Where should I initialize resources for an Android Live Wallpaper

Question

I am developing a live wallpaper for Android. The wallpaper allocates some resources such as background bitmaps, sprites, textures, etc.

The question is: where should I allocate and initialize all of the resources? Should I allocate them in WallpaperService.Engine inherited object's constructor or onCreate(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder) method?

Answer 1

Short Answer is yes SurfaceHolder or WallpaperService . since explaining the whole method procedure is pretty huge.
