Android :: Desktop Icons / Widgets And Wallpapers Chew Up Battery?
Dec 30, 2009I have a G1, love it, but it has a wimpy battery as many of us know. I have been wondering if widgets, desktop icons and even the choice of wallpaper, or picture that is used for the desktop background make any real difference in battery life. No matter how I use the phone, the display is always the main or at least major component of battery usage.
I read on an android website that desktop widgets do tax the battery and it was also suggested that having all three desktops full of icons also does so. Lastly, I was thinking that a black desktop ( I took a picture of a piece of black paper ) would use the least battery because the screen is not producing any light. Any input on these things ? If it would give appreciably better battery life, I would black out the desktops as I have done and not have any icons or widgets.

Motorola Droid X :: App To Backup / Restore Utility For Desktop Widgets?
Sep 23, 2010Is there an app that will backup and restore your desktop widgets to there original position. I know you can backup/restore your icons with Launcher Pro, Titanium, etc... but they do not restore working widgets. Is the only way to do this through a complete system restore like nandroid?
I would like to be able to restore my desktop with widgets after something like a factory reset or custom ROM install. Is it possible to restore just the desktop/widgets from a nandroid backup? What data would I restore to accomplish that?

Jan 23, 2013OK, so I have an old phone (HTC Incredible S) and I want to load in a custom rom so that on start up only two apps are running and that's it. No desktop, no nothing else.
Fist of all I want to make sure this would even work. I imagine I would have control over the device via the ADB USB link but I would need to make sure that's ALWAYS available. I am an avid Linux user and cross compile on a monthly basis so I can learn the procedure easily enough.
I would be running a config app (for wifi, screen brightness, etc) that would also send back the accelerometer and compass data to my PC. The second app is an XRDP client so I can log into my desktop. This way I can have the power of my desktop on a portable device (around the house) but should increase battery life significantly. If this was to work then I can pick up a $200 used 10" tablet to make the setup more useful.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Namespaces And Custom Widgets
May 10, 2010As a continuation of the thread in http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers /browse_thread/threa, I'm still trying to figure out how a custom widget can use getIdentifier() to read attributes. As an example, I have a widget class called Custom Widget. It has attributes "inner_margin" and "outer_margin". Normally, to read these attributes, I would do the following in source code: import com.example. customactivity. R;// I don't want to do this. TypedArray a = ctx.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable. CustomWidget); innerMargin = a.getInt(R.styleable.CustomWidget_inner_margin, 0); Because my CustomWidget is intended to be shared among a number of projects, or even get published, it's a real problem having to import R from whatever activity it's going to be linked with. What I'd rather do is: int resid = ctx.get Resources ().get Identifier ("inner_margin", "int", "com.example.customwidget"); innerMargin = a.getInt(resid, 0); but getidentifier always returns zero. Can anybody tell me the magic I need to perform to do what I want? For completeness, my CustomWidget.xml file that defines the resources looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <declare-styleable name="CustomWidget"> <attr name="outer_margin" format="integer" /> <attr name=" inner_margin" format="integer" /> </declare-styleable> </resources> and for even more completeness, the entire source code can be found at http://www.efalk.org /tmp/ CustomWidget.tar.gz You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Jul 29, 2009I would like to create a widget that can reads its attributes from an XML file onCreate. I've created a Custom Button that extends Button widget. I would like to define its layout and styling in an XML, such that the widget can be reused across different views, with the same styling attributes. The notepad sample code does carry some pointers to this problem, however, it defines a XML layout with the component as View, inside LinearLayout, which is not really what I'm trying to achieve here.

Mar 28, 2012I'm redoing my home screen, and I want to have a few text icons that take me directly to specific home screens. Apex launcher has action shortcuts for this, but they are only 1x1. I cannot use widgets to get these actions... I have to use shortcuts. I have done what I want with 1x1 shortcuts, but they are just too small for my taste. I really want 2x1 shortcuts. I have not been able to figure out how to make them with either Simple Text or Desktop Visualizer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Android - Transforming Widgets Within Transformed Widgets - Usability
Jun 2, 2010I'm new to Android application development and I'm currently experimenting with various UI ideas. In the image below, you can see a vertically scrolling list of horizontally scrolling galleries (and also textviews as you can see). I'm also doing some matrix and camera transformations which I will come to in a minute.
For the background of the list elements, I use green. Blue is the background of the galleries, and red is the background for the images. These are just for my benefit of learning.
The galleries being used are extended classes where I overrode the drawChild method to perform a canvas scale operation in order for the image closest to the center (width) to be larger than the others. The list view going vertically, I overrode the drawChild method and used the camera rotations from lack of depth dimension in the canvas functionality. The items in the list are scaled down and rotated relative to their position's proximity to the center (height).............
