  1. POWidget change settings doesn't update after manually changing settings
    text
    copied!<p>I am kinda new to android programming. I am trying to make a widget that turns off and on the airplane mode. I am having trouble updating the widget after I manually change the Airplane Mode in the settings. I assumed that the onUpdate function would be invoked once I go back to the Homescreen, but I am wrong. How would I solve this?</p> <p>Below is my code: Main Widget </p> <pre><code>import android.app.PendingIntent; import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager; import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider; import android.content.ComponentName; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.widget.RemoteViews; import android.provider.Settings; import android.widget.Toast; import android.util.Log; public class AirplaneModeWidget extends AppWidgetProvider { private static boolean state; private static String TAG = "APMode_WIDGET"; public void onCreate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { Log.i(TAG,"In onCreate"); state = isAirplaneMode(context); RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.airplane_mode); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.ibtn_airplane_mode, buildButtonPendingIntent(context)); updateUI(remoteViews); pushWidgetUpdate(context, remoteViews); } @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { Log.i(TAG,"In onUpdate"); state = isAirplaneMode(context); RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.airplane_mode); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.ibtn_airplane_mode, buildButtonPendingIntent(context)); updateUI(remoteViews); pushWidgetUpdate(context, remoteViews); } public static PendingIntent buildButtonPendingIntent(Context context) { Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction("com.ps.transparenttogglewidget.intent.action.CHANGE_STATUS"); return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); } public static void pushWidgetUpdate(Context context, RemoteViews remoteViews) { ComponentName myWidget = new ComponentName(context, AirplaneModeWidget.class); AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); manager.updateAppWidget(myWidget, remoteViews); } public static void updateUI(RemoteViews rview) { Log.i(TAG,"in updateUI"); Log.i(TAG,"State is" + state); if(state) { rview.setImageViewResource(R.id.ibtn_airplane_mode,R.drawable.ic_hw_airplane_on); } else { rview.setImageViewResource(R.id.ibtn_airplane_mode,R.drawable.ic_hw_airplane_off); } } public static boolean isAirplaneMode(Context context) { Log.i(TAG,"in isAirplaneMode"); return Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(), Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 0) == 1; } public static void setAirplaneMode(Context context) { Log.i(TAG,"in setAirplaneMode"); state = isAirplaneMode(context); Toast.makeText(context,"state :"+state,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); Log.i(TAG,"state is "+state); Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, state ? 0 : 1); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED); intent.putExtra("state",!state); context.sendBroadcast(intent); state = isAirplaneMode(context); } } </code></pre> <p>This is my IntentReceiver Code</p> <pre><code>import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.util.Log; import android.widget.RemoteViews; public class AirplaneModeIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private static String TAG = "APMode_WIDGET"; public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.i(TAG,"in onReceive"); if(intent.getAction().equals("com.ps.transparenttogglewidget.intent.action.CHANGE_STATUS")) { AirplaneModeWidget.setAirplaneMode(context); RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.airplane_mode); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.ibtn_airplane_mode, AirplaneModeWidget.buildButtonPendingIntent(context)); AirplaneModeWidget.updateUI(remoteViews); AirplaneModeWidget.pushWidgetUpdate(context, remoteViews); } } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
