Android :: Launch Widget Configuration After Put That On Screen?

Sep 26, 2010

My widget launches a configuration screen when chosen to be put on screen. That works fine.
I wanted to be able to touch a part of the widget to return to that configuration screen.
I have created 2 pending intents in my widget's service but only one works. The code is below...

For the life of me i cannot understand how i can launch again the configuration activity.

Android :: Trying To Launch Activity / When Home Screen Widget Is Pressed

Dec 20, 2009

I'm trying to do something which really ought to be quite easy, but it's driving me crazy. I'm trying to launch an activity when a home screen widget is pressed, such as a configuration activity for the widget. I think I've followed word for word the tutorial on the Android Developers website, and even a few unofficial tutorials as well, but I must be missing something important as it doesn't work.

Android :: Launch Activity From Droid Home Screen Widget

Apr 24, 2010

I am desperately trying to get my head wrapped around how to implement home screen widgets. Right now, I (finally) was able to get a button on my widget respond to a button press setting up an intent filter in the manifest.

However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to launch an activity when the button is pressed. Basically, here's the code i have...

What I really want to do, though, is start a new activity, not display a toast message. I know it has something to do with pending intents, but I can't figure out how to get that to work.

Android :: How To Launch An Activity From A Widget And Return To Home Screen

Sep 14, 2010

I have a widget that when clicked opens an activity from same app as the widget. When the activity is closed/dismissed via a button, the user will see the full app window IF the app was previously open/in memory. Is there a way for the activity to finish and return to the home screen and not to an existing instance of the app?

Intent i = new Intent(this,RateIt.class);
i.putExtra("com.sporadicsoftware.NetQ.movie_id",aMovie.title_id);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
0, i, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.movie_one_title, pendingIntent);

Android :: Add Widget Configuration Activity To Launcher?

Oct 17, 2010

I have a widget with a configuration activity.

Currently the configuration launches when you click on the widget.

I want to add the configuration as an app icon to the launcher.

The problem is that when the configuration launches on click, I get a specific widget id , so each widget instance can have a different configuration.

What will happen if I start the activity from the launcher?

I wont be able to show multiple configurations on the same activity.

Android :: Widget Configuration Activity - Update Request

Sep 18, 2010

I'm having an issue with a config activity for a widget. According to the dev docs, if I specify a configuration activity than the onUpdate method of the AppWidgetProvider doesn't get called until after you request an update once you've completed the configuration activity. For me its happening in reverse, the onUpdate method of the AppWidgetProvider gets called first, followed by the configuration activity. Then the onUpdate method is never called after completion of the config activity even though I request it explicitly. I tried with level 4 and level 7 API, same result. Here is some of the source:

Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.chris.android.swidget"
android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/app_icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".SWidgetConfigure">
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE" />
</intent-filter> </activity>
<receiver android:name=".SWidgetProvider" android:label="@string/ widget_name">
<meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/swidget_info"/> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
</intent-filter> </receiver>
<service android:name=".service.PUpdateService" />
</application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

</manifest>
swidget_info.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <appwidget-provider
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:minWidth="294dp" android:minHeight="72dp"
android:updatePeriodMillis="86400000"
android:initialLayout="@layout/swidget_layout"
android:configure="com.chris.android.swidget.SWidgetConfigure" >
</appwidget-provider>

I can include source of the onUpdate method from the AppWidgetProvider activity and the onCreate method of the configuration activity if necessary, but they are both being called find its just the order they show up on the emulator is wrong.

Android :: Where To Store Widget's Preferences On Configuration Page On Droid?

Aug 31, 2010

I think that it would be too complex to open a database. Does using shared preferences make my app's data size become big. Is there a temporary storage place for my data or should I delete the data in the shared preferences for that widget.

Android :: Widget Does Not Load Orientation Changes During Configuration / Submit A Bug Report?

Jul 12, 2009

I'd like to report a bug we just found while writing a widget.

Summary: There is a widget installed, that defines a configuration activity. If the user changes the orientation while they are in the configuration activity, and they finish that activity in a different orientation that they started, the widget does NOT appear in the home screen after the configuration is done.

How to reproduce: have a minimal widget, with a configuration activity that contains a button, which correctly updates the App Widget when it is clicked (as explained in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Confi...). Add a new instance of the widget, so the config screen shows up. Change the orientation once. Click on the button. Your widget does not appear in the home screen. (Ouch.)

If this has already been reported, or if there's a better way to submit a bug report.

General :: Screen Orientation Configuration?

