Dynamically adjusting widget's content and layout to the size the user defined through resize. Android
Thanks to A--C , this is possible for Jellybean and above devices and is simple to implement.
Below is the sample code using onAppWidgetOptionsChanged
method
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
@Override
public void onAppWidgetOptionsChanged(Context context,
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int appWidgetId, Bundle newOptions) {
Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "Changed dimensions");
// See the dimensions and
Bundle options = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetOptions(appWidgetId);
// Get min width and height.
int minWidth = options.getInt(AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MIN_WIDTH);
int minHeight = options
.getInt(AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MIN_HEIGHT);
// Obtain appropriate widget and update it.
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId,
getRemoteViews(context, minWidth, minHeight));
super.onAppWidgetOptionsChanged(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId,
newOptions);
}
/**
* Determine appropriate view based on width provided.
*
* @param minWidth
* @param minHeight
* @return
*/
private RemoteViews getRemoteViews(Context context, int minWidth,
int minHeight) {
// First find out rows and columns based on width provided.
int rows = getCellsForSize(minHeight);
int columns = getCellsForSize(minWidth);
if (columns == 4) {
// Get 4 column widget remote view and return
} else {
// Get appropriate remote view.
return new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
R.layout.quick_add_widget_3_1);
}
}
/**
* Returns number of cells needed for given size of the widget.
*
* @param size Widget size in dp.
* @return Size in number of cells.
*/
private static int getCellsForSize(int size) {
int n = 2;
while (70 * n - 30 < size) {
++n;
}
return n - 1;
}
