To answer your qestion, "What features are you missing except for live wallpaper", I'll answer it this way: However, what I'm describing and wanting to do is nothing more than anyone else getting into even the most simplistic and popular "marketable" apps will want to do - start with what would seemingly be the most simplistic of apps and move up from there - and live wallpaper is where most people think they will be able to start. To be sure, what you have done is WONDERFUL, and I know everyone that logs onto this forum is in agreement. Please forgive my noobness in advance for the questions I am getting ready to ask (which I will ask in the proper area on this forum). As a total Java noob, I will be asking LOTS of questions on how to make libraries for B4A and try to add to the product, which I do really like and would prefer to use if possible. Hopefully I will not be doing so, but I do not have a full understanding of how hard it is to create libs for B4A. Please know that the last thing I want to do is cause any problems for anyone. I'm very busy with school, a company I work with and my own apps." XverhelstX: "I'm going to take a look at this WallpaperService, but I won't promis anything. They are way too popular and $uccessful of an app type to be missing from B4A capabilities. And right now, I want to write live wallpapers that make use of looping movie clips or animated GIFs. I want to continue using B4A, but I also want the ability to code up a missing library when I need one. I'll need some help getting my feet wet in writing libs for B4A from you gurus. In the process of loading up the whole Eclipse/JDK/ADT kitchen to try my hand at cooking up some libs for B4A. In both cases, you will become a more competent coder/developer. Then you can either continue developing with Eclipse and Java or your could write your own wrapper-libraries to implement features that might be missing. So yes, I think if you decide to start studying Java, that can only be a good thing. It should be said that some of those features were thereafter implemented by Erel or by some other library-developer. I hardly know any Java but still I have written a few libraries for my own use (some have also been published here on the forum) in order to use some features in Android which were missing in B4A. We must remember that B4A is a still a very young product and I am sure it will get even more full-fledged - just give Erel some time. While most important things are already covered in B4A, it is obvious that it can't cover everything that is "doable" with Eclipse and Java although I must say with the help of the libraries that Agraham and others are implementing, B4A is getting better for each day. I don't think you should consider B4A as a full replacement for Android-development but call it a playtoy seems a bit too strong.
