My understanding is the same as well. You have access to these view objects only through the RemoteViews class.
Here is the API for that http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RemoteViews.html So you seem to have only limited functionality exposed through this class. The exposed functionality include a few gets and sets and then you can register an onclick event. And as per the docs the only views allowed are FrameLayout LinearLayout RelativeLayout AnalogClock Button Chronometer ImageButton ImageView ProgressBar TextView Satya On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 12:39 PM, nEx.Software <[email protected]> wrote: > > There is not a whole lot that you can do to access the text view. > AFAIK, everything must be done through the RemoteViews object and its > appropriate "set..." functions like you have here : > updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.myTxt,"Helloworld"); > > You can access some other functions of TextView via functions like > setInt(), setDouble(), setFloat()... > But I am not positive which ones are accessible in this way. > > On Sep 22, 9:13 am, ColletJb <[email protected]> wrote: >> The problem is that findViewById() belongs to Activity, not >> AppWidgetProvider. >> >> How could I do then ?
