I have recently been learning about Firefox OS/B2G. I am aware of the extensive set of APIs in place that are able to fetch images from the wallpaper gallery, change settings and set reminders (to name a few). However, I'm completely stumped as to how to how to change the wallpaper, or, indeed, if this is even possible. Apologies if this is a silly question. Many thanks in advance.
You can do this by using a share activity
// imgToShare is the image you want to set as wallpaper
var shareImage = document.querySelector("#share-image"),
imgToShare = document.querySelector("#image-to-share");
if (shareImage && imgToShare) {
shareImage.onclick = function () {
if(imgToShare.naturalWidth > 0) {
// Create dummy canvas
var blobCanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
blobCanvas.width = imgToShare.width;
blobCanvas.height = imgToShare.height;
// Get context and draw image
var blobCanvasContext = blobCanvas.getContext("2d");
blobCanvasContext.drawImage(imgToShare, 0, 0);
// Export to blob and share through a Web Activitiy
blobCanvas.toBlob(function (blob) {
new MozActivity({
name: "share",
data: {
type: "image/*",
number: 1,
blobs: [blob]
}
});
});
}
else {
alert("Image failed to load, can't be shared");
}
};
}
You can test a live example with the Firefox OS boilerplate https://github.com/robnyman/Firefox-OS-Boilerplate-App/ .
