is it possible to show widget only for a certain android version?

Question

is it possible to show widget in \"Add to home screen > Widgets\" Dialog only for a certain android version without uploading two APKs and assigning to proper SDK version nu

Answer 1

You can do it with the componentEnableSetting. Just disable the widget you don't want to have listed. The change will get active after phone-restart.

Context context = getApplicationContext();
String str1 = "org.classname.to.widget.provider";
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context, str1);
PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();

int versioncode = Integer.valueOf(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK);    

//enable widget
packageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName, 1, 1);

//disable widget
packageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName, 2, 1);
