[android-developers] Re: Resizable appwidgets and backward compatibility
OK, here's an absolute kludge but one which seems to work. In my resources/xml directory, I still have the four existing AppWidgetProviderInfo metadata files for backward compatibility: mywidget_1x1.xml mywidget_2x2.xml mywidget_3x3.xml mywidget_4x4.xml Each of these is for a different size of widget as used pre-3.1, with a pretty basic XML, like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? appwidget-provider xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:initialLayout=@layout/mywidget_1x1 android:minWidth=72dp android:minHeight=72dp /appwidget-provider Then for 3.1, my resources/xml-v12 directory looks like this: mywidget_1x1.xml mywidget_2x2.xml mywidget_3x3.xml mywidget_4x4.xml *mywidget_resizable.xml* The key is that mywidget_resizable.xml is the only live one here, defining the single resizable widget for 3.1. The other four are all dummy XML files like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? foo / It doesn't matter what you put in them as long as they're valid XML but *not * a valid AppWidgetProviderInfo structure. That way, they'll override the earlier-version XMLs, but the OS will be unable to parse appwidgets out of them, so won't show them to the user in the appwidget picker. Naturally, all five need to be defined in your manifest. Like I said, it's a horrible kludge, but I'm not seeing any actual problems with it If anyone has a better idea, I'd still like to hear it.

[android-developers] Re: Resizable appwidgets and backward compatibility
The receiver element has an enabled attribute. Have your tried setting that to from a boolean resources that you can define in as true in values and false in values-v12? By the way, I would use V11, why restrict it to V12? On Jun 22, 5:49 pm, String sterling.ud...@googlemail.com wrote: OK, here's an absolute kludge but one which seems to work.

[android-developers] Re: Resizable appwidgets and backward compatibility
Hey, that works, thanks! Good idea. As for the version number, resizable appwidgets were only added in v12.
