I'm no expert in apps and i've been searching everywhere have download a bazillion (okay a little less then that) apps in search of an app that has a widget I can place on one of the home screens to where it contains my to do list and i can check off items i've completed right in the widget. Is this not possible? I'm not too familiar with everything that goes behind making a widget so I apologize in advance if its a silly question. In other words I want a to do list but I want to be able to actually check off the things ive completed within the widget that is on my home screen.

It states that enabling this will "require more battery plus view of sky"
When checked, it states "deselect to conserve battery"
So, the question is, should this be enabled?
I imagine for some applications, knowing your precise location should be useful, especially if the turn-by-turn maps are installed and used.
I'm thinking to deselect this, and selecting it at times when I need it.
So, to check or not to check?
will the device wake up if there is a widget instance on the homepage but the widget provider or receiver is disabled?If I have a widget instance on the home page, but if I were to disable the widget provider from receiving messages by disabling the component, and if I have no components receiving the messages targeted for that widget, will Android still wake up the device?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOne 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to pass the same touch events on one widget to the other so they both scroll at the same time and in same way. I have two Gallery widgets one above and one below. If the above one is scrolled then I want to pass the same touch event to the bottom widget so it also scrolls the same way.I have tried to use dispatchtouchevent events but I am facing an issue where in if the bottom gallery widget has some edit text then the edit text gets the key event and both widgets doesnt scroll anymore.I have tried to set focussable and editable to false on edittext even then it gets the touch events.I think I am going in the right direction. However I need some assistance in doing the right way.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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 basically want a widget which has a simlar layout as the twitter widget.As you can see the tweet text nicely wraps around the AUTHOR element. This can be done with one TextView using the following method: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#sele.The problem is that its a widget and i only have access to the ui elements using the RemoteViews.I was thinking of using a layout manager for this, but its impossible because textviews are always rectangular.So how do i do this? I know you helped twitter build their application.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI haven't really concerned myself with app piracy; I only have one app under my belt for Android, it's in beta and it's free. I'm about to start development on another app and looking to use ProGuard for obfuscation and LVL as I would like to make it a paid app, and I've been wondering something ever since the news that LVL had been circumvented months ago.Is it possible to check the .apk's signature from within the API? If not currently, perhaps Google might add some code to Android itself or to the API to enable LVL to make sure that the.apk signature matches the signature that Android Market already has on file?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a mapping application. In simple terms, it sends some info about the user's current location to a server when the user clicks on a button. I need the location to be absolutely correct, and when I first started to implement LocationListener, I found that it often wasn't. So I've used location.getAccuracy() to check the GPS accuracy, and warn the user - without submitting the data - if the location isn't accurate enough. Code...
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan anyone tell me if and how it is possible to check if the GPS signal is available or not. So not wanting to know if gps is enable or not but if a signal is received. GPSstatus doesn't seem to be about that nor does the onStatusChanged of the LocationListener. At least it doesn't seem to report the signal. What I try to do is display an alert when signal is lost (when driving in a tunnel) and hide the alert as soon as the device is receiving the signal again. So it's not only about the firstFix but every time the signal is lost or back again... Probably not the only person in the world wanting to know this ;-) and it should be possible since the gps icon in the phonedisplay is doing the same.
