How to make 4x1 size widget on Android homescreen?

Question

I have difficulties developing 4x1 widget for Android.

This is the appprovider

Answer 1

In ICS it must be showing 4x2.

To correct this make a folder in 'res' name 'xml-v14':

Define your widget appwidget-provider with same xml name here. just change minHeight to 40dp. This will correct the error.

Hope this help you.

Answer 2

I don't think it's a newbie mistake.. I've had an appWidget that was 1x1 cell in size. I set it to 72dp x 72dp, and it was working fine.. But it seems like Google changed the widget dimension sizing formula from

(cells * 74) - 2

to

(cells * 70) - 30

So now the default size of my widget has to be 40dp x 40dp..
