什么是AppWidget?AppWidget就是我们平常在桌面上见到的那种一个个的小窗口,利用这个小窗口可以给用户提供一些方便快捷的操作。本篇打算从以下几个点来介绍AppWidget:
1.如何创建一个简单的AppWidget
2.如何使得AppWidget与客户端程序交互
下面我们来创建一个简单的AppWidget
1、定义AppWidgetProviderInfor:在res/xml文件夹中定义一个名为 :example_appwidget_info.xml,这个名字随便取。它是提供AppWidget元数据;设置在桌面上显示的大小
example_appwidget_info.xml
- < appwidget-provider xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
- android:minWidth = "294dp"
- android:minHeight = "72dp"
- android:updatePeriodMillis = "86400000"
- android:initialLayout = "@layout/example_appwidget" >
- appwidget-provider >
2、为App Widget指定样式和布局;在桌面上显示的内容,布局,就像main.xml布局一样,做为example_appwidget_info.xml的 initialLayout参数的值,用这个布局文件来初始化example_appwidget_info.xml。
- "1.0" encoding= "utf-8" ?>
-
"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" - android:orientation="vertical"
- android:layout_width="fill_parent"
- android:layout_height="fill_parent"
- >
-
- android:id="@+id/widgetTextId"
- android:layout_width="fill_parent"
- android:layout_height="wrap_content"
- android:text="firstWidgetText"
- android:background="#000000"
- />
3、实现继承AppWidgetProvider这个类;
这个类有五个方法:都需要继承:(下面按照当第一次加载Widget到删除的时候,这些方法运行的顺序)
1、onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) Implements onReceive(Context, Intent)
to dispatch calls to the various other methods on AppWidgetProvider.
2、onEnabled (Context context) Called in response to the ACTION_APPWIDGET_ENABLED
broadcast when the a AppWidget for this provider is instantiated. Override this method to implement your own AppWidget functionality.
3、onUpdate (Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) Called in response to the ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE
broadcast when this AppWidget provider is being asked to provide RemoteViews
for a set of AppWidgets. Override this method to implement your own AppWidget functionality.
4、onDeleted (Context context, int[] appWidgetIds) Called in response to the ACTION_APPWIDGET_DELETED
broadcast when one or more AppWidget instances have been deleted. Override this method to implement your own AppWidget functionality.
5、onDisabled (Context context) Called in response to the ACTION_APPWIDGET_DISABLED
broadcast, which is sent when the last AppWidget instance for this provider is deleted. Override this method to implement your own AppWidget functionality.
基中onReceive负责进行接受广播,控制运行哪一个函数,每一个操作都会首先运行这个方法,再调用其它的方法。所以在Widget一次加载到删除过程中,onReceive会执行4次;
如下图:注意message
下面看代码: ExampleAppWidgetProvider.java
- public class ExampleAppWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
- @Override
- public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
- int [] appWidgetIds) {
- System.out.println("onupdate" );
- super .onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
- }
- @Override
- public void onDeleted(Context context, int [] appWidgetIds) {
- System.out.println("onDeleted" );
- super .onDeleted(context, appWidgetIds);
- }
- @Override
- public void onDisabled(Context context) {
- System.out.println("onDisabled" );
- super .onDisabled(context);
- }
- @Override
- public void onEnabled(Context context) {
- System.out.println("onEnabled" );
- super .onEnabled(context);
- }
- }
在这个实例中,因为与Activity脱离关系,所以Activity不用更改,只是在应用系统中注册了一个与这个应用程序相关的AppWidget而已:结果:
下面再来看看如何在AppWidget中添加按钮,添加监听事件。
1、在example_appwidget_info.xml文件里添加Button迫使
2、添加TargetActivity
只是用来响应点击事件,在此例中没有实际意义
- public class TargetActivity extends Activity {
- @Override
- protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
- super .onCreate(savedInstanceState);
- setContentView(R.layout.main);
- }
- }
3、在AndroidManifest.xml文件注册TargetActivity
4、重写ExampleAppWidgetProvider类的onUpdate方法,在第一次创建WidGet的时候,向按钮添加监听。并用PendingIntent,和RemoteView两个类,对事件进行处理;
- public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
- int [] appWidgetIds) {
- System.out.println("onupdated" );
- for ( int i = 0 ; i
- System.out.println(appWidgetIds[i]);
- //创建一个Intent对象
- Intent intent = new Intent(context,TargetActivity. class );
- //创建一个PendingIntent(有四种方法获取)
- PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0 , intent, 0 );
- RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),R.layout.example_appwidget);
- //为按钮绑定事件处理器
- //第一个参数用来指定被绑定处理器的控件的ID
- //第二个参数用来指定当事件发生时,哪个PendingIntent将会被执行
- remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgetButton, pendingIntent);
- //更新AppWidget
- //第一个参数用于指定被更新AppWidget的ID
- appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds[i], remoteViews);
- }
- super .onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
- }
Called in response to the ACTION_APPWIDGET_DELETED
broadcast when one or more AppWidget instances have been deleted. Override this method to implement your own AppWidget functionality.
