Is it possible to create an Android Live Wallpaper (LWP) using Delphi XE5 (with Android development add-on of course)? It is fairly easy to develop a simple app for Android with Delphi XE5, but I could not find any info on how to make a LWP. Does anyone have any pointers? Thanks!

I don't think you'll find anything. Not yet a while, anyway.
Delphi's Android support is quite new and is targeted essentially at business apps.
Whilst it is feasible to do do other things, most of the interesting things involve a lot of cumbersome chicanery to, say, add a splash screen or launch other installed activities and get results.
I daresay similar amounts of effort could be put towards setting up a live wallpaper, but there is no info on how to do so with Delphi as yet.
Interestingly, it's the first time I've seen live wallpaper mentioned as a desired target for Delphi. Mostly it's services and broadcast receivers (which are also eminently feasible, but again markedly involved).

1Thank you for your answer. I think Delphi (with Firemonkey) actually has a lot of potential for nice LWPs. If I succeed in making one, I'll update here. – The Baronet Nov 06 '13 at 11:29
