android-appwidget

I've written an AppWidget that displays some data in a ListView from a ContentProvider, but I have trouble having it update. When I first create the widget it gets populated correctly, but after the AlarmManager's PendingIntent arrives, no updates occurs on the ListView. Here's the code: Intent update = new Intent(context, MenuWidgetProvider.class); update.setAction(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE); update.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS, appWidgetIds); PendingIntent pIUpdate = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, update, 0); ((AlarmManager) context.getSystemService

I'm trying to get a list of all ACTIVE instances of my widget. In the OnUpdate method of my AppWidgetProvider, I'm doing the following: // Get all ids ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(context, this.getClass()); int[] lastWidgetIds = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(thisWidget); The problem is that if you add a widget to your homescreen and then delete it, getAppWidgetIds still returns a list containing among others the id of the widget you just deleted. Is there a way to retrieve the ids of only the widgets that are active on the homescreen? I ran into this as well. I'm guessing

So, I am dynamically creating an image within my app by animating various Views that I display to the user in the main layout of my application. Currently I am generating my scene within a RelativeLayout, taking the image of the layout as a bitmap, then saving the bitmap to SD to be accessed by the appwidget via uri. This is all working great, but... in an attmept to create rounded corners for the appwidget image, i've tried using these two snippets that I found here. My Problem: is that this method generates a drawable (whose rounded corners look perfect if displayed as a drawable) but I need

So far i have coded: public class WidgetActivity extends AppWidgetProvider { public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { String action = intent.getAction(); if (AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE.equals(action)) { RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_activity); Intent settingsIntent = new Intent(context, Info.class); PendingIntent clickPendIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity (context, 0, settingsIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.Widget, clickPendIntent); AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context)

I am having an unexpected bothering issue with a remote listview. My app has a simple widget which includes a listview. If the listview has 1 cell height and the listview is at the beginning of its scroll it blinks/flahses everytime datasetchanged is called. The funny thing is that if the listview has more than 1 cell height or if it has 1 cell height BUT it has been scrolled down a bit it doesnt blink. Could anybody please provide some suggestion? I am frustrated. Solutions I have thought so far: 1. Disable loading view (which is what is causing the flash) on the remoteViewFactory. However I
