Android :: Change Droid Widget Setup Preferences After Creation?
Jan 31, 2010
Say my app has a widget and I use a configuration screen to do initial app widget setup and set a few preferences.
I want the user to be able to change those settings by simply going into my app's settings screen and clicking an intent preference to open up the same options the user was given when the app was created.
Can I use the same activity as the configuration activity? Will I have to handle it differently? How does the existing widget get updated with the new settings?
How can I get this to work?

Is there a simple way to change the contents of a dialog box in Android without having to re-create the dialog box? I know that Activity.onCreateDialog() is only called once when the dialog first needs to be created, and this is where you initially set the dialog's contents. I need to change the dialog's contents later, so I'm wondering what is the proper way to do this.

I think that it would be too complex to open a database. Does using shared preferences make my app's data size become big. Is there a temporary storage place for my data or should I delete the data in the shared preferences for that widget.

I'm trying to give an option to users to be able to change the theme to the light one. I can't find any command or anything for this. I know I can set this in the Manifest file but this is not what I'm looking for.

I have a Service and a PreferenceActivity that allows the user to edit some preferences. I would like to restart the Service once the user is done with the PreferenceActivity.
I understand that I can register onChange listeners for individual preference changes, but I do not want to restart the Service as each preference changes. I would like to do this when the user is done editing all the preferences. Short of having a "Apply Now" button in the PreferenceActivity, I do not see a straightforward way of doing this.

I have been looking for a method to change the default SMS application's preference programmatically.
I found that those preferences are stored as "shared preferences", probably in data/data/com.android.sms/something.xml, but I am not able to get to that directory since I haven't rooted my phone.
Do you have any clue?

Is there anyway to set the calendar widget up so that it shows more than events that are going to happen within the week? for ex. I have an orientation for school on august 18th, but it doesn't show up on my calendar widget because its more than a week away.

I am using a PreferenceActivity to let the user set some values. I am feeding it the xml file with the defined preferences.
I have set all the android:defaultValue="" for them.
When I start my application, I need the preferences, or if they are not set yet manually, I want the default values:
CODE:.................
However, when android:defaultValue="true" I still get false. So, it looks like the defaultValues set in the XML are not used anywhere but when initializing the preferences-screen.
I don't want to hardcode the default values in the getBoolean() method. So, is there a way get the default-values with only defining these in 1 place?

Now that the OTA is coming, I'm guessing a lot of us will do a factory reset after update to Froyo. I'm wondering if someone can give some tips regarding what to do before and after the factory reset, including but not limited to the following:
0. how to do a factory reset?
1. to reinstall apps (is appbrain the best way?).
2. to keep personal/contact info (will Google contact sync keep everything on the phone?).
3. to keep desktop/widget setup (e.g. LLP backup and restore tips).
4. any Droid X specific quirk?

When I log into my email accounts that I have set up it automatically downloads the entire message, including the attachments. I would like to have the option to decide whether or not I want to see the whole message. On my old phone it was in the settings, but I can't seem to find anything on this one. Anyone know where/how I can do this?

My widget says max is 600 no matter what i set it at inside the application. when I go in and, say, set it to 800 it will stay there and then when i back out the widget will say 600 max still. Is this a widget error or am I doing something wrong in trying to set my processing speeds?

My application is used on multiple platforms so it saves it preferences to a file (rather than to the standard Android SharedPreferences).
Is there any easy of reusing the PreferenceActivity to save preferences to a file or is it a case of creating a whole new activity to do the job? If the latter is the case is there a layout I can use that will make the activity look like the normal preferences screen? PreferenceActivity uses com.android.internal.R.layout.preference_list_content but this doesn't appear to be available to apps for reuse.

I was wondering if it is possible to start a ListActivity and in real time decide how far down the list it should be focused on. (Example: When the activity is started it checks for certain conditions and then it may scroll down to a row partially through the list.)

I trying to understand how a new process is being created based on AndroidManifest.xml, also looking for the possibility of creating/ forking a new Java process/new DVM instance at runtime.
I could find that using Runtime.exec one can issue system commands or launch native applications, but this is not what I am looking for, I am looking for creating an equivalent java process just as the parent java process.
Can I launch an installed android application at runtime from another android application? Whats the way for doing this?

Is there any way to set this to scroll all scores? For example, if I set my favorite NBA team to Miami Heat and they're off, it jumps straight into the next sport of my other favorite teams. I'd prefer to set it to scroll all NBA, NFL, and College Football / Basketball games.

I have a widget that changes some system settings, but it will not take right away. It seems like I need to refresh the system settings for it to take. How do you change some system settings from a widget that take instantly?
when my widget is pressed it goes to an activity with a blank background to change the system settings. one of the settings that are changed is the display brightness. this is the code i use to change the display brightness. once i change the settings i call the finish function to exit the activity so i am not stuck there after the settings are changed. One thing i did notice is that if i didnt exit the activity the settings did change, but i was stuck in the activity. its when i added the class.this.finish(); to exit the activity that the settings don't change. code...

I have a widget which has say, a dimension of 294*72(portrait). But when the orientation is changed, I need to change this dimension of the widget to another dimension which would look good on the landscape orientation.

I want to create an event to change what my image button looks like, but only when it is being pushed down. So far I have been using an onTouch listener, but that just changes it permanently. I can't find anything like an onKyeUpListener() type of thing for the button.
Does anything like this exist? code...

My Gmail account works great, and I have my aol and yahoo acounts set up no problem (well the yahoo was a little problem but got it to work so thats all that matters).

Showing sunshine at 11pm and the moon at 9am. and before you go there, yes the clock is set correctly. Im set on a 3 hour refresh for weather, so i understand a little lag, but i would think this thing would go out to the net and know when sunrise and sunset are?

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, I looked and couldn't find anything, but my HTC Weather/Clock widget isn't doing the "flip" animation when the time changes. The numbers change and that is all.

I'm looking for an app that allows you to setup certain actions just by pressing a widget....basically like running a batch file. For instance, let's say I setup a Car widget. When I press that, I'd like my BT to turn on, my WiFi to turn off, Drivesafe.ly to turn itself on and the Car Panel to open up. Not sure exactly how I'd configure it, but just an idea. I'm now testing out Bluetooth Power Profile which will turn BT on any time the charger is plugged in, but I'm looking for a bit more control. Figured someone here would know if something like this existed.
