If there is an easy way to strike text within an app widget in Android. In a normal activity, it is pretty easy, using textview flags:
textView.setPaintFlags(textView.getPaintFlags() | Paint.STRIKE_THRU_TEXT_FLAG);
But since in an app widget, I can use only remoteviews... I do not know if this is possible

Is it possible to have strike through text in widget? the setFlags method is not available in the RemoteViews method?Is there any other way to accomplish this?
This was the only link which i found on strike through textView.

I am trying to populate the text of a second EditText widget with the text from the first EditText widget only when the second EditText widget receives focus, the second widget is not empty, and the first widget is not empty. When I run it and click into the second widget it does not populate. When I remove the third constraint ('etxt.getText ().toString().trim() == ""')) it works. so getText() on the second EditText widget is returning something even though the second widget has no initial value other then the text that is displayed via the hint attribute.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a text widget that can access a text file that is located on my phone or dropbox and display the contents of the file. It should always update itself as soon as there is a change in the text file. Does an app like this exist and where can I find it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an app with a widget but I am having some difficulty with the layout of the widget. The basic idea if the widget should look like an icon and have a little text tag under it like any other icon on the desktop.
I found one example which uses an android:background for the TextView and uses a drawable XML:
CODE:...........
However this does not work brilliantly, the text just isn't the same as the other icons on the desktop and when you rotate the phone part of the text is chopped off!
The next problem is selecting the widget, I use an ImageButton as the icon - with the android:background set to a transparent image. I have been using another drawable xml file which allows me to change the image when the widget is selected. However I would prefer the default action of an icon, where the square around the icon turns orange.
How would I achive these two effect - I know it is possible somehow as the app "sms unread count" achives exactly what I want to happen!
I have 2 questions about widgets update
I have 2 buttons and i need to change one button text when i press the other one, how can i do this?
The first time i open the widget it calls the onUpdate method, but it never calls it again. I need to update the widget every 2 seconds and i have this line in the xml.
android:updatePeriodMillis="2000"
Do i need a service or should it works just with the updatePeriodMillis tag?
onUpdate method

I have created a widget to display some long text. I want this text to have "marquee" effect . I've already set TextView propertie ellipsize="marquee" but it doesn't works . For example Stocks widget of HTC
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to create an incredibly simple widget that changes the text displayed every 5s or so. However I've had major headaches attempting to get this to work. Obviously I can't use the onUpdate call as it's a minimum of every 30min. Currently my solution uses an Timer in an extended Service class, which is as ugly as hell and tends to run like a dog after a while. Is there a "clean" way of doing this, ie. in a manner that doesn't require a Widget, UpdateService, Timers etc.

Does anyone know of a simple, text only battery status widget? I am working on making a very clean minimalistic LauncherPRO UI, and would like to find a text only, transparent battery status widget.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make an android widget like the Google Voice Widget where users can go through an array of Strings which is retreived from the SQLite database.

The variable is always returned as zero though.

why the everything (date, city, weather, temperature, weather icon) under the clock on my beautiful widgets' home widget is shifted down a bit causing everything to fall off of the skin and not align properly? This has happened to all the skins / icons combinations I have tried. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but alas the problem still remains.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I'm looking for an app, much in line with overskreen, or air terminal in it's execution, but all it needs to do is let me take notes in it, a tabbed interface would be great, and ability to save would also be great, but honestly I don't even need that. Just need a simple floating window that allows me to type some quick notes in it. Or paste some text in there so I can view it from another app.
I could probably use overskreen for this, but it just seems like overkill to have a floating browser as a text pad. I didn't find any on the Store, but I did find an app called "Floating Widgets" ( or something very similar to that name ) which basically allows you to take most widgets and make them 'stay on top' ( ie. float ). This would work great I'm thinking with a note widget for memos. The only problem is all the memo widgets I saw and tried( free ones anyways ) didn't seem to allow direct typing in the widget, they opened some kind of editor and then saved to the widget when you exited. This defeats the reason of having a floating memo widget lol.
An existing widget that does this, floats, etc... B.) A normal widget that allows direct typing in the widget itself instead of opening some kind of proxy app? or C.) Some other solution other than using a browser?
I am using ICS with Nova Launcher.I miss the old bookmark widget in Launcher Pro Plus, I used it in text only mode with a transparent skin and it looked good.
The bookmark widget that comes in ICS is ok but I want something with just a scrollable list of the bookmark names. I have looked at a few different apps on the market and they are mostly thumbnails of the webpage.
All my other phones had banners on top of the screens that you could edit the text. i miss this and is there a way to get this back cuz it doesn't exist on the droid. or is there an app where i can input a widget that is a text box?

View 1 Replies View Relatedso I am using Nova launcher and minimalistic text widget and I am making a theme where there are big blocks of clickable text. One of the things I would like to do is to open a app folder when i click on one of the text blocks. I was thinking I could just make a transparent widget or something above minimalistic text widget because it does not look like there is a way to do that with the app. Is there a way to resize folders with nova launcher? am I better off just using something like Simi folder and setting a big name for the folder and no icon or something?

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.
