[DEV][GUIDE] Adding Widgets Inside App - Java for Android App Development

I was making an app a few weeks ago but couldn't finish it as I'm short on time. So I'm sharing a bit of sample code from my app.
Basically you can add widgets anywhere in your app. Its completely open source and can be found on my Github.
Some people are asking me if this is a tutorial about adding widgets to an app. It is not. This will show you how to add widgets inside your app. That means in any Activity.
A few notable features:
1. Does not need android.permission.BIND_APPWIDGET which can only be accessed by system apps.
2. Can handle clicks just like homescreen widgets.
This has been tested on GB, ICS, JB, KK. Older versions are not tested but it should work on API 3+.

Haha..thanks. I was going to develop a lockscreen with widget support, but won't be able to do so coz of exams as I'm short on time. So thought about sharing the source in case someone else can make use of it.

I will as soon as I have some time on my hands.

@EatHeat i have added this code to my app
but when i press add widget nothing happens.
but when i compile ur app it works fine .
also this is more simply an app source instead of guide
so i think changing the title would be better
but thats just my opinion

Really nice, good job!:thumbup:
I tried that before, but if you had posted it a few weeks earlier I'd not have to spend so much time on it!
@SpaceCaker: Without any code, nobody can help u.

MainAcitivy.java

No guide can be complete without source right? This is just a guide. Not a source to any app.
And what happens when you press the button?

yeah but a guide is for what i know that a guide is.
is that it explains what u did and why and such
when i press the button nothing happens.
ive removed my folders and redid it once again but same thing happens.

Put a log at the end of each method to see which one is getting called and which one is not.
Or post your code.

here is my source code
i also added the signed and compiled APK inside
also i noticed that when i set the SpacedActivity to MainActivity from yours in manifest
then it works fine .
but i wanted to load it from includelayout": thing
so i can implement it on like a second view or on second tab

awesome tutorial. i thought that this was yet another widget (on the home screen) tutorial. im glad that im wrong.

Hi, thank you so much for the tutorial! Could you help me, I am trying to make it so the widget appears on a fragment in my main activity but i can only get it to show in the widget activity.
Thanks

[6/10/08] Tippy v.1.1 [Open Source] UPDATED!

I made a little something for you!
Tippy is a bill splitter and tip calculator for Windows Mobile. It was designed to work on all resolutions and to never require use of the stylus.
I improved many things with v.1.1. Lots of bugs were fixed, UI was made easier to use and a big button SIP was added for number input. You should definitively update if you have 1.0!

I will tell you right now this is one useful program. Great Job, I will let you know of any problems as I use it more.

I was affraid the demand would be too small but seeing people are interested I'll pursue development a bit.
VGA for devices is ready (Force QVGA) but it needs .net CF and I didn't want it around for a first release. I'll also add more currency symbols as suggested on another forum.
Something I did that I would like to see more often is settings saved to text files. It can be edited easily by anyone and leaves nothing after uninstall.
Thank you for sharing!
I am definately going to try this out.
Great idea!
Best regards,

feature request
i still haven't been able to put it on my phone, but i'll have a crack at it tonight... from the screen shot on your site... i like how the tip percentage and number of people are configured with finger friendly buttons... what do you think about adding an easier way to add the amount to tip? i don't know if you've used g-alarm... but maybe something like how you set the alarm time in that? where you have add/subtract buttons below each digit (that way u wouldn't have to bring up the keyboard).
keep it up

That's interesting. I'll try G-Alarm and look for what you are talking about.
I might add a pop-up form with a keypad when you click the text box and see how this work.
I don't like the look very much so I might add a cuter UI (skinnable ) if it doesn't slow down the launch time too much.
I love the idea, and tried it. BUT the calucation is WRONG. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Oops! You are right! Once you start messing with the amount of people present it gets ugly. I'll fix that soon enough!
I don't test my apps enough
I fixed the results so they should be accurate now.
I'm currently working on a big keypad to type the amount. I will also add some languages and currencies and eventually skinnable interface.
UPDATE:
I made the following changes:
-Tip is now accurately calculated
-The amount is entered using a SIP keypad
-The + and - buttons for tip and people are now changing individual digits instead of the whole number. It's much faster and easier to enter it now.
-Changed the look a bit, fixed control resize errors when rotating screen, VGA should work well.
After all I won't add a skinnable UI to save space and keep the app fast and usable.
I only have a few minor fixes left to be done so I should release v.1.1 tomorrow. (I'm on Ubuntu and I'm too lazy to reboot... and Vista sucks).
Ta-da! An update!
A lot of stuff was fixed, including all of the suggestions except languages

Hey there...
it looks fantastic... much much much better than what I have....
just few pointers:
If we can reduce the gloss/gradient on the buttons a bit.
and if we can use a lighter shade of blue...
everything else (font , the button shape ) looks great.
Thanks again for contributing....
Much appreciated....!!

