Home screens

When your device have several home screens, two functions in Processing tell you how to adjust the graphics in the sketch depending on which is the current screen: wallpaperHomeCount() and wallpaperOffset(). wallpaperHomeCount() holds the number of home screens (it can change while the wallpaper is running as the users adds or removes home screens). wallpaperOffset() is a float number between 0 and 1 that that measures the horizontal displacement along the screens: 0 at the leftmost location, and 1 when we are located at the rightmost homescreen. This post on stackoverflow explains in more detail how the x offset works.


PImage img;
float ratio;

void setup() {
  fullScreen();
  img = loadImage("landscape.jpg");
  ratio = float(img.width)/float(img.height);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  float w = wallpaperHomeCount() * width;
  float h = w/ratio;
  float x = map(wallpaperOffset(), 0, 1, 0, -(wallpaperHomeCount()-1) * width);
  image(img, x, 0, w, h);
}