Nov 8, 2012

I have an Emgeton 7 inch tablet for which I'm trying out some different ICS ROMs on. The best ROM I have found so far has one issue: The screen orientation is 90 degrees out. The accelerometer actually works but it is set to 90 degrees "ahead"

How and where is the default settings for the accelerometer set and is it possible to change it without a re-compile? Would I be able to use anything from the stock ICS firmware to fix it?

Android :: Widget Developer Tired Of Doesn't Launch Comments

Jun 3, 2009

About one-fourth of comments for my widget on the market are "Doesn't launch" with 1-star rating. Are you guys having the same problem? I've already included the instructions at the top of app's description but doesn't help. Here are the solutions I'm thinking about but don't know how to implement them yet.

1. Having a default activity showing a help page. But this would clutter the app tray with another useless app icon. Can I hide the app icon from launcher after first launch?

2. Launch widget picker activity from the market open button. But this doesn't tell users how to add widgets later on. Is it possible to set AndroidManifest.xml to open widget picker as default activity?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Save Home Screen Configuration When Switching To LauncherPro?

Nov 16, 2010

I've downloaded Launcher Pro, I currently still have ADW installed as well. When I use LauncherPro my home screen (and other screens) are not set up the way I currently have them. I spent a lot of time setting my current screens so they are exactly the way I want them. Any way to save that config when switching to LauncherPro? It does seem faster so I want to give it a shot, but I'm dreadig setting everything up again- widgets, apps, etc.

Android :: Launch The Same Activity From Widget With Different Extras - Prevent Same Instance Show Up After Returned From HOME Button?

Nov 5, 2010

I have a widget that contains 4 buttons to show 4 stock prices, each of them will launch into the same activity Quote.class to show stock details. In onUpdate(), it will set up the pendingIntent with extras with stock symbol. After I hit button A, it goes to Quote activity that shows stock A. Then I hit the BACK button to the homescreen, Quote activity calls onDestroy() and when I hit button B, stock B will show properly. However, when i hit HOME button after it shows stock A, the Quote activity only calls onStop without calling onDestroy(), then as i hit button B, it will call onStart() and it shows the same instance that shows stock A.

CODE:............

Originally I thought adding a flag in the Intent should solve this problem. But I have tried
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_MULTIPLE_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY), none of them makes any difference.

So is there any ways to make it work? How can i remove the history stack from HOME button? How can I call onCreate in Quote activity and get new extras when i hit button B?

Android :: App To Launch Screen Lock While In Call?

Oct 26, 2010

Anytime I get in a call and hold the phone to my ear with my should, I start hitting buttons like Mute, Add Call, End Call, etc. I've already been through 3 replacement devices, and all 3 have the issue.

I learned last night (after fighting with a tech at version for 2 hours) that the issue is really just a design flaw by Motorola. If you make an out going call, and then cover the light sensor with your hand (while the phone is vertical), all works great. If you keep the sensor covered and start laying the phone on it's back, eventually the screen will unlock. Doesn't happen every time, only about 80% of the time.

Needless to say, Verzion told me that because that's how Motorola designed it I'm stuck having to deal with it. So now I'm trying to find an app that can lock my screen while I'm in a call. I have bought Screen Suite but it really does way too much for me (plus, I hate the lock screen on it). I much prefer the default lock screen.

Does an app exist that can launch the stock lock screen while in a call? If not does anyone know if the SDK even provides the means to launch the lock screen? Because if so I may have to resort to writing my own app for it.

Android :: Home Screen Widget Size In Normal Screen And Largest Screen

Mar 31, 2010

I am designing a home screen widget. I ran this widget on a HTC Hero device, which has a screen of 320 pixels * 480 pixels with mdpi. It ran perfect on HTC Hero. The widget takes 3 cells * 2 cells space, i.e. 240 pixels * 200 pixels.Then I ran this widget on a Nexus One device, which has a screen of 480 pixels * 800 pixels, mdpi. Since Nexus One also is mdpi, so I though 240dip is equivalent to 240 pixels on Nexus One and 200dip is equivalent to 200 pixels on Nexus One, so the widget will not take 3 cells * 2 cells space on Nexus One device. To my surprise, when running on Nexus One device, the widget take exact 3 cells * 2 cells, about 360 pixels * 300 pixels, on Nexus One device.I am confused. The layout xml above specifies 240dip in width and 200dip in height for the widget, but why did it take 360 pixels * 300 pixels on Nexus One Device? What am I missing?
