Android :: Custom Clock Widget Service Work-around?
Dec 21, 2009
I was interested in developing a clock widget for the homescreen and upon reading Home Screen Widgets tutorial, I wondered if there is a pre-existing Service I could reference for updating the current time rather than re-inventing the wheel?I download the Retro Clock application on my android phone and noticed that when I click it, it pops up the Alarm Clock settings, but with the default Google Analog Clock widget, upon click does nothing.Is that because the Retro Clock widget implements the Alarm Clock service? If so, how can I go about referencing that service? Or do I have this all wrong and misunderstood?

What way is most efficient for updating an widget that will be a clock(Timer/Alarm), but for a clock to really works, like a clock it would be needed to update at least twice in a minute (30 sec period or less).
But that can't be effective? Have looked at some of the "threads/topics" here at StackOverFlow but haven't found any information regarding effectiveness.
(Don't own an android device yet, so I can't really test battery draining and cpu)

I wants to create a custom clock widget. Firstly I try to rotate one needle. There is no error found. But IMAGEVIEW stands still.
Here is my widget.java.
Code:
public class widget extends AppWidgetProvider {
@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
Timer timer = new Timer();
[code]....

My weather on my clock widget won't find my current location. It can find other major cities like New York and nearby Cleveland, but it can't zero in on my little town, which it always has before.
My wife's is working and shows our town, but mine just sits there blank with the town name saying no information is found.
I deleted the widget off the screen and readded it. I pulled the battery. Neither worked.

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);................

Is there any app with a clock like the HTC Sense one but WITHOUT the weather? Something like this but without any animations, temperature, etc. I just want the time and date.

I was wondering was there if there was a better clock than the HTC sense clock, I like it and all but i think it's to big for what I'm going to want to put on my new phone(when it eventually comes out)
any suggestions, ones that probably should include the weather/date with the time too

All I'm looking for is a widget that looks like the clock that comes standard on the sense UI, but without the weather info. Anything like that out there? Date and Location i'd still like to have, the large time still there, but no weather information.

I'm desperately looking for Digital Clock Widget v1.8.5 by Maize, link to AppBrain page: Digital Clock Widget - Android app on AppBrain
I can't get it off the Market (it's not there) and I can't find the .apk anywhere on the web...
Since it is a free app, I hope it's okay to post here to ask if anyone has the .apk file and would be willing to share it? It's a great widget and I deleted it by mistake!

As I'm reorganizing my main home screen (HTC Desire), I find that the original HTC 4x2 takes up too much space especially because I don't care about the weather part of it. I do like the "flip clock" design though. I have looked around for an alternative and have found the following solutions:
BeautifulWidget small home widgetThis looks nice, especially with the right skin, but it's still a 4x1 widget and the clock itself is not centered even when hiding the weather part of it. Is it possible at all to have the clock centered? Digital World Clock widgetThis one is a 2x1 widget without weather, which means I can center it at the top of the screen. Unfortunately the date display is bogus on a French locale phone, it does not respect the date format (day month year) and the name of the day of the week (Thursday) gets displayed as a number (5) I have contacted the author about that, I'll see if he replies.

I need a widget or app similar to a palm app called "Big clock".It has the following functionality:
1. Time: The time tab has a full calendar, time and date
2. World Clock: With at least 2 cities
3. Alarms: 4 configurable alarms that can be set to repeat on a day or days selected. (Great to remind me to watch certain shows).
4. Count-down timer.
I hope someone can point me to an app that has all these features or hopefully a developer can develop a similar app for Android.Click the link to view the big clock app from palm (Warning) it's a very old app and shows it's age: bigclock

Considering buying Beautiful Widgets, just for the clock (the small clock here on the right But I don't want to buy it, if you can't use the clock without the weather-part. Beautiful Widgets has been downloaded so many times, one of you must have it and be able to answer my question Alternatively, is there another clock only widget, that uses the same font?

how the alarm clock works. If u create an alarm, the informations must be saved somewhere and if u activate an alarm there must be an service in the background which look if the time is right and then send an intent to an activity ? This service have to run every time the phone is on.
I'm writing an app which is in this point very similar to an android alarm clock.The user enter a start and end time , in this time the app should do something, but it should not only work while the user is in the app, it should also work when the user is in another app, on the home screen or when the display is off.I already tried it with 2 activities, a Broadcast, but it won't really workl

I want the HTC Desk Clock Widget (the one with great weather animations, etc) on my Droid X. I was thinking it would be easy, but I'm guessing I'll have to "root" both devices. In lieu of that, does anyone know of a Desktop Clock app WITH weather that actually works properly on the Droid X. The one I purchased the other day (and since returned for refund) (from "Apps4Cause") was virtually non-functional.

Im looking for a digital clock widget that is just the clock. No weather or anything like that. Sounds simple enough? Well, the problem is, I find all these nice clocks but theyre all 1x2 or even 1x1. Im looking for something atleast 1x4. 2x4 is fine also. I like beautiful widgets but I dont want the weather.

I'm using LauncherPro and i wanted a clock and weather widget. so naturally i purchased Beautiful Widgets. When i put "Beautiful Smaller Home" on my home screen the weather only updates when I turn my phone off and then back on. I've gone into the settings and ensured that both Geolocation and Use GPS over Network were enabled. Any ideas why it isn't updating and/or is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

I use a third party alarm app, "Alarmed," because the default android app can't have the alarm volume ramp up with time. I would like to have a widget that launches Alarmed, but it doesn't come with a widget of its own.
Does anyone know of a 2x2 clock widget that you can set to launch any app you choose when you tap it? Or does anyone know of an alarm app/widget combo that lets you have the alarm slowly ramp up in volume over time?

I am currently trying to create a cuckoo clock widget in which I am facing problem with updating the pendulum sound each second. My pendulum has to keep on ticking each second with sound effects integrated. I am doing update every second and I am able to play the sound using
mPlay = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.chime); mPlay.start();
But after about 30 seconds, the sound stops playing giving the log error as follows:
E/AudioTrack( 2106): AudioFlinger could not create track, status: -12 E/AudioSink( 2106): Unable to create audio track E/VorbisPlayer( 2106): mAudioSink open failed
Then again the same sound starts playing after a pause of about 20 seconds instead of getting played each second. It continues in this fashion of playing the sound file for some seconds, then to the pause state and then again playing from start. This problem doesn't come into picture when I'm trying to update the sound on hourly basis for my hourly chime because in that case only once every hour this sound is played, same is the case for updation every minute. This problem arises only for updating the sound each second. What is the reason behind this delay?
