The set wallpaper task used to work fine until an android update some time back.
For a few weeks now this hasn't been working. Instead of setting the wallpaper to the selected image, it sets it to an image I don't recognize (the one in the attachment).
I am also attaching a screenshot of the task
yes.
I created this action and ran it by pressing the play button in the bottom left of the screen.
When I do so, the wallpaper changes to the below
That's very weird. Does it make a different if you disable the Scale option?
very good shout! I didn't think about trying.
Having deselected the scale option is setting the wallpapers using the correct images. I suppose the problem is that however now the images are not being scaled to fit the screen
Thank you! I'm trying to reproduce the scaling issue and I can't seem to do it... Do you get the exact same background with scaling enabled, independently of the background image you select in the Tasker action?
yes, it's always the same and it's always this - regardless of what other image I select when scaling is ticked
Hhmm, is that maybe a default wallpaper that's available on your device that you can select from the built-in wallpaper list?
Could you please check by trying to set the wallpaper manually and see if it shows in that list? Thanks!
there are a bunch of categories when you go in the wallpapers menu.
I opened some of them (not all). They all contain dozens of pictures, and I can't spot that specific one... sorry!
Thanks again. What happens if you use the Crop option? How does that work for you?
Hi. Can you please share the original image that you're trying to set as the wallpaper so I can try it out? Thanks
Hi, sure. It's below.
However the image is irrelevant. The same thing happens with any image I try, not a specific one.
Thanks. Does the same thing happen if you create a new test task and manually select the wallpaper file there (without using variables) and then run the action directly in Tasker?
