I'm trying to make an android live wallpaper. I am looking for just a simple example that just displays a solid background and does nothing else to get me started. I've looked up quite a few tutorials but they all have preference activities and I can't get any of them to work. I've even tried removing everything that it does not need other than the required override functions. Can anyone post the code for just a simple live wallpaper or post a link to an example that definitely works.

I've been using the android emulator with version 2.1 sdk 7. It runs the cube live wallpaper that comes in the sdk, but when I create the cube project myself it doesn't work.

Thanks!!!
