View 3 Replies View RelatedI posted this question sort of embedded in the "show us your Droid X screen" but I think it got buried with all the "what is that widget?" questions.I see on some screens the picture widget picture is big. Mine is only about 1 inch by 1/2 inch.I can barely even get 1/2 a face in the picture.How do you get a bigger picture?I'm running LauncherPro, is that effecting it?Since I couldn't get a bigger picture, I decided to try and add the slide show widget. But when I try, it says Widget Conflict only one photo slideshow per home screen. I don't have any other slideshow widgets on my screen. Any ideas?

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.

Studying android developers page. It says that
"App Widgets are miniature application
views that can be embedded in other
applications (such as the Home
screen)"
so, looks like there is a way.

Still nothing, read all details of the above page, but found nothing about how to add a widget to my app.
I'm looking for a call log widget and a voicemail widget which look like the default mail app widget.That is, a simple small widget which show me the number of missed calls (if it's the call log widget) or the number of voicemails received (if it's the voicemail widget), just like the mail widget shows the number of emails received.

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 was thinking it would be easy, but I'm guessing I'll have to "root" both devices. In lieu of that, does anyone know of a Desktop Clock app WITH weather that actually works properly on the Droid X. The one I purchased the other day (and since returned for refund) (from "Apps4Cause") was virtually non-functional.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use some widgets under com.android.internal.widget from my app. I found some basic apps like Settings use those widgets, so I think there is a way to import those widget into my app, but I can't find.
I'm using Eclipse under Windows XP, meaning that I have sdk only. To do the import thing, do I need a linux environment? I mean whole source code?
If I have the source code, how can I do that?
One more question: There are several activities in basic apps, such as ConfirmLockPatterm in settings. I want to use that activity from my app. I mean start that activity from my app. Can I do that? Since that activity doesn't have any intent filter, I guess I have to explicitly specify the name in Intent, but since I can't import any of those activities, it just doesn't work.
