Thanks for your reply Jeff,
Turns out what I really needed to do here was learn how Intent based
programming on Android works and how to actually implement it! What I
was missing here was actually declaring the activity in the Android
XML (I assumed that activities only had to be declared if they were
actually going to display something).
Still though I would be really nice if I could get direct access to
Button Widgets via LayerInflator so that I can directly manipulate the
background of the button, unfortunately the following seems to have no
effect:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.widget_layout, null);
Button button = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.ToggleButton);
button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.airplaneoff);
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
R.layout.widget_layout);
Intent defineIntent = new Intent(context, ToggleActivity.class);
defineIntent.putExtra("toggle", toggle);
PendingIntent pendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0,
defineIntent, Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.ToggleButton, pendingIntent);
// Tell the widget manager
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
No big deal tho since I can always use an ImageView and call
RemoteViews.setImageViewBitmap(id)
