How to create a live wallpaper for android

I know there's a lot of information about creating a live wallpaper with renderscript, but I thought I read somewhere that this way of doing things would be deprecated. I don't know if I just imagined that or not, but I don't want to start learning something that won't be supported in the future.

Any good resources or helpful links?

Solution

  • As you can see that it is deprecated from API 16 so that is Android 4.1

    so in that case have a look at this.

    You can use OpenGL ES 2.0
