Live Wallpaper using JMonkeyEngine?

Troubleshooting android
1

Is it possible to use a JMonkeyEngine app for Live Wallpaper in Android? I don’t see any specific JMonkeyEngine class to derive from to do this. Is there some other way of doing it? Has anyone ever gotten JMonkeyEngine to work for this?

I think thats not a good idea at all, using a whole game engine and OpenGL for a wallpaper? Anyway you can open a GL context and use jME in any type of android app, just change the android project settings and main activity according to what google suggests for wallpaper apps…

I want the wallpaper to be a 3D scene so JMonkeyEngine is just an easy way of doing that. Do you know of any example source code of embedding JMonkeyEngine in a regular Android app as you suggest?

The AndroidHarness itself is such an example. For the wallpaper thing itself you’ll have to resort to googles documentation.

Thanks. I’ll have to examine AndroidHarness and figure out what it is doing and why. I noticed there is a DemoMainActivity that also extends Activity. It’s not documented what DemoMainActivity does. What is its purpose?

Starting the demos/examples with a selector.
