Android :: Create App That Comes With A Widget / Program?
Jan 4, 2010
I am trying to find a way to create a widget and the program on the same app so that i can give the user the choice to add to the home screen either the dynamic widget or the normal program, same functionality for both except that the widget would run a service to update every x hours and the program won't. Similar to what "bbc news" and "weather bug" have done. I am guessing that something needs to be added to the manifest but i have not found any documentation for it. Can anyone help on this?

I can create a static widget without thinking, I can even create a widget like the analogue clock widget that will update itself, however, I can not for the life of me figure out how to create a widget that reacts to when a user clicks on it. Here is the best code sample that the developer documentation gives to what a widget activity should contain (the only other hint being the API demos, which only creates a static widget):
public class ExampleAppWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
// Create an Intent to launch ExampleActivity
Intent intent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);
// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener to the button
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.appwidget_provider_layout);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendingIntent);................

I'm new to Android and Java programming and I've manage to create a simple paint program, but how do I add a zoom feature? Right now I'm just extending the View class and using the "on Draw()" method. Do I have to use a Drawable to be able to add zooming functionality? I'm not really understanding the differences between the two. If I am way off base then please point me to a good tutorial on paint/zooming.

I have to create a program using accelerometers. I have written these pieces of code in order to start recording the accelerometer data when you push start, stopping when you press stop and then saving that in a file called data1.csv and so on (data2,3 4 etc). The reason I want to do this is so that I can look at the data for a given gesture and analyse it using graphs and other simple methods.
The issue I'm having is this program just makes random empty files - doesnt seem to log the data. It does make each file though, so that's nice
Code:
package com.test.Acceltest;
import java.util.List;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.Sensor;
import android.hardware.SensorManager;
[code]...

I am developing droid apps with eclipse (new to both) and have a basic Layout question. When using the layout tab (rather than the coding tab) in my main.xml, I am trying to create a home screen for when my app opens.
There is going to be the logo at the top center, then 3 simple buttons below, all centered. How do I go about formatting the Logo so it maintains a size relative to the person's screen size, and stays in the center?
I don't want to write sloppy code to where my program looks fine (UI wise) on my screen and is poorly formatted on other's screens. Also, is there good documentation explaining all of the Property values in the layout view?

I use a Live Wallpaper .apk called "Waterize Live" that is very cool. You can basically make any wallpaper look like it is submerged in water.Anyway, the only problem is that it only takes images that are sized perfectly to fit in "portrait" mode on your EVO. I will use larger images, but squish them to fit.I am looking for a wallpaper editing program that will take my normal EVO wallpapers are create these "portrait" sized versions for me. If no such app exists, can someone tell me the exact dimensions on EVO portrait view?

Anyway I have a couple of video's I'd like to watch and the only way is through photo's widget/program I know there are other players on the market, so what I need is one that has good functionality like being able to playback with repeat similar to windows media player. Don't need a player that needs a browser open to function or using up system resources.

Is there a way to toggle the apps we have on our home screens on/off? Right now I don't have a live wallpaper but when I do (I change wallpapers often), I'd like to show some people the phone colors without the icons on it.
Is there any program/widget that anyone knows of that toggles them on/off?

I've downloaded Beautiful Widget and have the temp and clock on the homescreen. My question is, when you click on the widget, it doesn't bring you to a full weather program like weatherchannel or weatherbug? Meaning like, in the "stock" weather widgets, if you click on them while open, it brings u into a weather program where you then have the option to look at a closer look or detailed forecast.

I am looking to create an android widget for my application. It is a static widget, meaning it does not periodically update itself with new data (like google search widget)? If that is the case, do I still need to create a service like the Word Widget sample in the android sdk?

I need to create something like a JTree for my app and have been looking at ExpandableListView, but it only allows two levels. Does anyone know if it's possible to extend this to an arbitrary number of levels? I need a single top level and, below that, several second levels, each of which may contain their own levels. I would expect that one could set a second-level (child) item to be an ExpandableListView of it's own, but it doesn't seem possible. Thanks for any help on this, as it's holding up my entire project.

In ApiDemo, there is a progressBar demo. It creates a horizontal progress bar with a xml.
<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progress_horizontal" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_width="200dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:max="100" android:progress="50" android:secondaryProgress="75" />
But how to create one programmatically? If just new ProgressBar(fContext), it is Default ProgressBar style.

I tried out Flyscreen the other day and found its card-based flipping through rss/facebook/twitter/weather to be very fluid and pretty. The trouble is, I don't really want that as my lockscreen (besides which, it doesn't seem to truly lock the screen). Does anyone know of a similar app that creates a widget I can flip through in a similar way on a homescreen?

One of the things I liked about Sense (I'm rooted now and running the Second Wave ROM) was the HTC weather animations when the screen was unlocked. After installing Widget Locker, I noticed an option to turn them on and now I have them back! I also installed the Weather & Toggle Widget and installed the weather skin that looks just like the Sense weather with the flip clock.The annoying part is that when it's sunny, or partly sunny, the "sun animation" from Sense doesn't perfectly align with the Weather & Toggle Widget weather icon. I know, I know, it's a minor problem and goes away when the animation is done, but the lack of symmetry sometimes annoys the hell out of me.

I am writing my first application and am trying to get my widget to load a different image when it is added to the home screen based on the state of the notification volume.It is detecting the notification state fine and the proper Toast messages appear when I add the widget, but I'm not getting any icon.I just get an empty button.I'm using the same code to change the icon in my onReceive() method to do other things and that works fine.Is this the proper way to accomplish that?
