Update app widget on click in android

问题

I am working on Android Widget my widget is like following diagram, [prev] event name [next]

prev, next are the buttons on the widget.So i want to update the event name on click of next and prev button.On start of the service i loaded the data and stored it in array list. Now i want to iterate through the array list by clicking the next and prev buttons on the widget.

So how can i achieve this.Please help me with proper solution. Here is my xml layout

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/lytWidget2"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnPreviousView"
        android:layout_width="43dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="left|center"
        android:background="@drawable/ic_leftarrow"
        android:padding="5dip" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="52dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.97"
        android:text="Event Name" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnNextView"
        android:layout_width="43dp"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
        android:background="@drawable/ic_rightarrow"
        android:padding="5dip" />
</LinearLayout>

So, just handle the click events of your buttons in the AppWidgetProvider class like this. See this good tutorial on how to create simple widget. There are click handlers added too.

Tutorial – Creating a Custom Analog Clock Widget

Sample code

 @Override 
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) 
 { 
      super.onReceive(context, intent); 

      RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
      // find your TextView here by id here and update it.

      Toast.makeText(context, "Clicked!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); 
 }

First, in your WidgetProviderClass you should define your actions so that you could differentiate them. In this case:

private static final String ACTION_UPDATE_CLICK_NEXT = "action.UPDATE_CLICK_NEXT";
private static final String ACTION_UPDATE_CLICK_PREVIOUS = "action.UPDATE_CLICK_PREVIOUS";

Next, in your overrided onUpdate() funcion you should put:

@Override
    public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {

            RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),R.layout.your_widget_layout);

            views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.nextButtonWidget, getPendingSelfIntent(context, ACTION_UPDATE_CLICK_NEXT));
            views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.previousButtonWidget, getPendingSelfIntent(context, ACTION_UPDATE_CLICK_PREVIOUS));

}

Function for creating an intent that's directed to the current class (to itself):

private PendingIntent getPendingSelfIntent(Context context, String action) {

        Intent intent = new Intent(context, getClass()); // An intent directed at the current class (the "self").
        intent.setAction(action);
        return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
    }

When the event occurs onReceive() function will be called:

    @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            super.onReceive(context, intent);


            if (ACTION_UPDATE_CLICK_NEXT.equals(intent.getAction())) {
                 // if the user clicked next
                }


            else if (ACTION_UPDATE_CLICK_PREVIOUS.equals(intent.getAction())) {
                // if the user clicked previous
        }

}

BONUS: If you want to call the onUpdate() function here is a function that will do that for you. It requires only the context parameter!

private void onUpdate(Context context) {

    AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
    ComponentName thisAppWidgetComponentName = new ComponentName(context.getPackageName(), getClass().getName());
    int[] appWidgetIds = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(thisAppWidgetComponentName);
    onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
}
