I created a widget (HelloWidget.java), an activity for it (MainActivity.java) and a listpreference (EditPreferences.java).
XML files:
I created the preferences to let the user change the background image of the widget. I have 4 image files for this in the drawable-hdpi folder. Default background is set like android:background="@drawable/goldgreenbg"
In MainActivity.java i have this code to set the background image if user clicks the first or the second element of the listpreference:
preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
String listpref = preferences.getString("listPref", "n/a");
if (listpref.equals("color1"))
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Black" + listpref, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.widgetlayout);
ll.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.blackbg));
}
else if (listpref.equals("color2"))
{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Brown" + listpref, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.widgetlayout);
ll.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.brownbg));
}
Unfortunately this results in changing the activity, not the widget. So now i see the background image instead of the buttons in the activity while the widget is unchanged. I tried to put this in the onCreate() method of UpdateService.java but it doesn't enable setContentView() to use. Any ideas?
Update: main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/goldgreenbg"
android:id="@+id/widgetlayout">
<TextView android:id="@+id/widget_textview"
android:text="@string/widget_text"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="0dip"
android:padding="0dip"
android:textColor="#0B3B0B"
android:textSize="11sp"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/widget_textview2"
android:text="@string/widget_text"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="0dip"
android:padding="0dip"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"/>
<TextView android:id="@+id/widget_textview3"
android:text="@string/widget_text"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
android:layout_marginTop="0dip"
android:padding="0dip"
android:textSize="9sp"
android:textColor="#0B3B0B"/>
</LinearLayout>
Solved: The "If" part should be in the preferences.java file and insted of linearlayout use this code:
RemoteViews updateViews = new RemoteViews(EditPreferences.this.getPackageName(), R.layout.main);
updateViews.setTextColor(R.id.widget_textview, Color.rgb(215, 215, 215));
updateViews.setTextColor(R.id.widget_textview2, Color.WHITE);
updateViews.setTextColor(R.id.widget_textview3, Color.rgb(155, 155, 155));
updateViews.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.ImageView01, ((BitmapDrawable)EditPreferences.this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.blackbg)).getBitmap());
ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(EditPreferences.this, HelloWidget.class);
AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(EditPreferences.this);
manager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, updateViews);
Your problem is right here:
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.widgetlayout);
ll.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.blackbg));
Your setting the whole layout (or at least whatever is inside LinearLayout). You should be using the widget instead.
