Hi,
I have following code to add a widget on custom home screen . when I
run this code it doesn't show 'Search Widget' on Android 2.1 but same
code show 'Search Widget' on Android 2.2 .
Can any one let me know why it is like this? and how I can add 'Search
Widget' for 2.1 on Eclair as well.
protected void doWidgetPick() {
int appWidgetId =
this.mAppWidgetHost.allocateAppWidgetId();
Intent pickIntent = new
Intent(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_PICK);
pickIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
appWidgetId);
/* custom extra that has to be there or else NPE will happen
due to android bug */
//this is pulled from the Launcher source, I just changed a
few things as it's just a dummy entry at this point
ArrayList<AppWidgetProviderInfo> customInfo =
new ArrayList<AppWidgetProviderInfo>();
AppWidgetProviderInfo info = new AppWidgetProviderInfo();
info.provider = new ComponentName(getPackageName(),
"XXX.YYY");
info.label = "i love android";
info.icon = R.drawable.icon;
customInfo.add(info);
pickIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(
AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_CUSTOM_INFO, customInfo);
ArrayList<Bundle> customExtras = new ArrayList<Bundle>();
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putString("custom_widget", "search_widget");
customExtras.add(b);
pickIntent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(
AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_CUSTOM_EXTRAS,
customExtras);
/* that's a lot of lines that are there for no function at
all */
// start the pick activity
startActivityForResult(pickIntent, REQUEST_PICK_APPWIDGET);
//because we've defined ourselves as a singleTask activity,
it will allow this intent to be part of the task
}
Note: I have take above code sample from a web site.
Please suggest if you know any specific information which might be
helpful.
Regards,
varinaq
