If an app provides multiple widgets, e.g. 1x1, 3x1 etc., does each widget need its own AppWidgetProvider or can they share one?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe configuration seem to allow it, however both widgets show up with the same label in the "widget list". I guess it may be a bad idea to do so as well due to shared space and multiple widgets needing to behave quite differently with different requirements.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIf I create an application for Android, how do you package extra items in with it like a live wallpaper or widgets? For example, google maps does this by including a live wallpaper with the download of the latest version.
On a related note, with google maps, it's available for, I believe, 1.6 and up, but it seems that it is all the same download. So how do you ensure that, even though there may be a 2.x only feature included, it still shows up for lower OS phones? Or is the marketplace maybe actually holding onto two separate APKs for each OS?
I have looked around a couple forums trying to find an app or process that will allow me a way to select a particular group of contacts as a favorites widget. It would be great if I could have my work contacts as one widget on one screen and my personal favorites on another. I also tried to put the work group into the favorites widget without success. I am one of those people that has several different "scenes" customized depending on where i am and what I'm doing. The current widget just doesn't work for what I need. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have used the bettercut app to make shortcuts to individual contacts, but that is not really what I'm looking for.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI understand that widgets can use power; especially the ones that update (news, weather, etc.).
What I'm curious about is when you have launchers like Go Launcher and Launcher Pro Plus. If you have them both, what is happening to the widgets that are on the launcher you're not using (including the stock launcher). Are those widgets drawing power to update, even though you aren't seeing them? Should you delete all widgets, except for the launcher you're currently using?
Anyone know if there is a way to have multiple calendar widgets using google calendar? I would like to have a "work" calendar showing only has the days I work so that when in "month" view that's all that's in view.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to clean up my home screens a little and would like to be able to create one on-screen folder or widget that can hold multiple other widgets for quick access and easy launch. Specifically, I have quite a few ColorNote files that I need quick access too, but don't necessarily want clogging up my home screen. I'm hoping there's something out there - either a folder organizer, launcher, or widget that can do this for me.
I currently use GoLauncher and FolderOrganizer on my SG Note.
I just upgraded my S2 to 4.2 and like the new android lock screen. But to replace widget locker I would like to have an option to have multiple widgets on one lock screen page.
Any app that simply puts multiple widgets into one widget that can be added to the lock screen?
Change log states "Toggle widgets can be skinned".where is the option? I'm sure it's obvious, but I sure can't find it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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).............
Are there design guidelines to help decide if an application with multiple views should be designed with multiple activities or just one activity and control the back button itself.
I've tried both. My most complex applications using one activity per screen. However, now that I'm successfully written an app with just one activity and handling the back button myself, I don't see any compelling reason to use multiple activities. The one activity application is much simpler and more straightforward.
What advantages of multiple activities am I missing?
I'm working on an application using xml layouts.
I wish to know which is better:
1. Use few activities and change its contentview
2. Use an activity for each 'view' needed
If both works, in which case which option would be better?
I'm planning to develop and app that presents the users with several different screens (of different information).
Was wondering what would be the best way to implement this?
Is it better to have separate XML layouts and an activity to display and allow the user to interact with each screen of data?
OR would handling all of these in the same activity be more efficient (and dynamically load / unload each layout)?
I have just got a new Galaxy S. Pressing the Menu key gives me an + button which when pressed gives me the option to add Samsung Widgets and Android Widgets.What're the differences between Samsung Widgets and Android Widgets?

I'm developing a Widget that updates every 10 seconds (android:updatePeriodMillis="10000"). On the 1.5 emulator, as well as on my adp1, it works as expected. On the 1.6 emulator, my widgets are not updated. Apparently, AppWidgetProvider.onUpdate(...) is never called.

I have two - Calendar Pad (1x1) which shows me todays date and when I click it it takes me direct to my week view, and the Power Bar to turn off WiFi, GPS, etc. I've tried things like Face book, Twitter, News, etc, and just get frustrated as they don't really display enough. Maybe I've just not found the RIGHT widgets yet, but I fear I may be missing out on something!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI sent HTC a E-mail regarding them taking it down, and this is what the sent back.I am sorry about any inconvenience that this has caused you. The Beautiful Widgets Application was probably removed from the Android Market because of coding errors. I would suggest contacting the developer of the application. There may be other applications on the Android Market that are similar to this application. HTC does not have control of what is removed from the market. You would need to contact someone from android.com, because they are the developers and they would be the ones to flag programs from the site.
