How to change widget layout background programmatically in Android

Ok, well the only solution that I could end up coming up with for this was to change the way I was displaying the background image in the LinearLayout. As you can see above I was using the android:background tag to display the image. What I ended up doing was that I removed this and then encased my entire widget layout (which was inside a linearlayout inside a relativelayout. I then just had an ImageView decalred first within the RelativeLayout and then had the rest of the widgets linearlayout sit on top of it. Then within my code I just set the imageview source via the remote view and it worked like a treat.

Not the most elegant/efficient way of coding it, but it worked!

Did you try:

remoteView.setInt(R.id.widget_main, "setBackgroundResource", R.drawable.widget_background_dark_4x2);
