Code like this works well. Intent configIntent = new Intent (context, WidgetConfigActivity.class); configIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId); PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, configIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btn, pIntent); But I want to hide that button befor activity will appear, so I'm triing to send intent to the widget itself, perform hiding components in onReceive() method and then start activity. Problem is that I can't use startActivity() function in AppWidget. Is there

I have an AppWidgetProvider, and I need to do some initialization when a widget is first added to the home screen. I understand that the place to do it is in the onEnabled(Context context) method. My Problem is that this method is never called (As far as I can see in the logcat). Here is my code: public class MyMonitorWidget extends AppWidgetProvider{ @Override public void onEnabled(Context context) { super.onEnabled(context); Log.v("LOG", "Widget onEnabled"); Intent intentToFire = new Intent(UpdateAlarmReceiver.ACTION_UPDATE_ALARM); context.sendBroadcast(intentToFire); } ... } And my

I am using AlarmManager to update my widgets. And I want to stop it if there is no widget on homescreen. But I am facing a problem with detecting if there is no widget on home screen. As whenever I try to get the AppWidgetIds using this way: AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); int[] appWidgetIDs = appWidgetManager .getAppWidgetIds(new ComponentName(context, Widget.class)); I get the a length of appWidgetIDs while actually there is no widget on homescreen. Why? Therefore, I would like to know if there is a way to detect that a widget id is exists on

I respond to a button press on my appwidget in the onreceive method. When the button I pressed, I want to force the widget to call the onupdate method. How do I accomplish this? Thanks in advance! Fedor Widget can't actually respond to clicks because it's not a separate process running. But it can start service to process your command: public class TestWidget extends AppWidgetProvider { public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { final int N = appWidgetIds.length; // Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider

As far as I have read in the Internet and official documentation, it isn't possible to make a scrollable app widget. Also all my tries failed. I even tried to subclass TextView to implement my own scroll method, but nothing worked. Are there any ways to achieve that? Btw.... there are solutions if you use for example htc sense or home desktop ++, but i want to make it available to other users which don't use this Are there any ways to achieve that? Not directly. You can always add buttons to rotate you through various options. But true scrolling is not possible. Romain Guy HTC provides

I have an AppWidget with 2 pending intents. They work most of the time, but after a while they stop responding. Only thing I have been able to pinpoint is that they are crippled after a Launcher restart, i.e. I use Launcher Pro, and sometimes fiddle with settings and have to restart it. After that they don't work at all. Here are my onRecieve() and onUpdate() methods: public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { super.onReceive(context, intent); String action = intent.getAction(); if(action.equals("android.tristan.widget.digiclock.CLICK")) { PackageManager packageManager = context
