17/8/2013 : 'flame' Live Wallpaper

Took code from 2 sources:

xscreensaver 'flame' module, whole package available at the xscreensaver home
Live Wallpaper tutorial sample code from codeproject

And with a bit of brute force (and initially some ignorance) glued the two together to produce a fully working Live Wallpaper which shows the classic XWindows fractal screensaver as a background on Android devices.

There were 3 main stages involved in this:

Initial renaming of sample project
Porting flame.c into a usable java class, rendering to an Android Canvas
Coding the settings options in a PreferencesScreen layout description

AFlame.apk
