This article is extension of my previous article about DayDream: What exactly DayDream feature is about?. Now i assume you understood about DayDream, so now i am proceeding further for developing a small example of DayDream.
I have created a simple project to give this demo, you can follow below steps to create DayDream for your Android application.
This feature is come up with Android 4.2 JellyBean. Hope you got 4.2 update in your device. I can explore such features in Nexus 7.
A user can enable Daydream from the Settings -> Display -> DayDream and then choose the daydream to display.
Daydreams combine the best capabilities of live wallpapers and home screen widgets, but they are more powerful. They let you offer the any kind of content in a completely new context, with user interactions such as flipping through photos, playing audio or video, or jumping straight into your app with a single touch.
Because daydreams can start automatically when a device is charging or docked, they also give your app a great way to support new types of user experiences, such as leanback or exhibition mode, demo or kiosk mode, and “attract mode” – all without requiring special hardware.
Capturing photo of the screen and showing it to friend/client/fans for the some purpose like Requirement understanding, explaining about some screens, screen designs or any else. Actually i was surprised about to capture screens for my one of the article i supposed write today, i wasn’t knowing how to capture screenshot, so i have explored web and got to know the tricks but simple step. Its as easy as capturing screenshot in Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy Nexus.