[APP] TimeTracker - track your tasks

A month ago i desided to go to magistracy. To be accepted I needed to pass three exams: logistic, computer science and english language. I created schedule for a week where I distributed time for practise for each lesson. But soon I noticed that I'm catching nothing. On this step I decided to track on what I was spending my time. Searching in the Market gave me nothing that can help me solve my problem. I needed a little functionality from an app:
1. Creating tasks
2. Creating tasks for different projects
3. Tracking time spent on task
4. Userfriendly grafs
So, I decide to write this app by myself and that's what I got.
It's not release version. It's beta and it needs some sort of tests.
By this time this app can do everything I wrote above. Soon I'll finish it by version 1.0. I'm waiting for your comments.
Roadmap
1. Will add new types of graphs. Particularly graph for task's mark and so on.
2. Got a few bugs which I'll fix.

Do you've written the graph renderer by yourself? I've written a pretty similiar app, i'd love to see this in it too
Fantastic app, look fits right in with the ICS design. Looks quite like actually the Google+ app. This should help all the teenagers such as me get coursework in on time
Great app. Keep it up.

Hi, I'm trying to use your app on my Xoom running ice cream sandwich.
I was able to add task, but i can't figure out how to edit or delete my task.
Thanks I'm looking forward to use this app to keep track of my spent hours studying.
The app looks great so far.
but please the deactivate the menubtton.
i hat the emulated one on my galaxy nexus
Hi there, love the idea, simple but effective.
I'm using a desire z and whenever I slide open my keyboard to add tasks and the screen goes into landscape, I get a error and it closes the task entry dialog.
App itself keeps running btw.
Hey just installed your app!
Looks great so far.
But under "task>new" task the font color in the "Tag"-textbox is white.
White font on white background is not really advantageous
I think the "New Task"-window is really small, too.

Totally awesome and very useful app. It looks great on my T-Mobile Galaxy SII. I'll test and give feedback in a few.
1st thing I noticed is, there is no home screen widget to lists tasks. Also, I wish something like this can integrate with Google Tasks.
Anyway, i LOVE the way it looks right now, and I'll get back to you.

But would it be possible to add a feature to edit and delete tasks?
When I long press on the task or if I press the menu button, nothing happens.

New free tool: Start Screen Unlimited for Windows 8

Hi All,
We're just finishing the new free utility made specially for Windows 8.
It works OVER THE TOP of Windows Start Screen with tiles.
There is no system files changes or patching.
This version does not work for RT, only for Windows 8 or 8.1.
It gives you a clock, a direct google search, power menu, etc.
Download startscreenunlimited.com
I have no rights to publish the post to the developers section. Sorry.
I'm interested in testers and feedback.
Thank you!
Dmitry

I like it and I don't have any slow response, neither need I to click it twice, it just works when I click menus.

Sorry. It is not possible to make it transparent because otherwise it does not capture the mouse events.
I will check the "response problem".

I see. But isn't it possible to use a two-images system in that case?
One image for the real icon, and the other one (non-transparent then) for the collision which will trigger the mouse click event.

[Q] System App / S-Pen for cutting things out ?

Hey, I debloated @_alexndr ROM by myself and now after a few days I realize one thing:
I can't use this handy little feature to press on the S-Pen and cut out what's interesting for me, so I can
share it.
Basically what is working:
The cutting out animation is working BUT the window with all the options to customize and share is missing.
I think there's a system App I deleted which is supposed to deal with this.

I assumed that my description wouldn't be the best
okay, so just follow:
- take out your S-Pen
- press the button on the S-Pen and hold it
- draw a circle on your homescreen
Now the part, that woun't come up on my device:
- a window opens up
- you can adjust the little cut out you just made
- share it with the apps below on the screen

That's exactly what I was talking about !
Is there any way to make a txt file by the device itself, so you don't have to type out all the apk's ?
Or can you just make a few screenshots of your system/app & system/pirv-app folder ?
As an alternative you could make a screenrecord and put it on youtube (or whatever).

Completely forgot i can just list them in terminal. I probably havent uploaded them in the right order. But here you go, also i have renamed some of them. But its fairly easy to guess what they where before. Got some extra apps in there too. Like the video editor, sketchbook, city maps. Just for an example.
Hope this helps!

Well, here I am again.
Unfortunaly I can't figure out what app or apps are missing on my device.
With the pictures given me by @celderic I compared my apps with his.
There were a few apps which I was missing which I put back to system/app or system/priv-app.
Sadly no changes !
So I checked all apps which I would combine with this feature and opened up the apk's to search for evidence.
As far as I can tell, PhotoRetouching_FHD_H.apk is responsible for what I'm looking for.
Funny thing is, I had this all the time on my phone so why does it not work ?
I can't tell and I can't think of anything I can do more, so basically this is a dead end unless someone wants to help out.
