Hi all.
I've a quick question pertaining to remote views.
Is it safe to keep and maintain a copy of the last RemoteViews that was used
for updating the appwidget? I have a status message that is updated
regularily (more so than the rest of the widget). Suppose I have something
like...
This updates the views (this is called before manager.updateAppWidget(
ids[i], remoteViews ); )
void updateAppWidgetFunction( Context context ) {
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(
context.getPackageName(),
R.layout.main );
// Set all the views stuff
lastRemoteViews = remoteViews; // lastRemoteViews is a static private
member of the class
}
And I have a method that updates the status message like so:
void updateStatusMessage( String str ) {
RemoteViews remoteViews = null;
if ( lastRemoteViews == null )
remoteViews = remoteViewsWithIntents( context );
else
remoteViews = lastRemoteViews;
remoteViews.setTextViewText( R.id.textview_status, str );
refreshWidgetViews( context, remoteViews );
}
Is this good practise? Or should I make a means of specialising the
updateAppWidgetFunction to update the status message only?
