- Title:

Wallaby


- Description:

A simple utility to set the wallpaper from bitmaps selected with the Gallery activity.

It's always been a mystery to me why the standard Android wallpaper setter always distorts images even when I have them sized correctly. I never seem to be able to use the scaling controls in a way that doesn't damage the bitmap.

Images selected that are the same height as the screen will default to being used as-is. You can override this behavior with a checkbox which will proportionally scale to screen height.

For those feeling generous, there is also an identical donation version of Wallaby for sale in the Market called Wallaby Donate.


- Recent Changes

1.0.3.3:
- More crash avoidance code added.

1.0.3.2:
- Change to avoid crashing when an image is selected that's not in the Gallery db. Wish I could do better for this one but users don't bother emailing with more details. Can't reproduce.

1.0.3.1:
- Now have a checkbox control to allow old behavior of NOT resizing images to fit screen height

- Added display of image dimensions

1.0.3.0:
- Image resizing is now performed if the selection is taller than screen height. This yields much better results when using camera photos and avoids strange auto-cropping.

1.0.1.1:
- Can now be invoked through the Launcher menu -> Wallpaper menu. No need to use a Launcher icon.
- All UI text is in string resources now to facilitate i18n

1.0.1.0:
- Initial release

Set wallpaper easily from Gallery images without distortion

There are other simple wallpaper setters out there, but so buggy and poorly made. I decided to write yet another. Enjoy.

ATTENTION NOOK USERS: I can't reproduce your environment. Please email me so we can work on the bugs you're seeing. Really, anyone who is having problems, I need more than Market comments. dino8352@gmail.com

This is the donation version of Wallaby for anyone who feels like supporting the author. If you're purchasing now: thank you!
