Monkey Targets Forums/Android/Live Wallpaper? Simple How-To?

Hey, all--

Can anyone describe what might need to be changed in a Monkey build folder to make a project into a Live Wallpaper on Android?

I found an old thread on this site that describes, in general, how one makes an Android app into a Live Wallpaper, but the content is above and beyond what I'm up for doing at this stage-- it doesn't cover how to do it in Monkey, just has some great links to how you'd do it from scratch in Eclipse, for example.

Thanks!

It requires a total rewrite of Monkey's native functions... Its not simple, and I reckon its probably best as a totally next target.

I love that idea! I was thinking the same thing for Screensavers in Windows-- although, I guess they used to just be .exe with a .scr instead. Is that still true?

Android Live Wallpaper target would be useful.

Thanks for that, @Soap! That's helpful to know, too.
