You can make it small, but I believe it will capture all "focus", so even if you see other apps you wont be able to interact with them. I'd think a widget work work...but yes the polling would have to be rather high, which is not good for a widget.
What you could do is tie a widget together with an app - have an app that runs and puts a small icon in the notification bar, and if that app is running then the widget updates more frequently. The app is "invisible" except for the notification bar. When you pull down the bar and click on the app it can open and you can then "turn it off" from in the app, and then have the widget not update anymore. -niko On May 31, 7:39 am, TreKing <treking...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, May 30, 2010 at 3:04 PM, cellurl <gpscru...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Can an app not be full-screen? > > Yes - check out themes, specifically the dialog theme. > > > E.g. can I make a postage size app? > > I don't know if there are limits on the size, but probably. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered > deviceshttp://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
