I have no clue how to go about creating my own widgets.I need to know where to start ?
Is it possible to create multiple widgets in runtime? Application (Activity) should generate in some cases new widget(or edit exist) with new name and label and do some primitive action on click, which should be available in desktop widgets menu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to clean up my home screens a little and would like to be able to create one on-screen folder or widget that can hold multiple other widgets for quick access and easy launch. Specifically, I have quite a few ColorNote files that I need quick access too, but don't necessarily want clogging up my home screen. I'm hoping there's something out there - either a folder organizer, launcher, or widget that can do this for me.
I currently use GoLauncher and FolderOrganizer on my SG Note.
Change log states "Toggle widgets can be skinned".where is the option? I'm sure it's obvious, but I sure can't find it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Android application development and I'm currently experimenting with various UI ideas. In the image below, you can see a vertically scrolling list of horizontally scrolling galleries (and also textviews as you can see). I'm also doing some matrix and camera transformations which I will come to in a minute.
For the background of the list elements, I use green. Blue is the background of the galleries, and red is the background for the images. These are just for my benefit of learning.
The galleries being used are extended classes where I overrode the drawChild method to perform a canvas scale operation in order for the image closest to the center (width) to be larger than the others. The list view going vertically, I overrode the drawChild method and used the camera rotations from lack of depth dimension in the canvas functionality. The items in the list are scaled down and rotated relative to their position's proximity to the center (height).............

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo is there a way to get the HTC widgets onto any ROM? I really love the HTC widgets (that's why I bot the Eris), so I have a hard time straying from the Ivan ROM due to Sense. Is there a way to get the Sense widgets but use another ROM, like maybe an HTCwidgets.apk or something like that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm building a layout where the user has to enter a lot of personal data, like full name, birth date, birth place, weight, sex, etc.. I'm using EditText widgets for capturing that information using the layout editor in Eclipse.
The issue I'm having is that after 4 or 5 EditText widgets I don't have any space left in the layout to drag and drop more widgets. I tried adding them manually in the xml view, but when I run the layout, I get a lot of them overlapped in the last row of the screen. I tried adding them to a ScrollView, but I had the same result. I can't find a way to continue adding widgets with the possibility to scroll down the screen so they can all fit in a single layout.
In Java Swing programming this is a trivial thing, so I don't think it's too complicated in Android development.
I just started playing around with Launcher Pro and ADW this morning. Is there a guide to customize them with different widgets and such? I like the look better than SENSE, but I don't know where to DL widgets and whatnot.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just installed BW along with launcherpro...and while I do enjoy launcherpro, BW sucks because the weather is like 20 degrees off and no matter what I do, it stays that way. Basically, nothing I've seen is better than HTC Sense weather clock.Are there any GOOD alternatives to BW that includes a clock and weather animations or at least a good weather/clock combination?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving seen so many people posting images of their home screens, I have come to the conclusion that I must be the only person to hardly use widgets! I have two - Calendar Pad (1x1) which shows me todays date and when I click it it takes me direct to my week view, and the Power Bar to turn off WiFi, GPS, etc. I've tried things like Face book, Twitter, News, etc, and just get frustrated as they don't really display enough. Maybe I've just not found the RIGHT widgets yet, but I fear I may be missing out on something!

I'd also like some good games (racing, action, puzzle etc.) and anything else you think may be good. Also, is there a program to use the flash next to the camera as a flashlight? I think this would be really handy.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI sent HTC a E-mail regarding them taking it down, and this is what the sent back.I am sorry about any inconvenience that this has caused you. The Beautiful Widgets Application was probably removed from the Android Market because of coding errors. I would suggest contacting the developer of the application. There may be other applications on the Android Market that are similar to this application. HTC does not have control of what is removed from the market. You would need to contact someone from android.com, because they are the developers and they would be the ones to flag programs from the site.
