I have an HTC Hero from Sprint in the US and was curious about the how
the Stocks HTC widget scrolls text like a ticker. It is only the 4x1
sized widget that scrolls quotes. As far as I know, homescreen widgets
can only use RemoteViews for the layout, which is limited to the
following layouts and widgets (from
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#CreatingLayout):
* AbsoluteLayout
* FrameLayout
* LinearLayout
* RelativeLayout
* AnalogClock
* Button
* Chronometer
* ImageButton
* ImageView
* ProgressBar
* TextView
Descendants of these classes are not supported.
I know that this could be done in an app with android.widget.scroller,
but that can't be used in a homescreen widget. Would this
functionality be specific to the Sense UI homescreen capabilities? I
guess, my main question is if this can be replicated for a standard
Android widget and if so how.
