I was developing a Livewallpaper which uses a open-source game engine called Andengine(andengine.org), it works fine now except sometimes when user set my Livewallpaper as wall paper, an Exception will be thrown saying "Failed to register input channel. Check logs for details.", but the werid thing is the Livewallpaper still works and did not exit.

Any idea what maybe causing this problem , or how I can fix it?

Answer 1

Sorry, I could only find that the InputQueue "provides a mechanism for an application to receive incoming input events. Currently only usable from native code".

Check the GLSurfaceView class in andengine. That may give you a clue of what is wrong with your wallpaper

You may also want to check why this is happening:
