Basically you need to save the image and use WallpaperManager. See the following link for information.
