Android: Changing LinearLayout in a widget

Question

I have this really annoying problem:

In my widget, i would like to change the background by code. I noticed on the Google doc than I can easily change the background

Answer 1

You cannot modify the background that way, due to limitations in the RemoteViews API.

What you can do is choose a different layout -- one with the background you want -- when you create your RemoteViews instance for this particular update.
