Attributes

Remarks

Provides access to the system wallpaper. With WallpaperManager, you can get the current wallpaper, get the desired dimensions for the wallpaper, set the wallpaper, and more. An app can check whether wallpapers are supported for the current user, by calling isWallpaperSupported(), and whether setting of wallpapers is allowed, by calling isSetWallpaperAllowed(). Any public APIs added to WallpaperManager should have a corresponding stub in ERROR(DisabledWallpaperManager/android.app.DisabledWallpaperManager DisabledWallpaperManager).
