I can export it as an app, but not as live wallpaper, idk what’s wrong. I’m using MIUI android 8.

Hello guy, I am afraid that you have missed something necessary in your code.

 ![Screenshot_2023-12-25-21-14-44-23_2742f51b80086cbfc6af4e7ce6c483cb](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/3X/5/a/5aa2af3f198ca9d5448d1b016e37662911874faf.jpeg)  
Firstly, maybe you need to put fullScreen() in setup() to init your wallpaper.  
Secondly, you had better run your code in the wallpaper mode to sure there is no error caused by the compiler itself.  
By the way, I am new to apde but I hope this would really help you:)  
Good luck(づ ●─● )づ

Well, ofc i checked that. And yeah i ran it in wallpaper mode, so it’s not a problem with my code.

</div>

how did you manage to have ‘settings’ and ‘setup’ in your sketch at the same time, without getting an error message from apde?

i can only have one of them, otherwise my code does not compile…  
so i always only use ‘setup’ and all works fine (wallpaper too)…

weird…

so maybe try with ‘setup’ only…?

No, that’s not the problem, I’m still getting the error.

I had another look at your console output, and after some scrolling i stumbled onto this error:

> /data/user/0/com.calsignlabs.apde/app\_build/AndroidManifest.xml:1: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at ‘theme’ with value ‘@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.FullScreen’).

Do you have an selfmade AndroidManifest.xml in your sketch folder by any chance?  
Or are you trying to set a theme programmatically somewhere?

Does it work if you try to export a blank sketch (bare minimum) as wallpaper?

Or just post your code and i try to export the sketch on my end…

lots’a questions 😁

Sorry for late response.  
No i don’t have android Manifest in the sketch folder.  
And im still getting the error even with blank sketch.

The problem is not with the Sketch Preview, but with exporting an app. What does that have to do with it? And yes, that didn’t help either.

Make sure you’re using the latest version of APDE (or whatever software you’re using).
