I've been looking at the new 1.5_pre SDK today, and the new AppWidget API in particular. I was hoping to write a widget for posting to Twitter as part of my nanoTweeter app. The interface I had in mind would look very similar to the Google Search widget, with an EditText and a submit Button, but as far as I can see there's no way to get at user input in a RemoteViews. Is that right, or am I overlooking something?

I have a EditText in android in which i want the user to enter the text and checks for the condition "BYE"
Code sample..
How can i make user to enter the text?The UI should wait for the text to be entered(something like we have InputStreamReader in java applications).
I'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?

I don't want to use a dialog for each one. How can this be done? In the WiFi settings there is one that does this, when you want connect to a protected network, a dialog shows to set a password for the credential storage with 2 fields.

When I load the touch Facebook login page in the webview, I want that the email field to be set to a value and it can't be modified and to accomplish that I have inserted a JavaScript code in the webview disabling that element. All works fine until I want to click the login button because the page refreshes instead of submit the login info. I've noticed that if I don't disable the item, the login button works fine but I don't know why occurs that.
What can be the problem? I've thought another way to make it works: Whenever the user try to modify the email field ignore whatever he do, but I think this is a less professional way to fix that.
I have a custom dialog displayed to input user info (ID). This appears on top of an activity with an 'Done' button, however when the edittext is selected and the soft keyboard appears, the keyboard obscures the Done button at the bottom of the dialog. The documentation / blog posts are a little dry on info specifically for dialogs, what do I need to include to get the dialog to pan up or otherwise?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter using 2.0 from mustymod for few times/days, I have thinking that update to 2.0 maybe not best idea for me.
2.0 from mustymod has better responsive for user's operation, less lag felling. better google apps and later android apps. adyno show around 130ms. But smooth felling may changed after full function come out, since it means more service will running background.
Galaxo that i used till now is little lag while user input. outdated google apps. adyno show around 220ms.
But it can be improved if Drakaz keep updating it with new idea(maybe from xda). and it did have full functions. My daily used apps & data is on it now, and some of them can not running under 2.0. udpate galaxo will keep my data going, no needs to wipe/reset.
My conclusion is, while Drakaz trying to modding 2.0, I wish he can find out why 2.0 is running better on Galaxy and porting it back to Galaxo. My wish is keep Galaxo going till 2.0/2.1 stable & more market apps support it.
I would like to show a custom input field (specifically, one containing only 9-0 and two extra buttons containing decimal separator (, or .) and a delete button). I could create a custom IME, but (as far as I know) that would have to be set by the user as the system-wide input method. Is there a way to implement an input method and bind it to a specific input field?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to debug a problem where my widget becomes invalid and a new one fills in.This only happens once at the beginning of time and then it remains the second widget forever.So, I want to put code in to narrow down the point in time when it happens.Then I would get a list of all the enabled IDs and see if I am in the list. I cannot find a method, member, attribute, etc. that would give me my id?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to query a database and update information in the appwidget screen based on changes to the database done while in an activity so that when the user exits, the changes are reflected in the widget on the screen.The appwidget is being updated with a broadcast from OnPause() and OnStop() in my primary Activity.Relevant pieces of the code are below.The Toast shows me that the data is correctly being pulled when OnUpdate() is called.But the widget refused to change

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a strange problem, on a few devices. I have developed an AppWidget, and it uses a database to store the configuration for each instance of the widget. The widget id is the key in the database.Everything works on most devices, but I got a bug report a couple of days ago. A user said that the widget never worked after reboot. The user who was very helpful sent me a log from his phone, and I could then see that the widget got a new id each time he did a reboot.

Is it possible to launch an app widget from another application.
For example, I have a button in an application. When I click on that button, an appwidget must be launched.
I am trying to update an AppWidget manually when a user setting changes on the device.I can tell that my AppWidget onUpdate method is being called as a result since I log some debug strings to logcat in the code. However the AppWidget itself doesn't change on the screen.Here comes the interesting part: if I rotate my device and force a refresh of the home screen (from PORTRAIT to LANDSCAPE or vice-versa) then finally my AppWidget gets updated. However rotating the device does not trigger the onUpdate method to be called, so the AppWidget must be using the RemoteViews provided in the earlier update. Can somebody explain me what to do to force the home screen redraw of my AppWidget when it processes an update?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wrote a widget that has been working fine for most folks. However, I started getting bug reports about how the widget would be blank on reboot (not receive an update?), and it seemed that the Sprint Hero continually came up. I thought I was crazy but I'm finding that other people are having the same problems:Searching Google for "sprint hero appwidget problems" yields:"Added warning about the problem on the Sprint Hero device: On the Sprint Hero (HTC ROM v1.29.xxx) the AppWidget API is broken in such a way that it won't."I e-mailed the author in hopes of getting an answer, but I haven't received any response. Does anybody with a Sprint Hero know what the problem is?
View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing Appwidgets, If we use TextView in layout provider xml then, we are able to set the text in Provider.java using remoteViews.setTextViewText() method.
Similarly, if I use AnalogClock as AppWidget in xml then, is there any method available to change the android:dial value using RemoteViews or AnalogClock api's in Provider.java ?
For Ex- I need to load two dial png's based on AM or PM.
I'm developing a Android AppWidget for my application. For updating my appwidget I need to download data from network. But when I try to do that in onUpdate method, my appWidget is killed by Android system. I learnt that time consuming operations can't be done in receivers so I launched a service from onUpdate method and launched a thread from that. But still the problem persists.
Can anyone please let me know how to do network operations in Appwidget?
I seem to be having trouble reading preferences from my AppWidgetProvider class. My code works in an Activity, but it does not in an AppWidgetProvider. Here is the code I am using to read back a boolean:
SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, 0);
boolean autoreplyon = settings.getBoolean("autoreplyon", false);
However, I get the "The method getSharedPreferences(String, int) is undefined for the type widget" error (widget is the name of my AppWidgetProvider class).
Is it possible to receive SMS message on appWidget?
I saw android sample source(API Demos).
In API Demos, ExampleAppWidgetProvider class extends AppWidgetProvider, not Activity.
So, I guess it is impossible to regist SMS Receiver like this code...
My goal is to receive SMS message on my custom appWidget.
The documentation hints that: "...the lock screen could also contain widgets, and it would have a different way of adding, removing and otherwise managing widgets." [1]
Now that I have 1.5, I can see the lock screen changed to show the same background as the home screen. Is there a way to put AppWidgets on the lock screen in 1.5?
