How to create a live wallpaper for android

Question

I know there's a lot of information about creating a live wallpaper with renderscript, but I thought I read somewhere that this way of doing things would be deprecated. I don't know if I just imagined that or not, but I don't want to start learning something that won't be supported in the future.

Any good resources or helpful links?

These seem to be for 2.1, I'm looking for something that takes into account performance, such as renderscript. However renderscript is deprecated, which is what I've mentioned in the question... – travis Jul 09 '13 at 18:07

As you can see that it is deprecated from API 16 so that is Android 4.1

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/renderscript/RenderScriptGL.html

so in that case have a look at this.

You can use OpenGL ES 2.0

Yes I know that it's deprecated, that's why I asked for current resources. – travis Jul 09 '13 at 18:09
