Android :: How To Put Multiple Widget Sizes In One APK?
Jul 31, 2010What I'm trying to do is have a clock widget of different sizes (i.e. 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 etc) in one apk and a configuration activity to be able to select which size to add. From what I've learned from documentation:
Widget size is specified in <appwidget-provider> tag in respective xml file
Also in that file I set up the configuration activity for that provider
So it seems that size is a property of AppWidgetProvider and I'll need to somehow create another provider from the code in configuration Activity of the first one. I have read this and this. First one explains how to put multiple wigets in one apk, but it's not clear how to select between them in runtime. Second one is about changing layouts, but not size.
Android :: Determining Image Sizes For Multiple Android Screen Sizes - Densities
Apr 22, 2010I've been reviewing the Supporting Multiple Screens documentation on the Android and I just need some additional clarification...
It's my understanding that designing three unique interfaces (ldpi, mdpi, and hdpi) would be the best way to go about supporting all the potential android screens with minimal scaling/distortion.
Yes, I know there are similar questions posted, however... If I create an image for the benchmark mdpi (let's say my image is 300x210, just for example) how to I determine what size I will need to recreate that image at ldpi & hdpi? This post as well as a google search leads me to believe that ldpi is just 75% of the mdpi image, and the hdpi is 150% of the mdpi image. Is this accurate?

Android :: AppWidget - User Can Select Multiple Sizes
Aug 9, 2010I'm looking at creating an AppWidget and want to have the user select which size they want before adding it. Thus, the user can choose 1x1, 2x2, etc. The Calendar widget in Android 2.2 (and possibly earlier, but not in 1.6) does this. How is this done?
View 11 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Layout Issues For Multiple Screen Sizes / API Versions
Jan 19, 2010I am currently trying to make my app compliant with all screen sizes / api levels. I have this mostly working, however there is 1 issue i cannot resolve: Layouts in the "layout-hdpi" folder are used by and any phone on 1.5 (API level 3). - Which i dont want, i want API level 3 phones to use the "layout" folder. So to resolve this I added "-v4" onto the folder also, this works, the folder is no longer used by 1.5 phones. However, now the folder is also not used on API Level 6 phones, for example the droid. The droid only picks up the folder if i name the folder: "layout-hdpi-v6". (Also if i put "-v3" on a folder, the layout folder is not used by API level 4 phones) My understanding is that the -v<api level> qualifer allows you to exclude phones on an API level that is too low, so -v4 should mean that the folder will be used by all phones on API level 4 and above. I am finding a folder is only used for that specific API level. Has anybody else ran into this same issue? And does anybody know of any possible solutions?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Supporting Multiple Screen Sizes Using Image Buttons
Apr 13, 2010I've read the Android documentation:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
but still have some questions. I'm trying to design a music application which basically has images of the instrument (ImageButton) that play a sound when clicked. However, I'm confused about how to have the ImageButtons scale to fit all the different screen sizes and how to position them.
Which layout is best used for needing to position ImageButtons in specific locations on the screen? (i.e. cymbals on a drum set) FrameLayout, RelativeLayout? If I only really care about medium and large screens, do I need to create different resources (images) for both as well as a different XML layout to position them? I'm trying to find the simplest way to do this without having to create a separate layout XML file for positioning/size and separate image resources for each screen.
Android :: How To Deal With Application Widget Having Variable Sizes?
Apr 24, 2009I want to create an app widget that could take up a different number of "cells" on the home screen, but I don't think that the app widget framework easily supports this. I know that an app widget can have a configuration screen, and I'd like the user to be able select a sort of small, medium, or large size for the widget as part of my configuration activity. Unfortunately, I don't think that this is possible, correct? Based on the minWidth and minHeight properties, the Launcher app will assign a number of cells that I can't configure at run time.
For instance, if I want a weather widget that has a current, hourly and weekly format that take up 1, 2, and 4 cells respectively, I can't do this at run time. Instead, I believe my only option is to export 3 different widgets and have them all listed in the widget picker dialog as something like "Weather - current conditions", "Weather - hourly forcast", and "Weather - week long forcast".

Android :: Android Multiple Screen Sizes With Same Density
Apr 14, 2010I'm confused regarding the densities. I see that with medium density, the screen resolution could be either 320x480, 480x800, or 480x854. So if I have an image thats 300px wide in the mdpi folder, how is it going to look the same size on all 3 different screen sizes (mainly 320x480 vs the other 2)? And by look the same size, I mean scale to be bigger or smaller depending upon the screen size.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Implement Multiple Views That React To OnTouch?
Oct 10, 2010Let's say I have MyActivity and inside my onCreate method I initialize MyBackgroundView, then MyPlayer1View then MyPlayer2View. I want to be able to touch the screen, figure out if I have touched Player1 or Player2 and then respond with changes to the players if I have touched them.
My problem is, where do I put the onTouchListener? Can only MyBackgroundView listen for touches, or can the players listen for touches too? If MyBackgroundView can only accept touches, do I need to call view.ontouchlistener that says, you have touched me, and I have a player at those coordinates, so I'll pass the motion event to the player and let it handle it? Or do call view.ontouchlistener in each of the players that says, you've touched me, now I will react to the motion event?

May 6, 2009I try to create a widget and I am now wondering how to be able to put a button on my widget and set its "onClickListener". It seems that we are limited to the RemoteViews... OK I can deal with that (but this is a limitat to me) but I'd like to add a button where the user can request an update on the data displayed in the widget. (I get some info on the web but the user only needs to request an update, I can't defined an automatique update, it's useless for my app) I'm sure we can do that since there is an example with a player and obviously with a PLAY/PAUSE button. I was looking for in the remoteViews API btu without finding anything.

Sep 20, 2010I would like to implement a time settings wheel widget like the one iPhone has (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/art/ui_datetimepicker.jpg). Should I use GlSurfaceView or just extend View? Should I make it as a compound View (it would consist of several Views) or draw everything on the Canvas in onDraw? In case I won't extend GlSurfaceView, how to do (smooth) animations? Start a Thread and call postInvalidate()?

Android :: Need Twitter App - View Multiple Accounts From Widget?
Jul 22, 2010I am looking for a Twitter client for Android that can ...
1. Handle multiple accounts
2. Display multiple accounts on the widget

HTC Incredible :: Run Multiple Instances Of Calendar Widget?
May 3, 2010OK, here goes my first post.
I have the calendar syncing with my gmail calendar, which has multiple calendars inside (mine, my wifes, ours, baseball schedule, cavs schedule, etc..)
I also have the stock "mail" (not Gmail) application syncing with my exchange at work.
Since I got 7 home screens to work with, I wanna put my Gmail calendar on home screen #1, and my exchange calendar on home-screen #7. Sort of a seperation of home and work
So I put the stock widget on home-screen#1, and again on home-screen#7. But a widget is basically just a frontend for an app running in the background. When I go to home-screen#1 and select MINE, WIFES, and CAVS.......that selection affects the widget on home-screen #7 as well. I go to screen #7, tell it to display Exchange only.......and when I go back to #1, it is switched to exchange.
So.....any way to do what I want?
1) Have a calendar on home-screen#1 that shows my Gmail calendar(s)
2) Have a calendar on home-screen#7 that shows my Exchange calendar