在实际应用在AppWidget更多的是利用广播机制Action进行处理的;下面我们来看看如何利用广播机制,单击改变AppWidget的内容;在上例 的基础上进行扩展:
1、AppWidget的布局文件:widget01.xml
- xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8" ?>
- < LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
- android:orientation = "vertical"
- android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
- android:layout_height = "fill_parent"
- >
- < Button android:id = "@+id/widgetButton"
- android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
- android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
- android:text = "@string/widget_button" />
- < TextView android:id = "@+id/test_text"
- android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
- android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
- android:text = "@string/test_text"
- android:gravity = "center"
- android:textColor = "#fff" />
- LinearLayout >
其中的Button控件是测试按钮,TextView用来反应单击Button之后显示的内容变化;(这是给Button添加监听器,再利用Action广播。收onRecerve接收,做出动作)
2、修改AndroidManifest.xml
在Reservi里添加action,注册事件
- < receiver android:name = "ExampleAppWidgetProvider" >
- < intent-filter >
- < action android:name = "android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" />
- < action android:name = "learn.test.UPDATE_APP_WIDGET" />
- intent-filter >
- < meta-data android:name = "android.appwidget.provider" android:resource = "@xml/widget_test" />
- receiver >
3、修改ExampleAppWidgetProvider.java代码文件,如下:
- public class ExampleAppWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
- //定义一个常量字符串,该常量用于命名Action
- private static final String UPDATE_ACTION = "learn.test.UPDATE_APP_WIDGET" ;
- @Override
- public void onDeleted(Context context, int [] appWidgetIds) {
- // TODO Auto-generated method stub
- System.out.println("onDeleted" );
- super .onDeleted(context, appWidgetIds);
- }
- @Override
- public void onDisabled(Context context) {
- // TODO Auto-generated method stub
- System.out.println("onDisabled" );
- super .onDisabled(context);
- }
- @Override
- public void onEnabled(Context context) {
- // TODO Auto-generated method stub
- System.out.println("onEnabled" );
- super .onEnabled(context);
- }
- @Override
- public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
- // TODO Auto-generated method stub
- System.out.println("onReceive" );
- String action = intent.getAction();
- if (UPDATE_ACTION.equals(action)) {
- RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
- R.layout.widget01);
- remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.test_text, "this is OnReceive" );
- //getInstance(Context context) Get the AppWidgetManager instance to use for the supplied Context object.静态方法。
- AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
- ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context,ExampleAppWidgetProvider. class );
- appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(componentName, remoteViews);
- } else {
- super .onReceive(context, intent); 这里一定要添加,eles部分,不然,onReceive不会去调用其它的方法。但是如果把这条语句放在外面,就会每次运行 onUpdate,onDeleted等方法,就会运行两次,因为UPDATE_ACTION.equals(action)配置成功会运行一 次,uper.onReceive(context, intent)配置成功又会运行一次,后都是系统自定义的。
- }
- }
- @Override
- public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
- int [] appWidgetIds) {
- // TODO Auto-generated method stub
- System.out.println("onUpdated" );
- //创建一个Intent对象
- Intent intent = new Intent();
- //为Intent对象设置Action
- intent.setAction(UPDATE_ACTION);
- //使用getBroadcast方法,得到一个PendingIntent对象,当该对象执行时,会发送一个广播
- PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0 ,
- intent, 0 );
- RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
- R.layout.widget01);
- remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widgetButton, pendingIntent);
- appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, remoteViews);
- super .onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
- }
- }
