Random wallpaper changer

[Mices7]

Hi there,
I've realised a very simple flow which changes the wallpaper every 4 hours.
It works fine but, even though I've selected "Home screen" as Type, also the lock screen image is changes at the same time.
I've then tried to modify the Type in "Lock screen" and effectively only the image of the lock screen changes.

Where am I doing wrong?


Thanks

From my test, changing home screen wallpaper also change the lockscreen. So in order to change only the home screen wallpaper, you have to use it twice; once to change home screen (and lockscreen) and another to change back the lockscreen to the original one.

Thanks Desmanto you confirmed my doubt.
The trick that you suggested is the one that effectively I adopted.
However, I've tried with another app and it is possible to change the two wallpapers independently.
I assume that we can consider it as a sort of bug, anyway.

What is the another app? Tasker?

AFAIK, the action has been like this since Nougat 7.0+. I wonder if there are nougat 7.0+ user who can change (using automagic Set wallpaper action) only the home screen without changing the lockscreen at the same time.

[Mices7]

No, it is not Tasker, I've tried with Automate.
Hence, since with that app it is possible, I thought that there is something wrong with Automagic.

Android 7.1 here.
I can confirm home-screen and lock-screen are both individually changeable through the automagic "Set wallpaper action".

@Mices7 : Do you try it on the same device? If same device and ROM, it seems to be Automagic's bug.

@digitalstone : Thanks for the confirmation. This immediately ruled out the limitation on Nougat 7.1. I am using RR 6.2.0 Oreo 8.1 and changing home screen will change the lockscreen too.

On my G5+ 8.1 stock rom with automagic changeing home screen wallpaper changes lock screen wallpaper too.

But when i tested it using java script it worked

Code: Select all

homewall="/storage/emulated/0/OOE4xAnBhKo_Full.jpg";
lockwall="/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Mysplash/KOKxOB8550Q.jpg";

WallpaperManager=callJavaStaticMethod("android.app.WallpaperManager", "getInstance(android.content.Context)", getContext());

homewall=callJavaStaticMethod("android.graphics.BitmapFactory", "decodeFile(java.lang.String)", homewall);
lockwall=callJavaStaticMethod("android.graphics.BitmapFactory", "decodeFile(java.lang.String)", lockwall);

//set home screen wall
callJavaMethod(WallpaperManager, "android.app.WallpaperManager", "setBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap, android.graphics.Rect, boolean, int)", homewall, null, true, getJavaStaticField("android.app.WallpaperManager", "FLAG_SYSTEM"));

//set lock screen wall
callJavaMethod(WallpaperManager, "android.app.WallpaperManager", "setBitmap(android.graphics.Bitmap, android.graphics.Rect, boolean, int)", lockwall, null, true, getJavaStaticField("android.app.WallpaperManager", "FLAG_LOCK"))

@Martin can you tell me how to use combination of both flags?

Hi Desmanto,yes I tried with the same device and ROM.
BTW, I'm using Oreo 8.0.

You can try following flow. Just change path where your images are stored.
