Changing app widget background color programmatically

Question

How do I set the background color of the home screen app widget programmatically?

Answer 1

Remember widget is remoteView. You have very limited resource to updates UI of widget and not directly.

You can try :

remoteViews.setInt(viewId, "setBackgroundColor", Color.BLACK);

I never used it but i guess it may be the way.

I guess you need to change color dynamically.

  Button button;
