I am looking to create an android widget for my application. It is a static widget, meaning it does not periodically update itself with new data (like google search widget)? If that is the case, do I still need to create a service like the Word Widget sample in the android sdk?

I need to create something like a JTree for my app and have been looking at ExpandableListView, but it only allows two levels. Does anyone know if it's possible to extend this to an arbitrary number of levels? I need a single top level and, below that, several second levels, each of which may contain their own levels. I would expect that one could set a second-level (child) item to be an ExpandableListView of it's own, but it doesn't seem possible. Thanks for any help on this, as it's holding up my entire project.
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);................

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to create a widget and the program on the same app so that i can give the user the choice to add to the home screen either the dynamic widget or the normal program, same functionality for both except that the widget would run a service to update every x hours and the program won't. Similar to what "bbc news" and "weather bug" have done. I am guessing that something needs to be added to the manifest but i have not found any documentation for it. Can anyone help on this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn ApiDemo, there is a progressBar demo. It creates a horizontal progress bar with a xml.
<ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progress_horizontal" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_width="200dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:max="100" android:progress="50" android:secondaryProgress="75" />
But how to create one programmatically? If just new ProgressBar(fContext), it is Default ProgressBar style.
I tried out Flyscreen the other day and found its card-based flipping through rss/facebook/twitter/weather to be very fluid and pretty. The trouble is, I don't really want that as my lockscreen (besides which, it doesn't seem to truly lock the screen). Does anyone know of a similar app that creates a widget I can flip through in a similar way on a homescreen?
