I don't doubt that there's some cost to running an app that keeps drawing to a widget window. But it shouldn't be any worse than running a live wallpaper, should it? I assume the widget would get notified when it's not visible and get the chance to stop animating - just like a live wallpaper's supposed to do. Is that not true? In any case, I'd probably turn the animations on and off whenever you touch the widget.
By the way, I'm not talking about tweening or any of the other built- in Android animations. I just want to draw frames to a bitmap and load them to a surface view that maps to the widget 'window' (which I'm hoping is a thing that looks like just another launcher on the home screen). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
