I've uploaded a SDL Activity and some supporting files that add Live Wallpaper support for Android, if anyone is interested check it out at http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1351 .  Comments, suggestions, etc, are welcome!

This sounds very cool. I've been wanting to try a live wallpaper but I'm not sure if Qt(for Android) is practical for that. I'm in favor of it. Are you planning on writing up a tutorial or an SDL_Hello_LiveWall example demonstrating this patch with possibly an apk?

I don't think it merits a tutorial as it's really not much different from doing a regular Android app with SDL.
If you don't know how to do that, I recommend reading William's blog at http://wilbefast.com and also in my blog I have a few articles that may save you some time http://mdqinc.com/blog/category/android/ . Once you get the app ready, making a Live Wallpaper out of it is as simple as placing the three files in the bug report and applying a small patch to SDL (or cloning from my repo which already has the patches applied).
Any other doubts you may have I'm happy to help.
