Android :: Embed An App Widget In An Activity?

Mar 19, 2010

I want to embed the analog clock in my application.

I use <AnalogClock android:layout_width="wrap_content" :layout_height="wrap_content" /> in my layout XML file, but the clock's appearance is different from the one added in Home screen.

But I want to know is there a way to directly reference the resource in the AnalogClock?

Android :: App Widget Configure Activity Opens Main Activity

Jan 10, 2010

I hav an app that is like a relational database. There is a main app activity that users manage things with. There is also a widget that will display important info and add data to the database. When the widget is clicked, a configure class displays a way for the user to edit data. When the configure activity is done, the widget is updated and instead of going back to the home screen, the apps main activity is started. I can't find where the main activity is being called from. Wouldn't I have to create an intent and start Activity() to get this behavior? When done updating, I want the home screen and not my app.

Android :: How To Embed YouTube Clip In Web View?

Aug 11, 2010

Can anyone shed any light on why I'm unable to click and play a youtube clip on an Android handset when placed inside a webview?I've put a very simple app together (it's being extended, but no right away) and it has a web view assigned using the Android SDK.The rest of the webview works as expected (text, images, css etc), however, the YouTube clips will not show, they just show as black or white rectangles (where the video embed should be).We use the same view to display content on the iPhone app equivalent, without any issues.This is using a basic flash embed, the Safari browser on iPhone converts these to H.264 and plays them nicely in QuickTime.Can Android do the same?

Android :: Use Webview To Embed Web App In A Native Droid App?

Aug 19, 2010

I have a fully-working web app that is accessible using Android's browser.
The annoying part is the url bar uses a lot of the screen. Is there a way to make this web app a native Android app? I've read that webview can be used to embed a web site within the Android App.

Unfortunately, I only know web programming languages and have no Java experience. Will I still be able to do this on my own?

Android :: How To Embed A Database In .apk Of A Distributed Application [droid]

Jun 10, 2010

My question is I think quite simple but I don't think the answer will be...
I have quite a lot of content to have in my application to make it run properly, and I'm thinking of putting all of it in a database, and distribute it in an embedded database with the application in the market.
The only trouble is that I have no idea of how to do that.
I know that I can extract a file .db from Eclipse DDMS with the content of my database, and I suppose I need to put it in the asset folder of my application, but then how to make the application use it to regenerate the application database?

Android :: Call Activity From Widget?

May 30, 2009

I've read through the Application Fundamentals three times today (and I had done so before), but I still can't quite wrap my ahead around the task concept. Or I guess I thought I understood it, but usually, the results I am seeing don't match up to what I would expect to happen (maybe a tool to see the current tasks/activities etc. for debugging purposes would be a nice addition).

I have multiple widgets from my provider in the Launcher desktop, and each is using a PendingIntent with a different URI as data (so they should be separate intents) to open an Activity.

I want there to be only once concurrent instance of this Activity that the user can access. So clicking the widget (1) , pressing HOME (2), clicking a different widget (3), pressing BACK (4) should bring the user back to the Desktop.

Now I did manage to do this using launchMode="singleTask" - the existing instance is brought to the top, onNewIntent() is called and I am pretty satisfied with it.

However, supposedly there are other ways to achieve an equivalent effect (say with having the activity restarted), and I'd like to understand why I don't seem to be able to get them to work: In every case, instead of seeing the home screen after step (4) (after pressing BACK), I see the *previous* instance of the Activity.

For example, if I read this correctly:

"There's another way to force activities to be removed from the stack. If an Intent object includes the FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP flag, and the target task already has an instance of the type of activity that should handle the intent in its stack, all activities above that instance are cleared away so that it stands at the top of the stack and can respond to the intent. If the launch mode of the designated activity is "standard", it too will be removed from the stack, and a new instance will be launched to handle the incoming intent." http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html

Then simply using using the following code to start my Activity from my widget should do what I want, no?

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

So in (3) My activity should be launched using FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK by the launcher, which due to process affinity would find the existing task (which would consist of a single instance of my Activity), and launch the new instance on top of it. This explains what I am seeing. Why doesn't FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP cause the existing instance in the task to be replaced?

Even setting android:launchMode explicitely to "standard", as mentioned in the doc quote above, this doesn't seem to change things.

I also tried android:finishOnTaskLaunch="true", but the behaviour is the exact same was just described with FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP (which seems to be the exact same as when doing neither and really starting an activity without any special attributes).

I should mention that If I click the same widget in (3) as I clicked in (1), i.e. using the same PendingIntent twice, I do get the previous instance brought to the front (not restarted), but again, regardless of whether FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP or finishOnTaskLaunch are being used.

I find this especially strange since the docs about tasks don't seem to mention the intent itself being relevant at all. Application Fundamentals does at one point say "For the default "standard" mode, a new instance is created to respond to every new intent", but it's not clear what "new intent" means then. Is triggering a PendingIntent multiple times through a widget not multiple "new" intents then?

I also tried various combinations of the other related options, but pretty much got nowhere.

Android :: Update A Widget From An Activity?

Sep 22, 2009

I have been looking for a way to update a widget asynchronously, for example, when the phone receives a text message. I have a broadcast receiver set up with code that runs upon receiving a message. I also have an AppWidgetProvider that is set up and running. It seems like the *only* way a widget can be updated is upon its interval, or when the user interacts with it. Is there any way to update a widget upon a system event?

Android :: Update Widget From Activity

Nov 1, 2010

I have a widget, its setup so that when I click on it, it opens some settings in an activity.

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

This configures some settings for the application. What I want to achieve is to have the widget update its view to reflect the changed settings when the Activity I launch closes. Using the update interval or any other type of polling isn't appropriate for this.

I've seen a couple places here and in the android docs this code used:

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

But I don't know how to get the mAppWidgetId value. I tried following the example for a widget configuration activity here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html, but in the following code,

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

Extras is always null, so I never get the AppWidgetID.

Android :: Launching An Activity From Widget Click

May 19, 2009

I am working my way through oh my first widget (so this is 1.5, obviously) and I'm stuck. I've poked around a problem involving the launch of an Activity when clicking on a widget. Scenario: User drags widget on home screen without prior launch of the Activity in question. I am following this post: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-home-scree... Instead of launching the browser through ACTION_VIEW, I am trying to launch an Activity by class. I've toyed around with different Intent settings, but no luck.

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.

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